Pacific Curls– AOTNZ New Zealand Tour February
2011
Acclaimed Pacifika group, Pacific
Curls tour the country in February. The unique combination
of Scottish fiddle, Taonga Puoro (traditional Maori
instruments) ukulele, guitar, kalimba, percussion and vocals
have captivated audiences wherever they have played –
including Australia, United Kingdom, Europe and Korea as
well as New Zealand. Last year they played Womad Taranaki
and the Winter Games in Vancouver. This year they will
perform at Womad UK and the London Festival.
With a new
CD out, Pacific Curls are back by demand.
The group,
featuring world class fiddle player, Sarah Beattie, virtuoso
ukulele player Kim Halliday, and stunning vocalist Ora
Barlow, say that their unconventional collaboration comes
out of a reverence for each other’s cultures.
“We
explore the places where we cross over,” says Halliday.
Singer songwriter Dave Alley joins the group on their
AOTNZ NEW Zealand tour.
