Continuing our tradition of holding small intimate concerts at Riad Zany we are happy to announce that this year we will not only have traditional Moroccan performers - but also music from other traditions. There are negotiations going on with a Celtic folk trio and we can announce that one of Australia's top singer songwriters and guitarists, Bernard Carney, will give a concert in May (date still to be fixed).
“Bernard Carney is a great all-round musician in the tradition of the folk troubadour. He has a unique talent as songwriter, guitarist and singer all peppered with passion and humour”Port Fairy Festival Director Jamie McKew when presenting Bernard with the prestigious Artist of the Year award at Port Fairy Festival 2003
“Songs of love and memory are bittersweet explorations of human emotion sung with a kind of melodic elegance that is the hall mark of a good song.”
Ron Banks West Australian 2003
“His immaculate ragtime based finger picking has got smoother and swingier; the voice has rounded and matured like a well kept cab sav and his musical vocabulary has expanded without ever getting detached from its roots... Bernard has become a major influence on guitarists and songwriters around Australia.”
Fairbridge festival Director Steve Barnes 2003 .
Stay tuned for further announcements.

Any truth to the story going around in Fez that Cloudstreet will also play at Riad Zany?
