Diversity in Wairarapa Music
Hi everybody,
Tonight on Rewind Push Play we featured local songwriters recorded music. Featured artists tonight were: Bob McGuigan, Bill Borman, Barry Smith, David Christopher, Christine Williams, Larry Manson, John Mabey and Barry Saunders.
What a diverse musical community we have in the Wairarapa, from country through to rock, funk, blues and punk. We need a venue to showcase this talent and get local music lovers behind us. Any ideas?
About Us idiosyncrasy
idiosyncrasy was formed in 1989 by DJ Christopher and Christine Williams as an outlet for the original songs they were writing. These songs came out of jams and practices rather than sitting down and deliberately writing them. To date they have penned 236 songs which are all registered with APRA. Christine and David are both members of APRA and AMCOS. They regularly enter songs in APRAs Silver Scroll awards, which is the top songwriting competition in New Zealand, held annually. They continue to write, record and perform and with songs being played on Australian television, gives them the impetus to continue.
Influences:
The Beatles, The Rolling stones, Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, ZZ Top, Steppenwolf, Allen Parsons project, The Kinks, Bad Finger, Bad Company, just to name a few...
