19-Jul-092.00 – 2.45pm: Harriet and the MatchesHarriet and the Matches, a.k.a, long-time musical companions Amiria Grenell and Jessie Moss, have an energetic and original style. Often described as clever mix of ballad, contemporary folk, reggae and soul inspired songs; they are refreshingly new yet comforting and familiar. Harriet and the Matches place a strong emphasis on tight vocal harmonies and driving rhythms pounded out with a traditional Irish Bodhran. Harriet and the Matches released their debut album Wandering Paths in 2008 and their e.p Ata Takahi in 2005. Harriet and the Matches use music as their tool for change, speaking of social and environmental justice in song. 3.15 – 4.00pm The O’ConnorsSean and Amanda O'Connor sing beautiful original songs with harmonies "beyond divine", fine guitar and flute and a powerful spiritual connection with the music and each other that is conveyed to the audience. Their eclectic style weaves folk, acoustic rock, Celtic and Maori influences together into a truly unique mixture. The O'Connors have fifteen years experience in New Zealand and overseas and have recorded eight albums. 26-Jul-092.00 – 2.45pm Marcus TurnerMarcus Turner is well known to folk music enthusiasts in New Zealand, having performed at many of the major folk festivals as a solo artist, or as a member of "The Chaps". In solo performance, he's a kind of troubadour, singing a variety of songs that range from funny to deeply moving. The mixture includes traditional songs from many countries but focuses on songs from New Zealand: particularly those he has written.
3.15 – 4.00pm Rob Joass and Jo MoirRob Joass (guitar and vocals) and Jo Moir (fiddle and vocals) have been performing together for nearly 15 years, and during that time have traveled far and wide, performing at cafés, folk clubs, bars and festivals all over the world. They recently released their 4th CD, the Fortune Horses, with their band The Hobnail Boots. Hailed as the best of their career, it was also a finalist for Best Folk Album at the 2008 Tui New Zealand Music Awards.
