This was the third evening of song (June
19) presented by Rhumbelow to be held at the Berea Bowling Club and although
there was a small audience, they were highly appreciative of the wonderful
evening of music performed by Mark Hunt/ Auburn Sound.
This is “easy-to-listen-to” music with many
original arrangements and interesting interpretations. Mark is a musician who
is very comfortable with his work. Unpretentious and relaxed, one gets the
strong feeling that Mark is sharing his love of music, not performing for an
audience. This was reinforced by the short but interesting preamble for every
song - little titbits of information - that gave us perspective and background
which just made the song that much more meaningful. And the subtle, humorous
quips thrown in as tasty treats were just great! Lady in Red was particularly well received and his follow up of Lady in Bed got a hearty round of
applause!
What a pleasure to listen to a singer whose
words are clear and understandable! We could hear every word! Mark has an
amazing vocal range and is comfortable with melodies ranging from soprano to
bass – what a talent! His original
composition of Patti Wore a Diamond
was a treat – we need more originals of this calibre.
The ambiance of the venue may be lacking,
but the music created a comfortable, pleasant mood which was enjoyed by all.
The Club offers bowling from 16h00 to 18h00
on a Monday and they will provide all you need – just wear flat shoes and join
in. There is a well-priced bar and a simple meal available.
Thanks, Roland, for providing yet another
Rhumbelow venue and for featuring
artists like Auburn Sound/ Mark Hunt .- Dawn Haynes, Livewire
