Read the lovely review written by Alley Hector at qPDX.com.
“Somehow the Topp Twins truly encompass a universal message of love, peace, and environmental activism that is refreshing and energizing. I’d elect them president and put them in charge of the BP oil spill if I could. But I’m a little smitten…”

The Topp Twins are coming to the USA in June to attend a number of film festivals and play three live shows.
Jools and Lynda Topp along with Arani Cuthbert, their manager and producer of The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls, will be attending the Seattle Film Festival, Mendocino Film Festival, Portland Queer Documentary Film Festival, Newfest Film Festival and Frameline Film Festival. See the full festival listings for when and where to see them.
The twins will be playing three live shows in Portland, Northampton and San Francisco and tickets are on sale NOW!
The Topps recent performance with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra at the Auckland Town Hall, was filmed for television and screened on TV3 last week. For those of you who missed it you can watch it online on TV3’s TV on Demand.
Performing with a full orchestra was a challenge for a couple of gals who don’t read music or know what a bar is, but everyone had a lot of fun. The show could be called The 3 Kenors as the conductor was called Ken too!
The online video is only available to NZ viewers but the show will be available as an extended version DVD in the near future so keep an eye out.

A big “T hank You” to everyone who came and saw us on our 100 Year Tour. We had a fantastic time and it was such a treat for us to be back on the road in good ole New Zealand.
Love Lynda and Jools.
