can do at Selwyn Sounds
“I had to learn the English
phonetically and that is actually
how I learn music too. I listen
to where heart is needed and
where anger is needed and all the
emotions, I just emulate those
inflections without really knowing
what I am talking about, but
I have just fooled everyone,” she
said.
“I can’t believe I got that role,
if only they knew how I did
it. But it did catch up on me a
couple of times on stage where
I’d fumble over a word because
I didn’t fully understand it and
I had to dig my way out of it,
live.”
She said that while the way
dyslexic people figured things
out might be different, the
outcome could be incredible.
Crummer, who lives in
Auckland, said she loved
that performing enabled her
to travel. She always looked
forward to playing with
Harwood, Urlich and O’Neill,
sometimes joined by Shona
Laing, with the singers typically
doing about three or four shows
together a year.
She was looking forward to
reuniting with them for Selwyn
Sounds.
“I’m a huge fan of theirs and
we have the utmost respect for
each other so it’s a joy all round,
a real buzz.”
The concert will also feature
Kiwi rock heavyweights Mi-Sex,
Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band
and Jason Kerrison.
When she was not performing
with Harwood and co or going
solo, she often joined her father’s
band, Will Crummer and the
Rarotongans, playing songs
which mostly sung in Cook
Island Maori. Crummer took a
more low key role in the band,
playing the pahu and putting in
some occasional backing vocals.
She didn’t mind stepping back
from the spotlight and credited
her father with setting her on
the path to stardom.
“He gave me the gift of
music,” she said.
“I do count my blessings,
that’s a daily ritual for me, the
fact that I can do music and
have never had a job.”
