What you should know about UKULELE LESSONS AND GUITAR TUITION
Public musical life for Marion began in the Folk scene in the 60's, when she discovered folk classical guitar. She soon began songwriting and performing, becoming the darling of Tauranga's social elite, appearing at clubs and private concerts in houses of the city's wealthy set. Marion joined Robbie's Rock'n' Roll revival ensemble The 1953 Memorial Society Rock'n' Roll Band. P started a successful, eclectic, original rock band. Both Marion and Robbie were influenced by the many music styles to be heard in Europe at the time.
She performed at festivals and returned to Australia briefly as guest of the Perth Folk festival. Jazz Vocalist in Auckland. For 10 years Marion was the resident female vocalist with Auckland retro big band The 1932 Jazz Orchestra , later Tuxedo Swing , employing her great sense of style and performance. Music in The Bay Of Plenty.
The Bay of Plenty, her home, began to call, and in 1994 Marion settled in Tauranga. However the call of the professional musician is not easy to ignore and she goes on to create some interesting performing concepts. After this, Trevor and Marion could be heard briefly in Magnifique , a sophisticated band doing continental flavoured material, inspired by Piaf and Dietrich. A CD was made of Marion performing live at the Tauranga Jazz Festival with the band, with another talented guest, Will Sargeson on piano.
Many of the vocals were sung in French, including interpretations of material by Edith Piaf, and Jacques Breland other French classics. In 2011 Marion ventured out at the National Jazz Festival with a new line up, Marion Arts With Prisoners Of The Sun herself on acoustic guitar and vocals, 2 percussionists from Brazil, Jeronimo on cahon pandeiro and Carlos Souza on congas, small percussion and vocals, adding Robbie on fretless bass and Oscar on flugelhorn soprano sax. They were seen regularly around the traps in Tauranga and the Mount in concerts and cafes. Recently Marion has been playing SOLO , having developed a guitar style of composition and performance rarely seen in women guitarists which is complex, developed and exciting, reflecting her varied influences classical jazz rock and folk
