  8:00 Dudley Benson live at St Matthew-in-the-City

  Growing up on a Cantabrian goat farm provided a captivated audience and favourable acoustics for Dudley Benson to develop his singing talents. Eventually becoming head soloist of the Christchurch Cathedral Choir, Dudley also embraced pop and composition, creating a wholly original sound. On the heels of two sold-out and acclaimed EPs in 2006, Dudley Benson performed at St Matthew-in-the-City church in Auckland, accompanied by choir and string quartet. Radio New Zealand presents this magical recording in the candle-lit, white marble surrounds of St Matthews, where Dudley Benson, Four-part Choir & String Quartet rework songs from Dudley's two Eps, premiered material from his forthcoming album The Awakening and offer their take on Kate Bush's Hounds of Love. The songs are: Domino, The Awakening, Deep River, Lingeress, Asthma, Resonate, Audrey H, It's Akaroa's Fault, Hounds Of Love, On The Shoulders & I Don't Mind (recorded in St Matthew-in-the-City, Auckland by RNZ)
