Fly My Pretties IV Live Album is out now on CD/DVD and Digital!

IV is Eva’s second Fly My Pretties live album release, which saw her return to New Zealand in October 2011 to tour with the 16-strong cast who united with an exciting new concept, re-inspired style and re-invigorated sound.

Via a unique collaboration, renowned visual/street artist Flox found inspiration in each song to create 16 original and dedicated pieces of art. A unifying thread throughout the show, the artworks were brought to life through projection, animation and visual trickery. These visuals have been uniquely mixed with the live video to create an amazing DVD.

The Fly My Pretties IV cast was the most diverse yet and featured an impressive selection of kiwi talent including original members Barnaby Weir, Mike Fabulous, Jarney Murphy and Age Pryor, as well as Fran Kora, Anna Coddington, Flip Grater, L.A. Mitchell, Aaron Tokona, Ryan Prebble, Eva Prowse, Amiria Grenell Justin “Firefly” Clarke, James Coyle, Iraia Whakamoe and guest visual artist, Flox!

Oh my, the first half of the Fly My Pretties IV Tour has been ridiculously amazing! Dunedin, Christchurch and Melbourne were all fantastic shows, with a magic vibe and brilliant crowds! Only the North Island to go with 3 shows in Auckland on 10, 11 12 November and Wellington on 19 November!

Check out info for the Auckland shows here and info for the Wellington show here

Thanks to everyone who has come along to the shows so far, it’s been a really special experience and the cast and crew are the best bunch of people ever put together!

P.S. See here for Eva’s fave review from the Melbourne show…

Eva is off to New Zealand on 17th October (in time for the Rugby World Cup Final!) to perform with Fly My Pretties who will play shows in throughout New Zealand and in Melbourne during October and November.

So, before she heads home for a visit, Eva is playing a ‘Farewell to Summer’ set at Proud Camden‘s Acoustic Stable on Sunday 9th October at 5pm. Apparently there’s even a BBQ (vegetarian & meateater friendly)!

Proud Camden is in the Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, Camden Town, NW1 8AH

Peace In The City presents a folky, bluesy mellow one at The Good Ship, London. Featuring: 

Toby A charismatic singer, songwriter and guitarist magically weaving together roots, rock and reggae. Passionate and joyous on stage, recent appearances like America’s Summerfest prove why Toby is warmly welcomed to festival bills, support slots and headlining shows world-wide.

Eva Prowse A multi-faceted artist who effortlessly conveys a sweet mixture of pure emotion and clever songs in a most insightful way. Her debut album I Can’t Keep Secrets, has been described as ‘a debut with everything in place’ with ‘assured songwriting and vocals which sit in an area between alt.folk and gentle indie.pop-rock.’ Graham Reid, elsewhere.co.nz (Best of ELSEWHERE 2010).

Sarah May A fun and wacky playground-pop performer.

Matt Woods An acoustic singer-songwriter, trapped somewhere between the boundaries of Folk and Soul.

Doors 730pm, £5 entry

The Good Ship, 289 Kilburn High Road, London NW6 7JR

I am extremely delighted and excited to announce that I will be popping home to New Zealand in October/November to be a part of the Fly My Pretties IV shows.

Fly My Pretties are back with a re-imagined show, new cast and a wealth of new songs. The fresh concept will see FMP collaborate with renowned visual artist, Hayley King (Flox). Expect a completely new production, from re-inspired costumes, to unique boundary-pushing visuals – all filmed & recorded live for their 4th release.

In Act I, Flox will interpret each new song into iconic images, which will be uniquely brought to life both during the performance and as an exhibition of limited edition prints. Act II will be packed to the hills with Pretties classics plus a few surprises.

The FMP IV cast is: Amiria Grenell, Anna Coddington, Eva Prowse, Flip Grater, L.A. Mitchell, Aaron Tokona, Age Pryor, Barnaby Weir, Fran Kora, Iraia Whakamoe, James Coyle, Jarney Murphy, Justin Firefly Clarke, Mike Fabulous, Nigel Patterson, Ryan Prebble & special guest artist Flox.

The show will go to Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin and Christchurch. See my Shows page for details on how to get tickets and show dates.
