LINN LORKIN QUARTET

Linn Lorkin MNZM is back with a swinging quartet and another treasure-trove of her own originals, sprinkled with the likes of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Cole Porter.

Brought up on a dairy-farm near Tokoroa, Linn has the distinction of being the first woman to play electric piano in New Zealand and of subsequently playing with her own trio at Ronnie Scott’s in London.

She started her prolific songwriting in New York where she resided for eight years making a living in that city's lively piano bar scene.
Linn has been a regular performer at the AJ&BClub and on the 24th November the quartet will consist of:

Linn Lorkin (Piano/vocals)
Steve Sherriff (Tenor sax)
Aaron Coddel –(Bass)
