Subtle, subversive, satirical swing – Andrew London Trio tour – October 2017
Audiences loved Andrew London’s lyrics and laid-back singing along with ever so smoothie Nils Olsen’s sax and clarinet
solos when they toured previously with Hot Club Sandwich.
Now in the Sandwich tradition they’re joined by Andrew’s wife Kirsten on bass to pronounce on the minutiae of middle
class, middle aged, Middle Earth concerns, delivered in a deceptively innocuous 1940s swing style.
Over 20 years of touring has enabled songwriter London to gather material from the shearing sheds of Southland to the
boardrooms of Auckland, leaving him free to pronounce on pretentious socialites, modern parenthood, male insecurities,
the Internet, and much much more.
Expect intermittent forays into folk, blues, country and hip hop - plus poignancy and pathos from the Beatle-esque
harmonies provided by Kirsten and Nils.

Arts On Tour NZ (AOTNZ) organises tours of outstanding New Zealand performers to rural and smaller centres in New Zealand. The trust
receives funding from Creative New Zealand, support from Interislander, and liaises with local arts councils, repertory
theatres and community groups to bring the best of musical and theatrical talent to country districts. The AOTNZ
programme is environmentally sustainable – artists travel to their audiences rather than the reverse. (ends)
