Loosely Woven's most ambitious project yet!

Blue Skies was much more than just another concert. It featured both musical and spoken word items in the tradition of early 20th century Music Hall including the world premiere performances of two short musicals by Harry & Tully Dingle. It featured:

• 'A Folk Tale' - a typically quirky musical play by Harry Dingle which included three wonderful new songs!
• 'Joy of Shirali' - a beautiful musical drama by Tully Dingle which included six wonderful new songs!
• Two songs by Trevor Swadling (for the first time with Loosely Woven)
• A song by Shad Haumu
• A sing-a-long medley of Music Hall songs
• Other songs by Irving Berlin, Sarah McLachlan, Alistair Hulett & Ewan McColl

There were two public performances of Blue Skies:

Both were to full houses. In the case of St David's it was more than a full house with a number of people having to stand at the back and the sides. In future we will have to seriously consider two St David's performances of some concerts.

All Loosely Woven performances are free though on most occasions, invitations are extended to make a donation towards a charity. In the case of the Avalon concert, nearly $700 was raised for Amnesty International. Donations at St David's exceeded $800.
