Pacific Curls never
set out to be a trio. But when they found
themselves in an Auckland studio, recording an
album with two others, they had little idea that
after two European tours, countless Australian
dates, several New Zealand and a knock out Canadian
Festival run, they would be the last three

Hailed as a "... standout act..." by The Wellington Dominion Post, and recognised for their "impressive resume of performance experience and musical talent..." (Waikato Times), they are artists who best embody the notion of music and culture transcending boundaries till the seams are invisible.
They describe their musical collaboration for this unconventional threesome, "We feel a reverence for each others cultures and explore the places where we crossover", says Halliday, Barlow adds "people are looking for culture, for belonging, we hope we create that place that embraces us all."
The unprecedented combination of Fiddle, Ukulele, Maori traditional instruments, Cajons, Guitar, Stomp Peddles, Percussion and Vocals with lyrics in Maori, Rotuman and English unfolds a new direction for fusion World music.
