Hear Them Roar – Kiwi music royalty to play at Auckland Zoo

21 January 2016

They’re all legends in their own right; but sharing the same stage for just one night only, they’re one of the most powerful forces in New Zealand music.

Hear Them Roar brings together Sharon O’Neill, Shona Laing, Margaret Urlich, Annie Crummer and Debbie Harwood on Saturday, February 27, as part of the Auckland Zoo series.

Needing no introduction, all five artists dominated the airwaves throughout the 70s, 80s and early 90s and inspired new generations of female Kiwi singer-songwriters.

Individually they boast impressive back catalogues with some of the country’s most iconic tunes, from O’Neill’sMaxine, to Laing’s (Glad I’m) Not A Kennedy, Urlich’s Escaping and Crummer’s See What Love Can Do.

And who could forget Urlich, Crummer and Harwood’s chart-topping When The Cats Away success with Melting Pot, Crummer’s powerful vocals on the Netherworld Dancing Toys hit For Today and Urlich’s smash song with Peking Man, Room That Echoes.

Not only does Hear Them Roar promise to be a night of celebration and nostalgia, it’s also guaranteed to be filled with laughs, with well-known Kiwi comedian Michele A’Court hosting the event.
