Last time around

Ooh look! I found my tour blog from our last trip to Australia, for the Cathedral Band’s residency at the Brisbane Powerhouse for the Mini:Max Festival in 2002.

I found it while looking for the name of the center for youth I visited in Fortitude Valley last time I was here; during an on-air interview at Triple Zed, a lovely lady named Zoe Spalding from Brisbane Youth Service called in and asked if I would like to get involved with that they were doing down there. I ended up going there and having an amazing visit with some of the kids hanging out there, and remember one aboriginal kid in particular that I wanted to check up on. Zoe’s no longer there, but they’re still going, and have a website now: http://www.brisyouth.org/. They’re doing good things, and I hope they can continue. Apparently they’re having to look for a new space for the same reason Josh and I just had to move.

Here are pictures from last time around as well:
