Horsham show for Kiwi entertainers N
ew Zealand country music heavyweights Eddie Low and Kevin Greaves will perform in Horsham on Friday night.
Sunnyside Horsham Bowling Club will present Kiwi Kings of Country and Comedy at its clubrooms from 7.30pm. Low, rated as New Zealand’s number-one recording artist was ‘the voice in a million’. Critics have also described Greaves, who tours the United States and has been based in Nashville for 15 years, as New Zealand’s ‘entertainer of the year’. Stephen R. Cheney will also perform during the Sunnyside show. Event spokesman Barrie Okely said there had been a considerable amount of lobbying to attract the Kiwi icons to Horsham. “We caught up with them in New Zealand 18 months
ago and it’s just fantastic that they have agreed to play in the Wimmera. These performers are unlikely to play in Horsham again,” he said. Low was born blind and developed his musical talent while spending much of his childhood at the Blind Institute in Auckland. When he was 12 he underwent a series of operations, which led to him gaining partial sight in his left eye. He was briefly with the Sundowners in the early 1960s and was also a member of the Truetones before joining the Quin Tikis showband, which toured as part of the annual Miss New Zealand extravaganza and also with Joe Brown’s Country and Western Stage Show. He went solo in 1970 and became a prominent artist in New Zealand and Australia. Greaves is one of 14 children of the late New Zealand
country music legend Rusty Greaves He performed on stage from the age of five and started his professional entertaining career at 14. Greaves has been one of New Zealand’s busiest and most popular entertainers, performing with some of Nashville’s top entertainers such as The Dixie Chicks, the late Tennessee Ernie Ford, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Snow, Charley Pride, Bill Anderson and Freddie Hart, Skip Ewing, Ronnie Prophet, Charlie Walker, Chris Ward, Terri Clark, Johnny Lee, Vern Gosdin, James Burton, Sheb Wooley, Clinton Gregory, The Kinleys, Gil Grand, the late Carl Perkins and Rick Trevino.
