Dear all friends, family and colleagues,
I am delighted to write to you all, who have in one way or another been
involved in my music-making over the years, to inform you of the release of
my guitar duo's first album and accompanying launch tour.
Matthew Withers and I, collectively the *Brew Guitar Duo*, will be launching
our debut album this *Friday 13 November* in Canberra, and will be touring
across NSW throughout November. Concerts across Australia (and maybe even
Europe) will follow in 2010.
The CD is called *Songs & Dances*, and is a collection of classic Spanish
and Latin American works alongside popular tunes that many of you will
recognize; everything from Manuel de Falla's energetic Dance from *La Vida
Breve*, to the Beatles' *Fool on the Hill*; Ralph McTell's
unforgettable *Streets
of London* to the mesmerizing *Gnossienne No 1* by Erik Satie - the disc has
music that everyone will enjoy.
If you are in the ACT or NSW during November, you can pick up your copy at
one of our concerts (see tour schedule below).
If not, then I invite you to visit our website (http://www.brewguitarduo.com)
and order your copies (and Christmas presents!) online. RRP is $25 (+
postage and handling).
Our website contains all the information about our upcoming concerts. It
also has audio clips, biographical information, and plenty of photos and
videos. We're constantly updating it, so be sure to keep visiting in
future for new material.
Lastly, my sincere thanks to you all for your support over the years. This
album represents 7 years of duo playing, and is the first in what is
intended to be a constant stream of new music for you all. We are proud to
be supported by the Friends of the Australian National University School of
Music, whose generous funding has made the release of this album and the
launch tour possible. Be sure to watch out for our next release, *Landscape*,
in mid-2010, featuring all-new Australian compositions.
Warm regards,
Bradley Kunda
