Bamboo/ Debbie Filler
Bruce Belsham
For those not already in the know, Auckland has at last sprouted a genuine patron of the arts. Mr Charlie Gray who keeps the Island of Real Cafe in Airedale Street has started a programme of music and entertainment on selected week-nights and on Sunday afternoons. On this chosen Sunday, Debbie Filler, well known Joni Mitchell devotee about town, and Bamboo, newish and punchy rock ’n’ roll band, combined to provide diversion for we languid souls who sought to fritter away an afternoon. Deborah sang songs written by (amongst others) Ms Mitchell, Geoffrey Chunn, Randy Newman and herself. Bamboo exhibited a generally exemplary taste in material (Allen Toussaint, Little Feat, The Stones), and as a highlight, Deborah joined the band for a stirring rendition of Randy Newman's "Guilty". Barring the tedious theatre group, a pleasant enough time was registered by most, in this venue to be noted.
