Another huge week. Nine wonderful performances all up. I had a ball this week. Cann River was small but quirky. I played to almost the entire Cann River P-12 School, all 66 of them. They were incredibly fascinated with a small green spider that was crawling on my cello and they were a fantastic audience.
Mallacoota is a stunningly beautiful place. The wilderness and the water combined with a creative local population. Almost 50 people turned up to the community performance on Tuesday night at the Miva Miva hall where images and music were combined. On Wednesday morning I was whisked around the local sights by Michael and later jammed with a few local musicians at Café 54. The hospitality of the locals was fantastic, special thanks to Lisa, a very talented photographer.
The performances in Bega were a real surprise. The Mumbulla Steiner School were most welcoming and made a generous donation to the tour. The performance at the gallery was fantastic. About 40 people turned up, filling the space.
I’ve certainly met many new friends in this part of the world!
