Chris has r ecorded eight albums, three of which were Tui Folk Music Award Finalists. Rogues, rebels and folk heroes, and a truly valuable exercise, bringing all this history together in music.Ĭhris Priestley: Singer, songwriter and NZ historian. You won’t believe your ears – or the incredible stories contained herein.
This is a fascinating musical concept, based on actual people and events that occurred in our colonial history. Storyteller Cameron Bennett (vocals, dobro guitar), with musicians Chris Priestley (vocals, guitar), and Nigel Gavin (7 string guitar) have created a show that brings to life some of the unsung and unusual characters of our past. A slideshow of historic images accompanies each original song. Te lling stories from Aotearoa New Zealand’s history in song, with newspaper clippings and poems read aloud by actor Peter Elliott (narrator and compare). The four members performing at Whittakers Musical Museum are all keen historians, well known musicians or storytellers and award winning actors who have taken Unsung Heroes to enthusiastic audiences across the country. There are truely merits in every performance these boys did! This show touched someone's heart and soul and it changed their life.The Unsung Heroes is a show like none other. The recording over all is quite passible and enjoyable. very minor flaws, in my prideful opinion they deter from the show in no way.
Dig? or if i have imbided in certain tornado juices.Īny way back to the show. also have you ever really gotten into the flaws of a recording? I know all these recordings (even studio ones) sound like they have flaws if i stop time while i'm listening to them. They are rather, a beautiful mark in time and memory. These recordings are not studio production recordings to be marketed and sold to a critical public. What I don't like is the idea that noone could possibly enjoy this show because you didn't like the click noise you heard 3 minutes into whatever you are listening to. I even value the timely eruptions of blah blah blah the spew forth from your reviews Mr. I think this recording is wonderful, and i agree that all the flaws mentioned by Ron "the geyser" Keyser are present. I do not enjoy being annoyed by anything including overly critical, opinionated, egocentric reviews. Okay I put up with a lot of opinionated doodoo from you Ron but now you are affecting the experiences of many other users other than meself. It just goes to show what kind of pain the human spirit can endure. His entire family was murdered right before his eyes.
Many years later I befriended a man from Cambodia who lived through the nightmare that befell his country. Surely was appreciative that night and in subsequent nights to come - for many reasons. Nonetheless, brevity often makes us appreciate things more, I guess. Their sets were both way too truncated due to the constraints of time. There are also little sound jerks and fits, but overall, the sound is fine.Īlso on the bill of faire that evening was the Jefferson Starship and the Beach Boys and although I don't recall a thing about their sets, they were both excellent. I say that because the bass is super boomy, but it is not oppressive. Jerry's guitar had that squawky tone to it that I especially adore.

Imagine spending 4 months in intensive care.Īlso significant, since this show is only an hour and a half, the GD were full of piss and vinegar and really kicked ass that night in Oakland. We were partying and celebrating his return to normal life. This show is particularly poignant because it was the first show back into circulation for my good buddy Steve after making a miraculous recovery from a near fatal brain aneurysm which he suffered and endured over much of 1979.
