Marrickville Cultural Festival


Sunday was Festival day along Marrickville Road. Was a good crowd, as the pics will show. Deborah Conway was playing but John (at left) and I kept moving through the crowd. She has a beautiful powerful voice. I wanted to see Unkle Ho, but there was no way to find out when he was playing. The Council website had a dud link to a programme so we missed out. It would have to be one of the better street festivals around due to the diversity of local cultures, although I thought there'd be more Vietnamese and Greek food.

The Last act , Deborah Conway. The sound at the centre stage where Unkle Ho would have been playing was poor - three walls boxing it in and distorting. That makes it a bit easier to accept missing him.

Great blog! I look forward to the next entry.
Mmmmmm Lots of flat green stuff for beast races.
Perhaps a slide show on the cliff face and diggings for 20th. century Greek artifacts if I ever find time to visit?
