Comments received about the 2010 Show
It was my first festival. All I can say is what a wonderful, warm, friendly and varied night's entertainment we all had.
Sometimes you go to things totally unsure what you are going to get and end up being so-so about them, but last night
was tremendous. I specifically went to see the Greek Rembetiko but was mesmerised by both Jean-Pierre and the Asian dancing.
Cannot really fault anything other than if you had some different food/snacks (my kids werent too taken with samosas etc
- but I loved them!) Regards (to you and Andy) Paris
It was fantastic show . . . . The response for our children's performance is fabulous. We are so overwhelmed by that,
each and every person came around to say how well they did. Kind Regards,
Meena

Act 2 Drum Circle; Act 1 Drum Battle. Local percussionist and drum teacher is simply irrepressible!
His band Soma has performed nationally and locally to great acclaim. Nobody has yet counted how many different
instruments he payed in Campbell Park last year: was it six didgeridoos, fifty bells with his vast circle of drums?
Two acts, a drum battle between percussion and a full kit, then the circle of his drum students and colleagues
will raise the roof.

Guitarist and pianist are strong activists with the Anglican Peace Fellowship sing songs which
emphasise the futility of war as a solution to world problems.
