Warkworth Music unleashes The Troubles for jazz fans

Warkworth Music will round off its concert season for 2019 with a performance by jazz band The Troubles.

The Troubles were formed by drummer and composer John Rae and feature some of New Zealand’s most accomplished jazz musicians.

They are Tristan Carter, violin, Hannah Fraser, violin, Megan Ward, viola, Charles Davenport, cello, Ben Wilcock, piano, Dan Yeabsley, saxophone, and Patrick Bleakley on acoustic bass.

Before coming to New Zealand in 2005, Scottish-born John Rae was an award-winning band leader and a regularly commissioned composer.

Since then he has developed and honed The Troubles “quasi-anarchistic” brand of music over a long residency in Wellington.

The Troubles will play at the Warkworth Town Hall on Sunday, October 19 at 7pm. Tickets are $35 at the door and school students are free. A cash bar is available.
