In November a merry band of sixteen ukulele
players descended upon Cellar 88 and made it a night to remember. They are called Anarchy in the Ukulele and played a fine rendition of punk classics such as Sheena is a Punk Rocker and Ever Fallen in Love? Much to the delight of an audience who were up for a good night's entertainment.
We were also joined by local composer Barry Russell
who gave us an abstract composition made up entirely of sounds from animations
and cartoons .. wizz .. bang .. woof .. meeeowww!
The wonders of improvised collaboration
brought us Sam on harmonica, Cadderz on MC and Dan on guitar – and a little
later a similar combo that consisted of an MC and Spoken Word battle against a
back drop of kaossilator, bass and harmonica.
There was also poetry from published
poet Chris Preddle and local author Tim Taylor.
Original song writing from Rebecca and a fabulous start from local choir
Singing for Fun.
All in all this was among the most eclectic and wide ranging of all my nights at Cellar 88 and so much so I’ve been struggling to try and find the words .. hence this late
post. Let the pictures speak for
themselves.
