The Urban Angels will be doing their bit for May Music Month with a set of all original material at the Sarjeant Gallery in Taupo Quay on May 23.
Alongside the more well-known songs such as Angel of Mercy, The Man in the Moon and Don't Surrender, the setlist will have new songs written over the past few months.
The Urban Angels are Terry Sarten, guitar and vocals, and John Scudder on double bass.
The name came about during the first rehearsals when it became apparent that at least four of the songs mentioned angels in some form or other.
Sinners and Saints, for example, describes an attempt to persuade an angel to come out of heaven and go dancing – with mixed results. Another song follows the Angel Gabriel walking the streets, observing life and lamenting that Even Angels Get the Blues.
