Sat 29 Jul West End - Pulse feat. Yeshe
Posted on behalf of Talkin' the Drum...
PULSE
Yeshe
Based in Byron Bay, and a World CitiZen in every way, Yeshe brings to Pulse his own flavour of Zimbabwe’s mbira music. Soundroots Canada has this to say: “Yeshe's half whispered vocals and liquid mbira dzavadzimu create an intimacy that makes you want to lean into the music".
- featuring Shen on tabla
Spankinhide
If you’re looking for a dance, look no further. Quite possibly the most danceable music on the planet, the West African rhythms of Spankinhide are both relentless and toight!
Zormiwasa
There’s something very exciting about watching a big mob of smiling people performing African rhythms and dance. Zormiwasa, a Hausa word for “come play music” brings a strong sense of community spirit and in these cooler Brisbane months breaks the ice in spectacular style!
Presented by Talkin' the Drum
Sat 29th July
Doors open 7pm
$15/$12 conc.
Fine food and bar available.
@ the Drum, Souths Leagues Club, Jane St. Davies Park West End.

Sat 15 Jul Brisbane - Qwerty feat. Linsey Pollak
Posted on behalf of Linsey Pollak...
Hi Brisbane friends,
I'm writing to let you know that we are bringing our trio qwerty to Brisbane for a rare performance at The Festival Fringe.
Qwerty is one of the most unique and amazing performance projects that I have been involved with and I'd love you to experience it if you haven't already done so. It's a difficult act to "sell" and I've no idea how many people they'll manage to get along, so I thought I'd let you know about it. Please tell your friends.
Thanks and best wishes - Linsey
Venue: Basement, Metro Arts (109 Edward Street, Brisbane City)
When: Sat 15 Jul, 8.15pm & Sun 16 Jul, 6.15pm
TICKETS: $15 (Bookings: Metro Arts Box Office, 109 Edward Street, Brisbane City)
Qwerty
Qwerty is the amazing improvising wordsmith Peter Rowe with facilitated communication and soaring vocals by Terri Delaney and live looping of WX5 windsyth by Linsey Pollak.
Qwerty is unique. The process that occurs between the three artists is a first in Australia and more than likely a first worldwide. It is performance and musical risk taking in the extreme.
The lyricist, Peter Rowe has minimal verbal communication skills and uses facilitated communication (FC) to communicate with others. FC is a mode of assisted communication using a board with letters, numbers and some words on it, very similar to the set up on a computer keyboard.
It is on this board that Peter writes the lyrics. He improvises completely new songs by pointing to letters on the board that are read by Terri. This is done at breakneck speed that takes considerable practice and rapport. The words that Peter taps out are read and then sung by Terri. (Think about it a bit…….Peter is totally improvising a complete concert of song text, and……as Terri sings the words that Peter writes she is simultaneously reading the next ones). Her melodies are totally improvised in response to the music that Linsey is creating by improvising and “live looping” (playing, recording and building up complex layers of various sounds) using his WX5 (a midi windsynth).
All three artists agree that this is one of the most extraordinary projects that any of them have worked on…..they describe it as a process where the sense of self becomes blurred. The ego is consumed by the necessity of absolute group focus. It is improvisation in its purist form, where each performer must let go of any expectations or preconceptions. There must be no fear when stepping off the edge. It is a process that is undeniably liberating for the three performers.
When qwerty walk on the stage they don’t know where the performance will go. They have no idea of the song content or the musical style, let alone such details as key or time signature. Audiences are certainly taken on quite a journey, sometimes emotional, sometimes funny, sometimes philosophical, often intense and always musically eclectic. It is difficult for some people to accept that it all is being totally created in this way before their eyes and ears. Some people particularly find it difficult to understand and believe the process of Facilitated Communication. However it’s real…….extraordinary, but real
“Qwerty takes us on a journey through improvised words, music and voice that reaches into the soul. Few experiences are as deserving of being labeled 'A MUST' in the entertainment world as qwerty. With sublime aesthetic, playful dynamic and infinite imagination, this ever-ready team of improvisers Challenge the moment, themselves and their audience on the threshold between necessary thought Provocation and pure raw emotion. They have been a catalyst for more tears, laughter,hope and Inspiration than I've ever seen in an audience. The reason is because their work is disarmingly Real in every sense of our perception and its reflection on our existence. It is quite simply evolutionary art."
-Carl Pannuzzo
Qwerty first worked together as part of the “Horse to Water” project in 2004
They have continued as a trio since that time developing their unique style of creating song. They have performed at The Woodford Folk Festival (to standing ovation) and at the Music by The Sea Festival in Sandgate as well as various venues around the Sunshine Coast.

