About Malcolm McNeill
This year celebrates 50 years in music for Malcolm McNeill - New Zealand’s premier jazz singer. As well as regular performances throughout New Zealand and Australia Malcolm has performed in Festivals all of the world in London, New York, Japan, Amsterdam, Italy, France, Bombay and others.
Cleo Laine and John Dankworth called Malcolm one their “all-time favourite singers”. As well as touring the UK with their orchestra, he was a regular soloist with the BBC and at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in Soho. He recorded a CD of popular songs with Kiri te Kanawa - and wrote the title track for that album called Heart To Heart.
Kiri says of Malcolm that “ he is in his own right – a great artist”.
Malcolm has performed with all the major orchestras in New Zealand. He recorded a CD with the Sydney Symphony and in a concert recording for the ABC with Sir William Southgate and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Since his home was destroyed in the Christchurch earthquake in 2011 he has been a gypsy – traveling the world, performing and soaking up musical and cultural life of many countries.
For Waiheke Malcolm will team up once again with guitarist Kevin Watson – they recorded together on Malcolm’s “EYE” album 30 years ago. As well as songs from that Album –jazz standards from Cole Porter, Gershwin, Rodger’s and Hart, they will include new songs, and some originals.
This is Malcolm’s first performance on Waiheke Island in many years. Don’t miss it!

Many butterflies migrate over long distances, and butterflies also symbolize rebirth into a new life. The owners of Peacock Sky Vineyard have migrated thousands of miles to start their new life in the centre of Waiheke Island, surrounded by lush native bush and overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. They share their verdant home with a flock of wild peacocks from which the vineyard takes its name. |
