Chris Priestley and the Unsung Heroes

The Arts Junction is excited to present The Unsung Heroes. They are Chris Priestley (guitar and vocals), Cameron Bennett (dobro and vocals), Nigel Gavin (guitar), Sonia Wilson (harmonies) and Peter Elliot (readings, poems and a hint of drama).

The songs they perform are all original and about characters and events from New Zealand history, including some from our neck of the woods.

A slideshow will accompany each song and Peter will read an appropriate newspaper article – and the occasional poem – to introduce each song.

Described as ‘The most entertaining New Zealand history lesson you’re likely to encounter’ by Marty Duda, and Felicity Molloy said, “This show, if it is active in displaying a literary and literal inheritance, deserves much greater exposure, even more so now, as we bravely ride the pandemic wave.”

The Unsung Heroes self-titled CD was a Tui Folk

Awards Finalist and the band has many more original songs they have performed in festivals around New Zealand. Don’t miss this unique opportunity!
