Elle Walker, Arts Centre, Christchurch. Sept.2008. AjrAnother in the Series Meet the People – Ordinary and Extraordinary New Zealanders Doing Interesting Things –Elle Walker is a Christchurch-based singer and saxophone player who has become a regular at the The Art Centre markets every weekend. Her laid back approach to blues and contemporary jazz is the perfect addition to the 80-stall market and her mellow tones are popular with nearby café-goers. I’ve taken to going to market most weekends, getting coffee at one of the caravans and just sitting and listening – and watching too of course! As buskers go, she’s one of the best and she’s always got a good stock of her multi-award-winning album “Rose Coloured Glasses,” which features original numbers. It took out several awards in the 1998-99 Australian Songwriters Association National Song Writing Contest.
