THE SEVEN IRISH TENORS

 

THE SEVEN IRISH TENORS originated in Dublin more than a decade ago with the sole intent of showcasing to the world the finest young exponents of Irish singing.

As time has evolved personnel in the troupe have changed, with many international performers of Irish descent joining the company to continue the tradition of Irish tenor singing that focuses on purity of voice. Under the tutelage of the Producer of the world-famous Irish dance company, Spirit Of The Dance, the company now boasts a pool of Irish tenors who, when playing large arenas are expanded to twelve performers. See http://www.spiritartists.com/the-twelve-tenors.html

In this 2-hour concert performed entirely by THE SEVEN IRISH TENORS, you’ll be thrilled to hear Irish favourites such as “Danny Boy”, “The Rose Of Tralee”, “MacNamara’s Band”,”Phil The Fluter’s Ball”, “Galway Bay” and “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”, as well as more contemporary songs like “You Raise Me Up”, “We Are The Champions”, and favourites such as “You’ll Never Walk Alone” “The Rhythm Of Life” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.  There’s even some fabulous Beatles songs including “Hey Jude”– all performed by young, handsome, sparkling performers much acclaimed in Europe. And of course there wouldn’t be a show without “O Sole Mio”, “Funiculi, Funicula” and the spine-tingling “Nessun Dorma”! As the International Post wrote after experiencing THE SEVEN IRISH TENORS -  “they are simply breathtaking”

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER

 

They’re back, for two shows only in which they perform the entire concert. Its the hit line-up of Tim Hauser, Cheryl Bentyne, Janis Siegel and Alan Paul, so from their extensive repertoire you can expect to hear songs such as Route 66, A-tisket A-tasket, Java Jive, Operator, Birdland and The Boy From New York City. As Janis said ”People see in us something that they wish there was more of in the world, which is harmony,” said Siegel. And no matter how technologically advanced the music business becomes, I think people will always still want to hear the sound of the human voice, especially raised in harmony.” Book for this thrilling concert today.

An Intimate Evening with RICK WAKEMAN

Stewart Macpherson is so very proud to announce that 37 years after his last visit to New Zealand, legendary keyboard maestro, composer and songwriter RICK WAKEMAN will be giving three very special and unique one-man shows in New Zealand this October.
English born Wakeman, best known for his role as the former keyboardist in the progressive rock band YES, was last in New Zealand in 1975 when he performed Journey To The Centre of the Earth with the Auckland Symphonia at Western Springs, Auckland.

Fast forward to 2012 and Wakeman returns in what will be a rare and intimate trio of concerts in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch from October 6-8 known as “An Intimate Evening With Rick Wakeman”.  The one-man show is described as “an entertaining evening with Rick performing on a grand piano interspersed by ludicrously ridiculous, albeit true, funny anecdotes”.

Simon Sweetman’s interview with Rick is not to be missed … enjoy a great read ….

Wakeman boasts a long catalogue of impressive musical plaudits; 50,000,000 record sales around the world, which have included more than 150 record and CD releases, soundtracks for more than 25 films, and more than 4,000 world-wide concert performances.

His name has appeared on the credits of albums as a session musician with Al Stewart, Elton John, Lou Reed, John Williams, Cat Stevens (including the classic piano on Morning Has Broken), Marc Bolan, Marsha Hunt, Mary Hopkin, Black Sabbath, and David Bowie. With all of this success it’s understandable how he has endeared himself to all genres and all ages, a rare accomplishment in this day and age!

Rick is looking forward to bringing his one-man show to New Zealand:  “ I have been really rather fortunate to have reached an age where people stop trying to tell you what you should be doing. I think they have now come to the conclusion that I’m not going away, so they might as well let me get on with what I want to do!   This means that I have been able to dip my toes into the world of comedy, stand-up, television, acting and writing which means full days and a full life. I’ve also been able to diversify as regards concerts and these vary from shows with my band to full blown concerts with band, symphony orchestra and choir.

“Over the last couple of decades, the one man show, ”An Intimate Evening with Rick Wakeman” has surprised even me as to its popularity and has been performed in the UK, America, South America and Eastern Europe and I am really thrilled to be coming back to New Zealand, (which is also my wife’s favourite country), to perform the shows there.”

More information , including a full discography , can be found on Rick’s website rwcc.com.  Also visit www.rickwakeman.co.nz  and follow him on Twitter @GrumpyOldRick .

