Film Fantastic
The organisers of
Film Fantastic have invited me to perform at the festival, to be held on the Gold Coast from October 17-19th, 2008.
I
will be involved in a collaborative work with performance artist Danni
Zuvela called ‘Possibilites’ - a 45 minute projection-based performance
that incorporates classical/contemporary dance and live music.
I’m
really looking forward to this project as it’s the end result should be
something quite unique!

India Tour, April & May 2008
I recently completed a tour of India, performing shows in Mumbai and Goa.
Having travelled around South India a few years ago I thought I was
prepared for the unexpected...but it’s no real shock that India had a
few surprises waiting for me this time around!
There are photos and video footage from the tour on my website.
I had some great feedback from the audiences I played for, and in the media, and am planning my next tour for early 2009.

Didj on the beach, Mumbai style
At
the last Mumbai show of my recent India tour, I was lucky enough to
meet a few local Didjeridoo players. We arranged to meet a few days
later and play a bit of Didj at Andheri beach.
It was a great way to
finish off the tour...got a bit dark though as we didn’t start until
after sunset, and we almost got caught by the rising tide!
One of the Didj players brought a friend, Clyde, who is a regular blogger. To read his account of the gathering, click
here. I also recommend his other
blogs if you’d like to read more about Mumbai.
