Renowned New Zealand musician and Hawke's Bay native Paul Carnegie-Jones will perform in Hastings in a "toe-tapping" concert next Thursday.
He is joining 3 Mad Fiddlers and the Odd Singer! - a touring concert of brilliant fiddlers and singers who promise "infectious energy" in a show full of variety.
Award-winning fiddlers Marian Burns, Vanessa Harvey and Michaela Roy will be joined by singers Susan Boland and John Cameron to perform well-loved melodies, including When the Red Red Robin, Pack Up Your Troubles and She'll be Coming Round the Mountain.
John and Susan are a husband-and-wife team who founded Operatunity, a leading arts company providing concerts and events throughout New Zealand.
Carnegie-Jones' performances have taken him throughout New Zealand but his most recent local role was as musical director for the Napier Operatic Society's production of Evita.
