TRADE WINDS - Sunday 22 Nov 2009

Trade Winds Featuring The Pigram Brothers (Australia), George Telek’s Moab Stringband (PNG), Shakura Stringband (Vanuatu), Narasirato Pan Pipers (Solomon Islands) & More!
Legendary seven piece country folk/roots band from the pearling town of Broome, Pigram Brothers’ original music captures the Kimberley’s salt water spirit, with many of the band’s songs becoming hometown anthems while simultaneously attracting critical acclaim.
One of PNG’s most highly regarded stringbands, the Moab Stringband featuring George Telek has wowed audiences new to the Stringband sound. To see them perform live, moving in unison as they play, is like being let in on a special secret.
Hailing from the Shefa province of Vanuatu, the Shakura Stringband are the latest popular group of the region to impress audiences with their brand of folk music, using an enchanting mix of guitars, ukuleles and lilting harmonies.
The Narasirato Pan Pipers perform an extensive repertoire of traditional music whilst creating their own unique contemporary sound. A spellbinding mix of virtuosic pan pipe music, performed while dancing to intricately choreographed routines.