OH WHAT A NIGHT! 2013 Tour

In 2012 they came from Las Vegas and played 10 NZ Cities – to rave reviews.  Now OH WHAT A NIGHT! returns to play 7 additional Cities in 2013. Oh What A Night! is a show that celebrates the hits of Franki Valli & The Four Seasons in an entertaining format that internationally has had the audiences singing along, clapping and cheering for more.
  The fourseasoned performers – George Solomon, Brandon Albright, Paul Holmquist and Rick Morgan – not only sing the hits and hit the high notes for which Franki Valli is famous; they also dance expertly and entertain with humorous banter in the great Vegas tradition. This award-winning 2 hour tribute show covers the gamut from earlier hits such as Sherry, Rag Doll and Walk Like a Man, through to 1970s favourites Who Loves You, and Grease, as well as the more melodic love songs, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You and My Eyes Adored You.

The greatest Hits of THE NEW SEEKERS and PAPERLACE …..

SMASH HITS 70’s: The Greatest Hits of the New Seekers and Paper Lace

Get ready to sing along. Some of the most iconic 70’s songs of all time will be performed “live” across New Zealand this April and May by the singers who made them famous so many years ago: The New Seekers’ Eve Graham and Paper Lace’s Philip Wright.

Eve Graham’s remarkable vocal talents have been adored by fans for more than four decades, and the Scottish-born star’s musical journey has seen her perform around the world and on a variety of stages: from American Bandstand and the Sonny and Cher Show, to The Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise.

In a career that produced a string of memorable hits, such as Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma; Nickel Song; Circles; Never Ending Song Of Love and Beg, Steal or Borrow, Eve is probably best remembered for her performance of I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing, the famous soundtrack to Coca-Cola’s ‘Hilltop’ commercial – the company’s most successful campaign in its history.

“The Nickel Song” – Eve Graham at The Royal Albert Hall, 1972
“Look What They’ve Done To My Song”  – Eve at The Royal Albert Hall, 1972
“The Night Chicago Died” – Paperlace live in 1974
“Billy Don’t Be A Hero”
– Paperlace live on BBC’s Top Of The Pops 1974

PAPERLACE:

Joining Eve on the New Zealand tour will be Philip Wright and Paper Lace, whose memorable compositions such as Billy Don’t Be A Hero; Hitchin’ A Ride and The Black Eyed Boys led them to 70’s superstardom and sold millions of copies around the world.

The classic The Night Chicago Died reached number one in the American Charts, achieving platinum sales and winning the title of largest selling single worldwide in 1974.

After re-releasing two magical albums in 2010, vocalist Philip Wright and original bassist Cliff Fish have joined forces with Phil Hendricks and Paul Robinson to recreate the authentic live sound of Paper Lace for the Smash Hit’s 70’s New Zealand tour.

 

YES – First time in NZ. One Show Only. 1 APRIL

The world’s most quintessential prog-rock band YES will perform in New Zealand for the first time on 1 April, 2012. 

YES – The Legendary, Grammy® Award winning prog-rock band that has defined many a generation features a lineup of guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White, singer Jon Davison and keyboard player Geoff Downes..

FLY FROM HERE is the first album YES has recorded for close to a decade and The return of Horn along with the Maestro’s that make up YES has brought back the fluid freedom that their music’s ingenuity is best known for. (See reviews below of their recent UK performances)

YES holds a shrewd insight and creative vision that challenges audiences as they stretch the boundaries of music, and their new album FLY FROM HERE was produced by the legendary Trevor Horn in the spirit that YES was founded.

YES’ performance will feature the title track from that new album as well as the hugely successful and indelible catalogue of music from hit albums such as DRAMA, FRAGILE, CLOSE TO THE EDGE and 90125. 

YES’ remarkable career has served to re-define the boundaries of rock for more than four decades. YES has played the role as a dominant driving music force selling over 30 million albums, reaching platinum status multiple times worldwide. Their symphonic use of sound and innovative musical styles have made each of the group’s player’s a virtuoso in his own right.

This will be YES’ first visit to New Zealand, and they will perform the entire concert at the Vector Arena on Sunday, 1 April 2012.

See a review of 2 of their very recent performances –  Hammersmith Apollo gig on 11 November 2011 and their Manchester Apollo performance on 13th November 2011.

Starlight Express

The fastest show on earth!

