The year 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic Wellington New Zealand outfit, The Warratahs.
In honour of their enduring legacy, The Warratahs present this 2CD set, which features 19 remastered songs from their back catalogue and a new five track EP. It features the new single “Kupe's Tears”, and a remake of their classic song “Hands of My Heart” (a duet with Caroline Easther). There is even a delightful live performance of a new track entitled “Love Song”.
The landscape of the Warratahs' sound remains centered on Barry Saunders' voice and songs, and Nik Brown's ability to set the music alight with his violin. “It's the music that has always kept the band alive” states front man Barry Saunders. “We are always looking forward and creating new material or reworking old material. If we weren't doing that, there would be no band.”
