Some comments on previous concerts from reviewer Paul Cruise:
Loosely Woven again demonstrated their uncanny ability to encompass the gamut of human experience in a single performance.
Leader Wayne Richmond and his talented crew took their audience to many places – some enchanting, some disturbing, some hilarious, some mournful; I felt I’d been given a grand tour of my own heart. What more could you ask of a night out? * .
..You can enjoy a musical treat and also support human rights by coming .Loosely Woven concerts are always lots of fun.
