Both Mark and Brenda have worked as professional musicians for over 30 years, and have brought their unique brand of songwriting and performance to all parts of New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. Locally they are well known and highly regarded within the club and house concert scenes.

Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a picnic and a rug, and make an evening of it.
