Playing Double Bass
All in the Name of Liberty
The price is eternal vigilance. Liberty in Danger. Some find it in danger, some see liberty in danger right now. We demand liberty, where our desires are our own, not the manufacture of some marketing or political brainwasher. We examine some of the threats - the way that words like freedom and democracy are used to name their enemies! And we aim to enjoy our liberty and have some fun.

5olo5
5olo5 is 5 soloists performing a 12 minute piece then joining in an improv ensemble to complete the show. The brainchild of Trevor Brown, it's on in the Uniting Church on Oxford St Paddington one friday each month. I went along on Friday the 23rd and did some drawings of the performers - Hayley Chan, Gary Daley, Ellen Kirkwood, Freya Shack-Arnott, and Trevor Brown.
Thanks to you all for a really enjoyable show,
Introductions at the strat of the show, Gary, Hayley, Freya, Ellen, and Trevor, my sketchy warm-up. A very enjoyable show, I hope everyone can get along to the next one
