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? “* .
. Loosely Woven encourage audience participation in their concerts which are always lots of fun, and you can enjoy a musical treat and also support human rights by coming because voluntary donations will go to Amnesty International
Avalon Amnesty International group works for the rights of:-
refugees and asylum seekers; indigenous people, many victims of unjust treatment; those at risk of torture and execution;and to gain human rights for disadvantaged people all over the world.
