Canadian spoken word poet Bob Jensen will be appearing at The Spotted Mallard with Tony McManus on Tuesday March 10.

"A gifted poet with a powerful imagination" Shane Howard

"Genius really. Best book of poems I've read in years." Pulitzer nominated American poet John Guzlowski

Canadian born and bred Bob Jensen brings his spoken-word poetry, which incorporates music and soundscapes to The Spotted Mallard, in collaboration with Tony McManus.

Bob has a lifetime of writing under his belt and has collaborated with dozens of artists from four continents including Shane Howard, England’s legendary Martin Simpson, Zimbabwe’s Black Umfolosi and Nashville singer-songwriter, Alan Rhody.

Jensen will draw heavily in his performance from his two audio books, A Blossom for Job and Prayer to Morning in his performances. He currently enjoys a regular spot on CBC Radio called Word Is With Bob Jensen performing and discussing his poetry, and has several major projects in the works including a spoken word recording around the music of Bach.

“Tony McManus’ music is beyond beautiful, it’s perfect.” Tommy Emmanuel

Tony McManus is a master guitar player who has both extended and transcended the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. Ranked by peers and predecessors alike alongside the guitar world’s all-time greats, (English guitarist John Renbourn described him as “the best Celtic guitarist in the world.”) his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic diaspora – Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cape Breton, Quebec – along with still further-ranging flavours, such as jazz and east European music.

Long applauded for his uncanny ability to transpose the delicate, complex ornamentation characteristic of traditional bagpipe or fiddle tunes – even the phrasing of a Gaelic song – onto his own six strings, McManus is increasingly being acknowledged also as a pioneering figure in bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres.

Canadian Spoken Word Poet Bob Jensen is touring with Tony McManus on this Australian tour.
