They’ve torn up the bible, they’ve eaten the dogs – Auckland-based alt-folk act Bond Street Bridge continue a wildly successful run with their multimedia folk-singing spoken-word storytelling. Using original folk songs, heritage images and haunting new illustrations to tell the extraordinary tales of Captain Scott, Ernest Shackleton and the Heroic Age Of Antarctic Exploration, the band have been packing houses, mesmerising audiences and garnering rave reviews all over NZ for the past 18 months. Songwriter Sam Prebble used the original diaries and letters of the explorers themselves to produce a song cycle that evokes the spirit of these brave adventurers and recalls their triumphs, hardships, failures and true Edwardian grit. Join Bond Street Bridge as they celebrate the pluck and courage of the early titans of high latitudes, the endurance and the stiff upper lips of the pioneers of Antarctic adventure.
