A master of tone and feel, Mark's expressive guitar playing and musical sensitivity have become an integral part of Jackie's sound, both on stage and in the studio. Together, Jackie and Mark deliver an intimate, soulful live show built around exceptional musicianship, heartfelt songs and the joy of musical connection.
Absolut Cr@p, named to set expectations at a level that may well be exceeded, was born out of SARS in Hong Kong in 2003. The line-up has changed over the years. The Bush Hall gig on 1 October will see the one and only leader of the band, Paul "Plops" Carter, joined by original vocalists, Chris "Guinn" Guinness and David "DK" Kidd, recent regulars bassist Taryn "Pretty Cr@p" Hauritz and Nigel "Fingers" Wright on keyboards, and drummer Nick 'the Stick" Hassall in his first Cr@p gig since Hong Kong days, sitting in for Christopher "Rocky" Stonehill. The Cr@p plays an assortment of covers which the band's loyal group of fans keep coming back for. It is a pleasure to be playing in Bush Hall and to be sharing the evening with internationally talented Jackie Bristow with Mark Punch and the local legends Brian. We hope a good time is had by all and that we live up to our critic's choice strapline: "Sometimes they sound quite good!".
