22nd February 2010

A pleasant evening of contrasting aboriginal culture, part of the Cultural Olympiad. First up: spirited First Nation drumming, dancing and throat singing from an Inuvialuit community group c/w audience participation. Second act: Anne-Marie Sewell, poet with loop pedal; an engaging, skilled, voice artist with amusing and thoughtful stories. Top-of-the-bill: Pacific Curl, a three women fusion of Kiwi, Pacific Islander and Celtic music - lively and passionate.
