Music News - 'Play On - The Album' Boosted Campaign
15 April 2016 - 0 Comments
On Sunday April 3rd, PLAY ON took the stage for a one-off show at Auckland's Pop-up Globe Theatre. The sold-out show was nothing short of magical, and presented 14 of Shakespeare's most well-loved soliloquies as songs, with a world-class local cast for the first time ever.
This is the first crowd funding campaign that LOOPor any of our associated acts have embarked on, and with good reason. This one-of-a-kind project is truly a gift to the arts, and donations will help keep the magic alive. Check out the BOOSTED campaign HERE.
On the night, Paul McLaney enlisted the help of high profile actors and musicians including Maisey Rika, Julia Deans, Esther Stephens, Laughton Kora, Cameron Rhodes, Mara TK, Richie Pickard (double bass), Andrew Keegan(drums), Jessica Hindin (violin), Mahuia Bridgeman-Cooper (violin) and Rachel Wells (cello). The cast and band will be the same for the album.
Achieving our target will enable us to professionally record all 14 original songs from PLAY ON and create an album. If we surpass our goal all additional funds raised will be used to start the creation of an accompanying educational tool to promote Shakespeare in schools.
Listen to the background documentary on Radio NZ, and check out a live clip from the show here.
Head to BOOSTED for all the info and to donate. A huge thanks to the team at Boosted and The Arts Foundation.
