Liddiard & Louise

What a way for us to start 2021! Rafters welcome Martha Louise and Brenda Liddiard in a pre-Auckland Folk Festival appearance. These award-winning singer/songwriters have been friends for many years and more recently have begun to perform as a duo providing instrumentation and vocal harmonies to each other's songs.

Martha plays guitar, dulcimer and rhythm mandolin, Brenda lead mandolin and guitar. Their songs are from the heart, capturing their past experiences and their passions and mixing Martha’s American and Brenda’s English influences, to produce an engaging and delightful musical experience - one not to be missed!
