Hi, the theme of this week’s show has been people working together bringing their skills, creativity and knowledge together to make something new – across different musical genres, different continents, and also in your own backyard you might find the ideal person to connect with and work with. Sometimes these collaborations have been a one-off experiment and sometimes have forged enduring musical relationships. The choices for the show reflect all of these variations and more. I had fun selecting them and I hope you enjoy exploring more about the artists below.

I have some interesting stuff to play you over the coming weeks and a couple of musical stories to tell BUT I will save them for later. In the meantime a focus this week on old and new sounds from Asia – with a remarkable number of kings and queens of different musical genres (music writers have a lot to answer for 
) and some other good new sounds from across the Globe.
We started the show by acknowledging the vision, efforts and staying power of people in Central Australia and beyond to turn the idea of the Desert Peoples Centre into reality and the celebration of the official opening that took place on 29 May at the Desert Knowledge Precinct just outside of Alice Springs.

Its pouring with rain as I type – late morning in Alice Springs. The air smells fantastic and both Brett and I are contemplating if we are going to be able to travel out of town this weekend – Brett is off to Derby to run some training programs for work – till late May – and I am heading to Mount Isa for the Mining Expo for my work. I’m sure there will be a few splashes on the way.

Today was a celebration of newness in two hemispheres – Queensland Australia and the British folk scene. Brett featured the new album Home – a celebration of new Indigenous musicians and bands from Queensland (his home state) complied by www.qmusic.com.au . We share a love of Seaman Dan who appears on Home. He also featured some tracks from a new favourite - the Byron Bay based reggae band Fyah Walk, last seen at Womadelaide 2010. To learn more go to http://www.myspace.com/fyahwalk.
I had an immigrant moment – must be because it is so green here around Alice Springs – focussing on some new folks sounds coming out of Britain. A long way from the 24 verse dirges and sea shanties sung by someone with a digit shoved firmly in their right ear (I guess dirges are challenging to stay in tune for) at the Grimsby Folk Club in Northern England, which I used to frequent as a teenager. We did have some great performers who did attend, including Vin Garbutt who is currently visiting Central Australia.
