Julian and Annie from The Barons of Tang were kind enough to have a chat with me before Womadelaide commenced on the Friday. We recorded the chat and presented it for RoxFm listeners.
Their performances at womad were every bit as energetic as their music sounds. As were the audience. Complete with crowd surfing. At womad. Another first for me this year...!!





The Bearded Gypsy Band found themselves an equally lively audience for their only performance at Womadelaide. Based in Adelaide they are finding rapid success as an act performing live in the Adelaide Hills and at significant events around the city. 
Considering they are all at uni and school still....quite amazing musicians. 
They are: Kiah Gossner (Bass) Tom Boehm (Violin/Mandolin) Tom Kneebone (Guitar) Max Tulysewski (Drums/Percussion)


In a footnote to this show, Max Tulysewski (drummer - in Yr 11 still) has decided to leave the band. 
The band are still performing, without Max.
It's a bit sad as one audience member noted he really drives their sound in a way other drummers can only wish to.
But watch out for Max, when he starts performing again, we'll all know about it! 

Another footnote, I saw Julian from the Barons disappear backstage of the Zoo stage during the Bearded Gypsy gig....wild speculation abounds... :)
