This month at Foco Nuevo

Little Secrets formed in early 2004. The members, Rob Stewart, Tony Mockeridge and Michael Tully had just completed recording their album, Life Gets Better, and after nearly a year in the studio had a strong desire to continue writing, recording and performing their own music. The band's music swings between folk/rock, blues and country and covers topics as diverse as teenage angst, cricket and love. They are driven by a desire to create music that has an emotional and cultural resonance to reach out engage the audience.
Ann Bermingham and Helen Rowe: Ann and Helen first worked together in the 6 member women’s band, Tangled Web, in the mid 1990s. Since then, they’ve continued to develop their musical connection over countless Friday mornings and cups of tea. Helen performs with Irish band, Murphy’s Pigs, and Ann is a member of the Bulgarian music group Zhiva Voda. However, as a duo, Helen and Ann focus mostly on their original material, interweaving voices and instruments to create an intimate musical journey.
Jumping Fences: the song-writing partnership of Lachlan Hurse and Sue Monk, will be playing their energetic folk, tinged with Cuban flavours. They will be accompanied by Robbie Stewart (lead guitar), Ross Gwyther (tenor sax and clarinet) Dan Simpson (drums) and James Harper (percussion) along with special guest Leonor Orellana. Their songs extend the folk tradition, and give new insights into the breadth of contemporary life. [website]
