Peter Long, local Blue Mountains singer and songwriter, accomplished multi-instrumentalist and performing member of the infamous Spooky Mens Chorale, will be performing once again at the Nolan On Lovel Gallery on March 20, 2010 after last years successful performance. Peter's first solo album, Midday Sun, was warmly received in the Blue Mountains and Sydney music press and the song Melody's Fate took out the best alternative music award at the 2007 Blue Mountains Music Awards.

Peter's music is one of broad soundscapes and sonic vistas, taking in influences stretching from 1960's pop and psychedelia through to jazz, latin rhythms and electronica, with songs delving into themes of love and lust, scorched wastelands and the fever of an Australian summer. His sound has been described variously as combining elements of David Bowie, the Beatles and Radiohead and has been compared to Jon Auer from the Posies and Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze fame.

Peter will be accompanied on the evening by local talented guitarist Steve Waters.

Alturas was formed three years ago by musicians from the Blue Mountains who share a love for the energy and passion of Argentinean Tango. The group has an exciting and unique lineup and repertoire. For this very special concert, Alturas performers will be Gaye Thomas (flute), Rosalind Horton (violin), Ann Palumbo (guitar), Jane Andino (piano)and Paul Laszlo (double bass). All are well-known musicians in Latin, Jazz and Classical styles. Alturas have performed at many venues including The Carrington, Rose Bay RSL club, Sydney Olympic park, and more recently at the Argentinean Embassy in Canberra, where they provided music for the Argentine National day celebrations.

This well loved tango group performs a variety of traditional and modern tangos, milongas and valses. Lovers of Latin, classical and jazz music will be delighted with their fresh sound and unique style.
