Next Thursday we have the Glyn MacDonald Quartet on the Space Academy stage.
Originally from Perth, Glyn has made Christchurch his home and has brought his stunning originals with him.
"Glyn serves it up. He isn’t into just playing chords and devices but rather describing things with music, describing specific feelings or abstract concepts. He has a vision and his music will take you there if you allow it."
– Barney Mcall
"His melodies refuse to follow predictable routes, and his harmonies twist away from sugariness." – Peter J Casey, Canberra Times
Joining Glyn are:
Jono Blackie – Drums
Luke Belcher – Bass
James Lawton – Tenor Saxophone
Tickets $15/$20 plus booking fee from Humanitix.
