Chris Priestley & The Unsung Heroes bring together the talents of well-known actors, performers, musicians and journalists in a fascinating musical concept filled with rogues, rebels and folk heroes.
They regale us with stories from Aotearoa's history in the form of theatre, music and song - including the tale of *Darling Jennie* A Magicienne from Thames and her troupe.
A photographic slideshow of historic images as accompaniment, with, gorgeously evocative music and words, and Elliott’s old-style radio diction, sharp timing, and dry humour all predictive of ways we have come to see ourselves. Joining Chris Priestley are Cameron Bennett, Nigel Gavin, Peter Elliott and Sonia Wilson.
“Chris has written some beautiful melodies and he has a wonderful, simple, direct singing style. He has surrounded himself with some of Auckland’s finest players. The end result is the most entertaining New Zealand history lesson you’re likely to encounter this (or any) year.”
— Marty Duda. The 13th Floor
Cameron Bennett also has some stories to tell including the Ghost of the Vulcan hotel and with Peter Elliott adding readings from newspaper clippings and the odd poem,Nigel Gavin guitarist extraordinaire and Sonia;s beautiful harmonies this will be a night to remember.
