David Grace is a New Zealander from Tauranga<\/b> in the Bay of Plenty.\u00a0 He has been living in and out of Dunedin since 1986<\/b>.<\/p>\n

As a mature student of French\/History at Otago University, he did his stint as a scarfie.<\/p>\n

He then spent many years travelling and working in Europe, living for\u00a08 years at Auxerre in Burgundy<\/b>. \u00a0There, he began his musical apprenticeship on\u00a0African and Brazilian drums<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Back in Dunedin in 1996, he set up\u00a0drumming lessons<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0and put together Songbong, a\u00a0drumming ensemble<\/b>\u00a0that provided live music in Kate\u2019s African dance<\/b> classes.\u00a0Songbong performed at\u00a0numerous events in and around Dunedin.<\/b> \u00a0Many Dunedin children will remember the Dunedin drum maker and his <\/strong>residencies in schools.
<\/b><\/p>\n

From 2009, the drum-making side took over. Since 1996, David carved a wide range of drums, such as djemb\u00e9s and dununs <\/b>and has not stopped since. His workshop is attached to his home<\/b> which lets him blend family life and work. Unexpected visitors and dog-walkers will probably find David sweating over a drum, or welding hoops, any day of the week.<\/p>\n

David designed drums perfectly suited to younger kids. He visits schools and pre-schools everywhere in New Zealand, usually in Summer<\/b>, taking years to go around. He takes a van-load across Cook Strait each time<\/b>.<\/p>\n

He makes new drums during the winter<\/b>, in his home workshop. Normally this happens out in the carport, with a scenic view of Mt Cargill<\/b>, but if there\u2019s a frosty \u201cwee southerly\u201d<\/b>, he sometimes retreats inside by the fire.<\/p>\n

David is known as the\u00a0Dunedin Drum Maker<\/b>.<\/p>\n

As for many French natives<\/strong>, Kate\u2019s lineage is not a straightforward one. She takes her roots from a mother born in Morocco<\/strong> and a father from the mountainous regions of the East of France<\/strong>.\u00a0 She grew up in France where she studied traditional dance from West Africa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She flew to New Zealand in 1995 hoping to settle in the Portugal of the Southern Seas<\/strong>, as Dunedin<\/strong> was described to her by Kiwi husband David.\u00a0 Facing instead the Antarctic wind and the Dunedin sound, she had to choose between letting go of her passion for African dance or taking the bull by the horns: s<\/strong>he taught African folk dance for 10 years<\/strong> in a lively and energetic manner supported by David\u2019s live drumming ensemble : \u201cSongbong\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In 2005, David and Kate took their children for a three-year stay back in France.\u00a0 There, she reconnected with dancers and musicians interested in traditional forms of dance from France and Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in New Zealand, she started teaching traditional and historical dance<\/strong> in Dunedin, created a five-piece band playing European music for dance<\/strong> and organised dances and historical balls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kate spends half of her time on the digital side of the Songbong business<\/strong> and the other half as Instrument Supervisor for Saturday Morning Music Classes.<\/strong> \u00a0The third half is spent researching and enjoying music and dance from faraway countries and forgotten periods. \u00a0She uses the time left to badly play her beloved button accordion<\/strong>, to lead constant friendly battles with her garden<\/strong>, to sew historical clothing<\/strong>, to create useless art pieces<\/strong> in her chaotic workspace<\/strong>, to muse upon this and that on her Silent Queen<\/strong> blog\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 and to dream of what could have been<\/strong> had she had more time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
