Mark Tierney is a NZ songwriter, music video maker, documentary maker and producer but is best known as part of the multi-platinum winning 1990s band Strawpeople, along with then-music partner Paul Casserly. The former Aucklander has been working overseas for many years making documentaries and advertisements. But now he's released his first music in more than 20 years. His single Drowning is out now and his album Exhibition will be out later in the year.
On Friday 19 October at 8.30pm, Friday Night Live (Nights with Bryan Crump) will replay for the first time in 20 years, RNZ's 1998 recording of Strawpeople Live @ The Helen Young Studio. This unique session is an acoustic re-arrangement of classic Strawpeople songs featuring string players from the Auckland Philharmonia with Victoria Kelly on piano, and Fiona McDonald on vocals.
