SUMMARY:Mark & Brenda\, Music at Midday @ Pah Homestead
DESCRIPTION:For three decades Mark Laurent and Brenda Liddiard have been performing together – ‘indie’ musicians who fly just below the commercial radar\, playing grass-roots\, mostly un-plugged music throughout New Zealand\, Australia and the UK. \nMark plays the blues like his life depends on it! His guitar is just about as expressive as his vocals and confirms the guitar hero status that he earned several decades ago when his professional music career kicked off in the 1970’s. \nBrenda Liddiard has a voice born of folk\, protest and alt country sentiments. Brenda has been influenced by English and American acoustic music and found her niche as a songwriter during her involvement with environmental and anti-nuclear issues in the 70’s and 80’s. Her album\, Box of Memories\, was a finalist in the 2013 Tui Awards for Best Folk Album. Mark and Brenda present an eclectic mix of material that can be ‘pin drop’ delicate\, or sound like a full band! They sometimes pepper their sets with short bursts of poetry and stories of a road well traveled.
