ARTIST: Mark Laurent and Brenda Liddiard
Mark and Brenda have been touring NZ, the UK and Australia for 30 years, both solo and as a duo, using music, poetry and humour to talk about "life, the universe, and everything".
Between them they've recorded 20 albums, written hundreds of songs, and their "unplugged" style includes blues, reggae, acoustic rock, ballads and new country. Guitars, mandolin, rowan lute, harmonicas and vocals weave a tapestry of sound and feeling that's both entertaining and moving.
Mark's also published 2 books of poetry, and written articles for New Zealand and international magazines. They've performed numerous times on radio and television.
"... two of New Zealand's finest and most prolific singer/songwriters. .. amazing guitar work .. punchy mandolin .. tongue in cheek humour, plenty of feeling".
- Wellington Folk Festival
"Mark and Brenda are artists who come from the heart. Their music speaks a universal language that seems to touch every audience they play to. The atmosphere they create is intimate, warm, playful and rich with meaning and a wise knowing of shared experience that bathes their audience with a sense of belonging."
- Rex McCann, Author
