Songbroker welcomes Ceol Manawatu

Songbroker Music Publishing is very pleased to welcome the songs of Ceol Manawatu to the catalog.

Ceol Manawatu is a collective of musicians focused on performing and recording original compositions connected to the Manawatu region of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Ceol is the Gaelic word for music, with strong Scottish/Celtic influences underpinning many of the pieces and bagpipes featuring prominently.

Multi-instrumentalist Paul Turner has led Ceol Manawatu since 2002. He has decades long experience in the industry, winning a Tui in 1997 for Folk Album of the year for ‘Betwixt Time and Place’ with the band Wild Geese. In 2006, Ceol Manawatu released a four-track eponymously titled EP that has since been followed by three full length albums: ‘Fine’, ‘MHOR’, and ‘TILL’.

Independent Music NZ have just announced this year’s recipient of the prestigious Classic Record. Look Blue Go Purple’s Compilation, released in 1991 via Flying Nun Records, takes out this year’s prize. Look Blue Go Purple played a pivotal role in the second wave of the pioneering indie rock movement known as the “Dunedin Sound”. In the overwhelmingly male-dominated Dunedin scene and wider indie music landscape, this all-female group stood out. Whilst the quintet certainly had the distinctive jangly, gently psychedelic, lo-fi Flying Nun sound, the combined vocals of Roughan, Webster and O’Malley created a synthesis that further set them apart. The Classic Record prize will be presented to Look Blue Go Purple as part of the 2024 Taite Music Prize celebration at Tāmaki Makaurau’s Q Theatre on Tuesday 23rd April. #lookbluegopurple #dunedinsound #flyingnunrecords #imnz #classicrecord #nzmusic #compilation #songbrokermusicpublishing
