I sit on a drum box, play guitar, harmonica, flute, kick a shaker with one foot and a tambourine with the other and sing. And they say men can't multi task...?

Unpretentious and infectious like a cheeky grin, James' and Alea's ambient melodies would be as comfortable at the beach as in a dimly lit bar with lyrics which speak of long afternoons and longer nights spent in both places...

John Hert plays classical guitar at weddings and special functions, arrangements of many popular songs and classical pieces. He has a battery operated amp good for four hours or more for outdoor performance, and which allows iPods/MP3 players to play through. He can provide microphone access for celebrants also. At Café/Restaurants his music is ideal dining background music with songs from Simon & Garfunkel, Dylan, Cohen, James Taylor, Carole King, Mark Knopfler and the like.

This band is one of the local acts (from the northern Coromandel) that has played and performed together since 1986.  The line-up has changed over the years, but the original core members are still jamming it. Most of the songs performed recently have been composed by guitarist and singer John Veysey, whose song writing skills are one of our hidden talents. The performance style is relaxed and low-key and  often has  visiting performers in the mix.