Ch-Ch-Ch Boogie is one of the pre-show songs about trains that sets the mood in the arenas for a fabulous night of spectacle and fun in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s amazing roller-skating musical STARLIGHT EXPRESS. People left the arenas buzzing with excitement about what they’d seen. The reviews were uniformly appreciative, with superlatives such as “magical”, “high-energy”, “spectacular”, “awesome” etc., which is always very satisfying for us as Producers to hear and experience. Here is what one reviewer wrote. “If you’re looking for deep and meaningful you’ve come to the wrong place, but the show never pretends to be anything other than what it is – a spectacular, feel-good entertainment with catchy tunes, bubblegum romance, outrageous costumes and rollerskates. The musical score – delivered ‘live’ by an impressive though unseen band – always strikes the right emotional chord and there is an appealing musical playfulness in many of the songs. The large cast are all highly accomplished singers and dancers with standout performances coming from some of the veterans of the show’s extensive world tour. Alongside these seasoned professionals the large Kiwi contingent more than holds its own.”

The 7 Irish Tenors

The 7 Irish Tenors toured NZ during November 2009.

Sensational. At every performance, a standing ovation for the wonderful Seven Irish Tenors!

There was a lot of blarney, but also every song was instantly recognised from, ‘Irish Eyes Are Smiling’ and ‘Danny Boy’ thru to Queen’s ‘We Are The Champions’, The Beatles ‘Twist & Shout’ and, of course. a superb rendition of ‘Nessun Dorma’. And at every performance the tenors came out front of house to meet their patrons, and autograph the CD of the show – now available from our SHOP under CD’s for sale.

Burn The Floor

The international dance sensation Burn The Floor visits New Zealand direct from its record-breaking run on Broadway! You’ve seen Ballroom dance on shows like “Dancing with the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Now, with Burn The Floor,  you will feel, live on stage, all the passion, the drama and the sizzling excitement of 20 gorgeous champion dancers, in a true theatrical experience, a performance with a grace and athleticism that The New York Times calls, “Dazzling!”

From Harlem’s hot nights at The Savoy, where dances such as the Lindy, Foxtrot and Charleston were born, to the Latin Quarter where the Cha-Cha, Rumba and Salsa steamed up the stage, Burn The Floor takes audiences on a journey through the passionate drama of dance. The elegance of the Viennese Waltz, the exuberance of the Jive, the intensity of the Paso Doblé – audiences will experience them all, as well as the Tango, Samba, Mambo, Quickstep and Swing.

Burn the Floor-it’s Ballroom.  Reinvented for 2010

Spandau Ballet and Tears for Fears

The ultimate 80s double bill spectacular. Two of the UK’s hottest 80′s band, played together in the same concert, for the first time in NZ on 29 April, 2010.

Fresh from sell-out shows in London’s 02 Arena, both bands were visiting Australia, and we managed to convince them to play one date in Auckland’s Vector Arena.

The original members of both bands played all their hits, so it was effectively 2 shows for the price of one.

All five original members of Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley, John Keeble, Gary Kemp, Martin Kemp and Steve Norman of Spandau Ballet performed Gold, True, Lifeline, I Don’t Need This Pressure On, To Cut A Long Story Short, and Only When You Leave, amongst others, in a 2-hour set. Opening the night were Tears For Fears whose hits include Shout, Mad World, Mother’s Talk, I Believe, Head Over Heels, Woman In Chains, Sowing The Seeds Of Love, and Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

Emerging from Soho’s ultra hip Blitz Club in 1979, Spandau formed at school in North London before becoming the hottest unsigned band on the planet. From underground, fashion and music obsessed working class Londoners, to global superstars, the band set the pace, the styles and the sound of the 1980s. Not only did their albums sell by the millions, but their look and style impacted on the fashion world and beyond. They created their own style, combining creativity with entrepreneurship and the spirit of the youth of the early 80s.

Tears for Fears, made up of duo Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, enjoyed similar success in the 80s when British bands were setting the commercial and cultural bar in regards to pop music. They have sold in excess of 22 million albums worldwide spawning massive the hits Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Shout and Head Over Heels. Roland and Curt split in 1990 after their meteoric rise through the pop charts only to reunite and release a new album in 2004. Since then Tears for Fears have continued to sell out shows throughout the world and maintain their status as one of pop music’s more productive musical collaborations.

