In uno loco
Had a wonderful evening at the Apra Silver Scroll Awards here in Wellington this week. Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners who went on to take the prizes. Some very talented people at work here, aside from the artists themselves. The sound, stage and lighting sets were all simply fantastic and the old St James Theatre simply buzzed with the presence of such illuminati.
Happy to be back at Double Vision in Miramar. Call in if you are in the area, for a chill afternoon at Wellington’s best brewery.
Pack your lunch and come along and listen amidst the stunning archecture of Old Saint Paul’s here in Wellington. I will be playing a section of solo pieces from my albums ‘Etudes, Old & New’ and ‘Nuevo Dirreción’ plus one or two new pieces.
I imagine many local Wellingtonians are well aware of the architectural treasure that is Old St Paul’s in Pipitea. I first visited it several years ago on a trip to the city and was immediately captivated by the beautiful wooden vaulted ceilings and deep, lush colours of the stained glass windows. I was so pleased to hear that they have a winter concert series called Musical Punch Over Lunch that features a diverse weekly concert of contrasting music.
Even more buzzed to be playing some of my own compositions for Classical Guitar. More details to follow.
Plenty to look at and listen to this weekend, what with Cuba Dupa kicking off yesterday, but if you are after something a little more low key, head over to Park Road. We will be playing from 3pm to 5pm.
Recent image of The Barry Holt Trio playing at Mount Victoria Bowls Club. A truly idyllic setting on a sunny, early autumn afternoon. Nestled into the side of Mount Vic. It could be a million miles away from anywhere. Big thanks to Nick and Jared for the opportunity.
