Adelaide Fringe 07
Ends March 31.

The Garden of Unearthly Delights has proven popular with venues offering everything from carny shows, the late night So Co Cargo club and a program of musicians at the excellent Bosco Theater. Elsewhere, the grunge Fringe …

Womadelaide : Sounds of the Planet 2007
March 9 -11.

Murray Bramwell samples some recent CDs from this year’s Womadelaide artists.

It is now only a week away. Well established in its annual cycle, Womadelaide, follows the seasons back into the Adelaide autumn. And, after such a parched summer, the cool green expanse and easy shade of Botanic Park seems more beguiling than ever. This year’s is the eleventh event and marks the fifteenth anniversary of this “world of music …