Young @ Heart Chorus

SHsssssssh …. did you see the movie YOUNG@HEART???? Here they are – coming to NZ in December. Some you’ll recognise from the movie. Tickets not on sale till mid September, but we were so excited, we just wanted you to know ….. The current performers in Young@Heart range in age from 73 to 89. There are some with prior professional theater or music experience, others who have performed extensively on the amateur level, and some who never stepped onto a stage before turning seventy five. The Chorus have kept alive the spirit of the early pioneers and continue to push the group into glorious new directions. Tickets on sale 20th September.

When Bob Cilman and Judith Sharpe organized the Young@Heart (Y@H) in 1982 all of the members lived in an elderly housing project in Northampton, MA called the Walter Salvo House. The first group included elders who lived through both World Wars. One of their members had fought in the Battle of the Somme as a 16 year old and another, Anna Main, lost her husband in the First World War. Anna was a stand-up comic who at 88 told jokes that only she could get away with.

Now Bob Cilman is bringing this amazing group of over 75 year olds to New Zealand.  In July Tricia and Stewart went to Rochester, NY to meet the group and see them perform to a sell out 2500 crowd.  An amazing performance …..

Playing Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Palmerston North: 6-14 December 2010

TODD RUNDGREN – September 2010

For the first time ever, New Zealand fans will get a taste of Todd Rundgren ‘live’ in September. Tickets now on sale – Auckland through Ticketmaster and Wellington through Ticketek.

For the first time ever, New Zealand fans will get a taste of Todd Rundgren ‘live’ in September. The new CD, not yet released anywhere else in the world, can be purchased only from Stetson Group’s web site.

A musical pioneer, a software innovator, a renowned composer and producer, a conceptual and interactive artist and maybe even a wizard (if the name if of his 1973 solo album is anything to go by), Todd Rundgren has been shifting and shaping the musical and multimedia membrane for almost forty years, and now he brings the live experience of his brand new album Todd Rundgren’s Johnson to Auckland and Wellington in September, for two must-see shows.

Check this link to get a taste of Todd thru the years -

Todd Rundgren Video

Rundgren may not be a household name in this country but his list of album productions will be familiar to any self-respecting music fan: Patti Smith, Meatloaf, Cheap Trick, Hall and Oates, Grand Funk Railroad and Psychedelic Furs, to name but a few. And you will surely recognize some of his own classic hits including Hello It’s Me, I Saw The Light, Can We Still Be Friends, and Bang The Drum.

His latest project is a collection of classic bluesman Robert Johnson numbers, each performed with the Rundgren twist. Reviewers of his American shows have described the experience as reminiscent of late sixties Cream or early Led Zeppelin. Rundgren simply describes the show as “kick ass rock n’ roll”.

Fans can expect about half the show set to be dedicated to Johnson’s material with the remainder of the concert featuring a full noise guided tour through the Rundgren catalogue. Guitar heroes: take note!

Three Dog Night – Cancelled Tour

It is with much regret that promoters Stewart & Tricia Macpherson are cancelling all shows of the forthcoming Three Dog Night New Zealand tour scheduled to start in Rotorua on Friday 13th May.

News of the last two months, both locally and worldwide, rising fuel prices, and even anticipation of the forthcoming budget have affected all.  The nationwide market has shown the availability of the discretionary dollar is tight.

These shows were to be Three Dog Night’s first visit to New Zealand since the seventies. The group was eagerly anticipating returning to these shores and in an interview on Radio New Zealand, singer Danny announced he was planning to arrive earlier to spend time with friends.
While all efforts have been made to retain the dates, it is evident on many levels, that it is currently not possible to make these shows work for all concerned.

VORTEX TRIBE NOVEMBER 2011 TOUR

NOVEMBER 2011.  6 CITY NEW ZEALAND TOUR.

Ask about the student price – only limited numbers available at each venue.

VORTEX TRIBE’s hard-charging fusion of world groove, acid jazz, funk, and rock, moves you.

Deborah Yates stitches kinetic and bewitching flute riffs through Jon Mulvey’s lushly seductive guitar work.

Compelling bass and body-rocking beats drive audiences to dancing while the rapturous agitation of improv jazz gyrates on the backbone of high classical symphonic arrangement.  This band is global, elemental, and essential.  It is music that moves you.

Yates, a gifted flautist, hoped to expand beyond the traditional classical role for her instrument.  She wanted to play music that moved people and the concept of the Tribe was born.

Impossible to pigeonhole, the style is a rich fusion of jazz, rock, funk, classical, dance, and groove music.
