"Patti Smith and Pippi Longstocking converge to crank-out smart-arsed songs for minds that move."

“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."

 LIVE FROM BERLIN w. MUXX TV - MAY 2017

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. 

 Stream it here:

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.

"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

“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
