THE FIRST TWO CD'S IN A NEW SERIES - THE LAUREATE SERIES - FEATURING BILL MANHIRE & JENNY BORNHOLDT

Publisher - Jayrem Records - $29.95

Bill Manhire once said that "one of the pleasures of hearing poets read their work is the sense of intimacy that isn't always there on the page - we are let into the secrets of tone and feeling that the page can't easily divulge" and I must say I totally agree with him. These two fine CD's are proof of that.

Recorded , mixed and mastered by Robbie Duncan at Braeburn Recording Studio, Wellington.

Available at music stores and some bookshops this week.
