John Wright is a former international cricketer and coach.
He became the first New Zealander to score over 5000 test match runs and was the Indian Cricket team’s first foreign coach. John is still involved on a part-time basis with cricket working for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premiere League (IPL).
“Hotels and travel have been a fact of life. My guitar has been my constant companion, and I am still figuring out how to play it. A long time ago, stumped again by Sultans of Swing in a hotel room somewhere, I decided I would start writing my own songs.

So here we are with the help of Liz who has taken pity on me!!! ”

Martin Kraakman and Rosie Laing have enjoyed a musical collaboration of voice and finger-style guitar for the last eight years and were asked to give their duo a name for a concert in Hanmer Springs. So ‘Copper and Steel’ have a few familiar and less well-known folk and popular covers to share.
