TRANSCRIPT
The Remarkables is an entertaining acoustic bluegrasscountryswing band named after the distinctive
mountain range.
Never heard of that bluegrasscountryswing? Neither had anybody else until they heard this Auckland-
based band. That’s because it’s the only band around creating jazz swing, blues and country with a
smoking’ bluegrass banjo.
Band members Neil Finlay and Peter Parnham are known for the foot tapping blues of Stop and Listen,
while Bryan Christianson is borrowed from awarding winning bluegrass band Wires and Wood.
It all started one Saturday afternoon with a guitar, a banjo, a bass,
three mates. Next thing you know, the afternoon evaporated, the
sun was sinking low and a whole new style of hoppin’ music had
evolved.
So be prepared for a happy surprise when you hear their treat-
ment of familiar tunes and new favourites. Expect anything from
bass slappin’ fast country, to thoughtful ballads and swing banjo,
seasoned with a sprinkling of bluegrass.
And on the practical side, this is a bunch of reliable, experienced and businesslike musicians who will
be on time, provide all the necessary equipment, act professionally, and deliver entertaining sets. Ref-
erences are available from other satisfied events.
