Yes, live from Berlin by MUXX.TV, it's the entire concert streamed live and shot specifically for my personal posterity. And maybe yours too. With limited tickets as prizes, only a few winners and celebs got to be our select live audience. Lucky you.
For this one, big thanx go out to Michiel Kruit for his relentless organisation and backing, to Holaku Mameghani (the Persian Dictator and Director) and the rest of the very lovely Team Muxx as well as Kiwi John for the space, cold beer and shocking vowels. Any dodgy footage is purely the fault of the subject and not the crack pro filming team.
Thanx Miriam and Helge at the fab Burg Henneberg, Hamburg.
"In a field increasingly inhabited by poetic and intellectual pygmies, Taheny can cut through the vaporous crap with a single line. That she does so with wry humour makes her all the more a contemporary stand-out." Time Out Magazine, London
“Seduces you and runs a sharp fingernail down a sensitive part of your anatomy when you least expect it.”
Simon Hardeman, The Independent, London
“She's a breath of fresh air ... quirky, very thoughtful and interesting! And her music is lovely!” Gillian Russell, Music Café, BBC Scotland
“Intelligent and witty, athletic, erudite” – these adjectives used by Ronnie Taheny to describe her perfect man in her fabulous poem “A Darcy Before I Die” could equally describe this diminutive dynamo herself!" Rosemary Cadden, InDaily, Adelaide
"Power from DownUnder! Impressing how her warmth, charisma, energy and black sense of humour fill the stage and captivate the audience." Kim Heibon, "The Machine" Radio P3, Denmark
"Taheny manages to enchant her audience with her stage presence. And she writes remarkably catchy songs - a female Captain Hook who throws the lines." Christian Dorn, freelance, Berlin, Germany
“Rarely do you hear such great warmth and generosity in smart pop music!” David Sly, WOMAD/Adelaide Festival/SA Life Adelaide.
