- **Event Description**: “Make no mistake, the audience raved about the sheer scope of musical interplay and different genres… Sanders with his jazz tinged Irish, Arabesque and world music solos, brought the sonorous experience of compositions from the British song-writer’s new album with almost unbelievable changes in tempo, accompanied masterfully by Seel’s impressive guitar… The audience loved Seel’s folk, pop and blues influenced songs and duos with Sanders”
- RheinZeit, Germany

Music has led Alex Seel from Devon to London to Ireland and back to London again. Through his wanderings, Alex has picked up a finely crafted, rootsy songwriting style with thought provoking lyrics and a flare for acoustic guitar finger picking. His influences range from blues, pop and the British folk revival guitarists, but his sound is all his own. He has a growing reputation as a solo performer, having performed around the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Spain.

Jon Sanders is recognised as a virtuoso bouzouki player, tenor ukulele player, drop D and DADGAD guitarist and an internationally acclaimed composer. His compositions draw on elements of jazz, gypsy, funk, Arabic, Latino and Celtic styles, somewhat reminiscent of Sylvain Luc, Pierre Bensusan, Antonio Forcione and James Hill - yet instantly different.

Both were based in Dingle in Kerry, but in different scenes. But only later on started playing in the UK first at the Didsbury Festival, then did couple of other festivals and it went down really well… the chemistry of the duo, complementing each other with symbiotic dynamism, with sensitivity in each others music. Both are long time professional musicians. Jon has been performing in NZ for 20 years, however this is Alex’es first time in NZ.
