2011 European tour- Attention overseas visitors

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0800

We're now planning a 2011 European tour. It's a tall order and if it's to happen we'll need some help. Contacts such as promoters, festivals, clubs, house concerts, etc. would be great.

We notice that we get a lot of overseas visitors to this site and would love to hear from you. If you can provide any leads or contacts that pan out we'll reward you!

Our target regions are Switzerland, Germany and possibly France, however, we are open to other regions in Europe (and out of).

If you have any information please use the 'contact' tab for email links. Thanks!

New music project

Recently we were approached by LA/Boston based artist Kianga Ford about collaborating on a project; one that is part of a series of scored narrative audio tours called "The Story of This Place".

This project was commissioned by SECCA as part of the 2009 public art program "Inside Out: Artists in the Community II". It will be unveiled sometime during the National Black Theatre Festival August 3-8.

We look forward to working on this and will be busy bees until then!