HARPING ON IN MAPLETON
Popular Victorian harper Andy Rigby returns to the Blackall range on Saturday June 17 to give an evening concert with friends at the historic Mapleton Hall.
Andy’s music encompasses a seductive mix of Paraguayan cross-rhythms, original tunes and Celtic melodies.
Andy’s no stranger to the coast, having played and taught folk harp at numerous Maleny and Woodford festivals and appeared at the Cooroy instrument makers’ exhibition, as well as giving solo concerts and workshops in the area. For the concert he’ll be joined by local harp-player Rebecca Hood, Brisbane fiddler Randall Mathews and percussionist Tunji Beier (of’ Dva’ fame). The four musicians have played together in previous concerts to enthusiastic crowds.
Not only is Andy a great musician, he’s also a well-respected harp maker, having designed and built instruments for harp players throughout Australia and overseas. He plays mostly on a 36-string "Paraceltic" harp of his own
design and making. His visit to the coast this month includes a reunion with ten harpers who made their own harps under his instruction at a workshop held at Maleny High School ten years ago.
Andy’s music is featured on many recordings, most notably on his solo CD, ‘Made and Played’, as well as with ‘Blackwood’ and the harp trio ‘Moving Harps’. He has also recorded with Shakuhachi player Riley Lee, with Dulcimer player Gillian Alcock’ and he’s heard playing the whistle on Rebecca Hood’s Gaelic harp recording ‘Over Nine Waves’.
Andy will also be running a hands-on teaching session from 2pm at the concert venue.
Venture out for a great night of eclectic acoustic music. Doors will open at 6.30 for the 7.00pm concert at Mapleton Community Hall, Obi Obi Rd, Mapleton. Tickets at the door: $10.00 / $13.00 and $35.00 for families. Hot drinks will be available.
Enquiries for the teaching session and concert can be directed to Rebecca on 5445 7478 or Judy on 5496 1657. Andy can also be contacted on 0400-865229

HARPING ON IN MAPLETON
Popular Victorian harper Andy Rigby returns to the Blackall range on Saturday June 17 to give an evening concert with friends at the historic Mapleton Hall.
Andy’s music encompasses a seductive mix of Paraguayan cross-rhythms, original tunes and Celtic melodies.
Andy’s no stranger to the coast, having played and taught folk harp at numerous Maleny and Woodford festivals and appeared at the Cooroy instrument makers’ exhibition, as well as giving solo concerts and workshops in the area. For the concert he’ll be joined by local harp-player Rebecca Hood, Brisbane fiddler Randall Mathews and percussionist Tunji Beier (of’ Dva’ fame). The four musicians have played together in previous concerts to enthusiastic crowds.
Not only is Andy a great musician, he’s also a well-respected harp maker, having designed and built instruments for harp players throughout Australia and overseas. He plays mostly on a 36-string "Paraceltic" harp of his own
design and making. His visit to the coast this month includes a reunion with ten harpers who made their own harps under his instruction at a workshop held at Maleny High School ten years ago.
Andy’s music is featured on many recordings, most notably on his solo CD, ‘Made and Played’, as well as with ‘Blackwood’ and the harp trio ‘Moving Harps’. He has also recorded with Shakuhachi player Riley Lee, with Dulcimer player Gillian Alcock’ and he’s heard playing the whistle on Rebecca Hood’s Gaelic harp recording ‘Over Nine Waves’.
Andy will also be running a hands-on teaching session from 2pm at the concert venue.
Venture out for a great night of eclectic acoustic music. Doors will open at 6.30 for the 7.00pm concert at Mapleton Community Hall, Obi Obi Rd, Mapleton. Tickets at the door: $10.00 / $13.00 and $35.00 for families. Hot drinks will be available.
Enquiries for the teaching session and concert can be directed to Rebecca on 5445 7478 or Judy on 5496 1657. Andy can also be contacted on 0400-865229

A Carnatic musician by profession, mine has been a life soaked in melody from the very beginning. Growing up in a traditional South Indian family, I had my initial tutelage in music from my father Dr. Srinivasan. Later I was singularly fortunate to be taken under the wings of Sangeetha Kalanidhi Dr. S. Ramanathan - exemplary musician, esteemed musicologist and extraordinary human being. My musical instincts were further honed by Smt. T. Muktha, of the legendary Brinda-Muktha duo. I owe all my success and achievements till today to these individuals and to the bountiful blessings of my beloved Ambal, the Goddess Kamakshi of Kanchipuram.
