Captain Festus McBoyle's Travellin' Variety Show - Captain Festus McBoyle and His Motley Crew - Single Review: The Little Things
I first came across Captain Festus McBoyle when he appeared
on a television show performing a track Cheeky Little Monkey. Having enjoyed
that track immensely, I had a little hunt and came across many other tracks from
this hugely talented man. Since then he has released two pirate themed albums
and this is his newest song, titled The Little Things.
The Little Things is a feel-good ditty that really is a
magical song. Musically it has his traditional pirate sound and lyrically it’s
one of those songs that will stick in your mind. It has a message
that is needed now more than ever. The Little Things reminds us how we need
to look back and take stock of the things that count and matter and more often
than not they are the little things.
Captain Festus McBoyle is the full package in the sense that
he dresses as a pirate and travels the country entertaining children and adults
wherever he goes. He is what you would describe as an old school artist with
his songs being stories with plenty of humour that will keep you giggling and
smiling. I would encourage you to hunt down his previous albums and get along
to one of his shows you’re never too old to be enthralled by a master
entertainer.

Whatever came out of the pandemic, it stranded some amazing talent here long enough for them to enrich our musical world. Down into the Lopdell labyrinth, a buzz of age-spanning expectancy waited for two of these: Maggie Cocco and her accompanist for the tour Bonnie Schwarz who would add much more than just ‘sad cello’ to tonight’s epic cycle of piano songs.

Eve Kelly @ Jam Factory, Tauranga - 03/03/2023
08 Mar 2023 // by Shade
The ‘Sold Out’ sign is a good sign and it went up several days before Eve Kelly’s first show at The Jam Factory in Tauranga’s Historic Village. Whakatane-based Eve Kelly is a star on-the-rise and she put on a show that left her audience, old and new, elated and begging for more.

Coridian - Single Review: Seed II
21 Oct 2020 // by Shade
There's an implicit line in Rock music between the head-banging craze that makes you want to raid the mosh pit, and the refined preciseness of a subtle yet powerful tune. Very few bands can master both.
