Fancy a night of great tunes, toe-tapping rhythms and a traditional Celtic celebration? Award-winning musician and composer John Rae and his Celtic Roots Band are set to perform at the Motueka Chanel Arts Centre, blending the music of his Scottish heritage with the energy and improvisation of contemporary jazz.
The Motueka Music Group has partnered with Chamber Music New Zealand to bring the unique fusion of genres to the venue. Audiences can expect a lively mix of traditional favourites, beautiful ballads and John’s original compositions, alongside acoustic renditions of classics such as Banks and Braes by Robert Burns.
The song was named Track of the Year by RNZ Concert presenter Nick Tipping.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of Celtic music, a jazz enthusiast, or simply looking for a memorable night out, the concert promises music filled with heart, soul and Scottish charm.
