Pete got offered a slot in Carols by Candlelight, a fundraiser for Northern Irish childrens charity NSPCC. I got Charles Freyberg to drive me up to Blackheath at the top of the Blue Mountains.
Pete took us out to Anvil Rock where he read a story he was entrusted with in Arnhem land, the origin of the Morning Star, a tale of death and rebirth. Where we were sitting is a massacre site
He followed this with his song Brothers and Sisters accompanying himself on the viola. We were lucky that the afternoon was still, hardly a breath of wind over the peaks so the audio is good, and with the location it was easy to get good pictures
In the new year, after the show, I'll stick this up on my youtube channel and post a link here.
