Welcome back everyone!
This year's concerts begin Friday 3 March with SUE BROWN
& THE MARSHALLS and John Curtis on bass guitar.

With her soulful voice Sue Brown has been in the music scene in Taupō for many years. Recently she performed at Taranaki Jazz Club and featured as a guest at Art Deco Events 2022.
Her first performance for the Midday Concert Series was in 2021.
This year she will be supported by The Marshalls (Peter on tenor sax & Chev Fraser on keyboard), a Taupō combo known for their standards, but with Sue's smooth vocals, any catchy tune or haunting melody is possible. John Curtis will assist the trio on bass guitar guaranteeing a great job.
