Let the tour begin: Beyondsemble national tour 1-30 November

Let the tour begin – Beyondsemble national tour 1 - 30 November

An insatiable love of making music – and audiences’ love of Beyondsemble - has led to another national tour for these masterly musicians.

On the road from 1 November, Craig Denham, Jon Sanders, John Ellis and newcomer Darryn Sigley will play Beyondsemble’s signature mix of original and improvised music, merging Celtic, Latin, Jazz and Gypsy rhythm with their own creativity. These musicians love what they do – and it’s infectious!

Beyondsemble has toured the country every year since its inception in 2009, its members have frequently performed in Europe and the whole band takes on a three month European tour in 2014. Europeans love Beyondsemble too!

Performing as the official pre-show band at for the Wearable Arts Awards in Wellington in 2010, Beyondsemble went on to launch a debut album to excellent reviews in 2011 and won the ‘people’s choice’ competition to perform at the 2013 WOMAD NZ festival, launching their second album there.

Band members are:

Craig Denham – Accordion, Piano, Whistles and Vocals
Jon Sanders – Guitar, Bouzouki, Ukulele, Vocals
Darryn Sigley – Percussion
John Ellis – Bass Clarinet, Saxophones, Vocals

About Arts On Tour New Zealand
Arts On Tour New Zealand (AOTNZ) organises tours of outstanding New Zealand performers to rural and smaller centres in New Zealand. The trust receives funding from Creative New Zealand and liaises with local arts councils, repertory theatres and community groups to bring the best of musical and other talent to country districts. The AOTNZ programme is environmentally sustainable – artists travel to audiences, rather than rural dwellers clocking up kilometres travelling to the big towns. www.aotnz.co.nz
