Blair Jollands

Fresh off the back of his UK and European tour, the London-based musician is homeward bound for an end of summer jaunt around New Zealand this April, performing intimate shows in Christchurch, Auckland, Kumeu, Warkworth, Napier, Raglan and Cambridge. Since leaving our shores over twenty years ago, Jollands has carved out a highly successful career in the UK as a composer and sound designer, with his soundtracks for Shackleton, Pride, Alien vs Predator, Netflix series Bodies, and Sky Atlantic series Fortitude earning him international recognition with a string of Emmy, Golden Globe, and Bafta nominations to his name. A unique talent described as having a ‘country and eastern sound’, Jollands alternates recording albums under his given name and his alter ego El Hula. His musical style is comprised of an eclectic blend of soul-blues, country-folk, alt-pop and everything in-between, revealing a boldly diverse artist whose creativity is unhindered by traditional musical confines.
