About Me |

Louise Hughes, guitarist, singer & songwriter, formerly based in Sydney, has decided to settle on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, after many years of touring and performing both nationally & internationally. Originally from New Zealand, music really started for Louise while singing in a church choir. She first picked up a guitar & a ukulele at three years of age. In High School, she formed a rock band with some family members playing songs by Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Credence Clearwater Revival, Eric Clapton, Bad Finger & Mississippi at the local Town Hall. Louise Hughes's career as a professional performer began in 1972, covering many facets of live music such as Rock, Cabaret, Motown, Jazz and Blues. She took an opportunity to come to Australia, in the early 70’s & immediately went into a Melbourne based showband, learning everything about music on the way. She backed performers such as Little Patti & Lucky Starr. Married to the very talented late Peter Bonner, Louise did the Federal circuit in Australia under the names “Double Dynamite” & “Bonnie & Clyde’s Government”. Louise & Peter also recorded & produced their own single at Armstrong Studios in Tasmania, “If You Could Read My Mind” & “Golden Guitar”. Louise is probably best known as part of the all girl band The Party Girls, which achieved great recognition & success in the 1980’s. The Party Girls supported international acts such as Meat Loaf, The Sweet and Suzi Quatro, as well as Simple Minds and The Eurythmics. They were also a headline act themselves, having a chart topping album, appearing at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Oz for Africa, & appearing on many T.V. shows such as Hey, Hey it’s Saturday. In the mid 90’s Louise returned to New Zealand & while there toured as lead guitarist with New Zealand's No. 1 funk band, Ardijah, as well as performing for the “Coca Cola Christmas in the Park” concerts, of which she was Musical Director for the late Dalvanius Prime. In recent years, Louise recorded a ten track alternate blues CD with New Zealand musicians Patrick Kuhtze on drums, Stuart Pearce ..s, Max Stowers on bass & the backing vocals of Sharon Tuapawa with Louise on vocals, electric, slide & acoustic guitars as well as backing vocals. She then formed a blues/rock line-up called "The Louise Hughes Band". This band featured Louise and her son Bobby-Joe Bonner on lead guitars. They covered Texas Blues plus tracks from her CD. Bobby-Joe now heads his own band "Stars of Addiction". As a solo artist, Louise's repertoire harnesses and reflects her unique onstage presence and amplifies her ability to communicate with her audience through her music. Above all she has an unbelievable ability to stun her audience with her amazing guitar licks and vocal feel, whether it is in her original material or in covering Texas blues & country styles. Louise is revered by many as being Australia's top female lead guitarist! Louise is currently writing for a new album with songwriter/lyricist Linda King. Linda, who plays harp & rhythm guitar, will also form part of a new blues/country line-up with Louise. Louise Hughes has been selected as a "Finalist" in the August 2007 round of the Song of the Year song and lyric competition for her instrumental track "Neptune". Song of the Year receives entries from all over the world and only the top five entries achieve "Finalist" status. .. Louise Hughes has been selected as an "Honorable Mention" in the May 2007 round of the "Song of the Year" song and lyric competition, for her song "No Telling". Song of the Year receives entries from all over the world and only those artists who display particular talent or creativity receive such recognition.
