Michael Scorey Friday 26th 9pm
Michael Scorey has just landed in London from his homeland, New Zealand with his guitar and a fantastic set of songs from his latest CD ” Levonia”
Do not miss this opportunity to sample one of the finest singer/songwriters in the Southern Hemisphere. Michael has opened for some of the biggest rock stars notably Rod Stewart at The Mission Festival in 2005 in front of 30,000 people. He supported Joe Cocker for all three nights at the 3,000 capacity Civic Theatre in Auckland .
In his earlier days as part of NZ band The Innocent he toured with INXS, Echo & The Bunnymen, Elvis Costello and Warren Zevon.
He has released two albums; the first “Angel Station” was nominated as a finalist in 1997’s New Zealand ‘s National Music Awards. His second album “Levonia” was recorded practically in one straight live take and has been getting rave reviews.
“He’s stunning. Our very own answer to Bob Dylan some say…the room falls silent…” THE NEW ZEALAND SUNDAY STAR 2006
“Lyrically speaking he has a poet’s ear and , one suspects, heart; whether he’s wielding his Telecaster in ska-style nods to post-punk or adopting quieter acoustic moments…” PREVIEW MAGAZINE 2005
“ The CD Angel Station was a finalist in the New Zealand Music Awards and achieved cult status for him. With it’s emphasis on acoustic guitar and violin used sparingly around Scorey’s husky impassioned voice. It pretty much defined his Celtic-flavoured folk-rock sound and has been compared, not unflatteringly, with those fine Irish practitioners The Waterboys…” NZ NEWS 2003
