The feelers heartland tour

In October, New Zealand's most successful rock act venture off the beaten
track into our nation's heartland for a series of very special shows.

The feelers are heading off the usual path of "national tours" which only
visit the main centres to take their music to those New Zealanders not
necessarily on "the main trunk line".

The Heartland tour runs throughout October and early November, and sees
the feelers visit towns from Waipu to Twizel, playing in the town halls and
community centres usually neglected by the modern music business.
The tour is an acknowledgment of the support the feelers have always had
from the length and breadth of New Zealand, and the shows will be about
connecting with the grass roots in the provinces, which have always been an
important part of the band's Audience.

The Heartland shows have been conceived as special events, and to reflect
this, the band has worked up an exclusive set, with brand new arrangements
of some of the feelers' classics. Tailor-made for the more intimate
environments of the smaller venues, some of these special versions utilise
piano and strings - and it is promised that these will be feelers
performances unlike any others. Apart from these never-to-be-repeated
interpretations, fans expecting the feelers' more familiar full-powered rock
anthems will not be disappointed: the Heartland shows will also include the
energetic, full-power approach that has won hearts and minds across the
nation.

In the ten years since the multi-award winning group emerged from their
Christchurch hometown, eighteen of the feelers' singles have charted, with
four of those being number one smashes. The band has released four albums --
all of which have hit the number one spot in the New Zealand chart --
culminating in sales of over quarter of a million.
