Take your pick on which one’s High, Wide and Handsome but one thing’s for sure – these guys are entertaining, with Lew Black’s powerful voice, Andrew Gough’s intricate guitar work and John McKeown’s smooth harmonica playing, together with their combined harmonies. All three are multi-instrumentalists with a long involvement in the folk music scene.
Raised near the Liverpool docks, Lew has performed solo at various clubs, guested at the Auckland and Hamilton Folk Festivals, played Irish music in ‘Paddy Mac,’ and performed, internationally and locally, shanties with the Maritime Crew.
He and Andrew have collaborated previously in groups ‘Brouhaha’ and ‘High Wide & Handsome v1.’ Andrew has also performed in Honiara, Solomon Islands, and Fiji, and has the odd habit of hanging out with the Bethells Beach Firecrew band.
John’s involvement goes way back to his upbringing in Stoke, his time in Wales and, after emigrating here, he played trad with ‘Morgan Magan’ in the Kapiti Coast in the ‘80’s and since then with various line-ups down country and now in Auckland. He helps run ‘Friday Folk’ at Titirangi and enjoys having fun with the guys in HW&H.
High & Wide & Handsome will entertain you with their collection of eclectic songs with some humour thrown into the mix.
