GAZA FUNDRAISER – for medical support
A performance by the legendary NZ music/performance group FROM SCRATCH
Kāhui St Davids / Khyber Pass
Saturday October 11th , 8pm
From Scratch – just returned from their recent national tour with
Chamber Music NZ – will re-present their multi-media touring
programme in Auckland central, in collaboration with Kāhui St Davids, as an urgent fund-raiser to support NZ medics and medical support in Gaza, Palestine.
With 50 years of originality and invention behind them, From Scratch have proven their egalitarian politics and their cultural relevance with their reputation for original,highly rhythmic compositions performed on a range of unique DIY percussion, including their characteristic PVC slap-tubes and other invented instruments.
The October 11 performance will feature one of the classic From Scratch originals Songs for Unsung Heroes, an extended composition by Phil Dadson that celebrates those lesser known individuals through history who have helped raise the consciousness of humanity and infuenced the development of mankind. Additionally they will present three short films
by local film makers that From Scratch provide ‘live foley’ accompaniment for on an assortment of sonic effects & instruments.
“Our aim is to dedicate this performance in support of NZ medical aid to the many Palestinians in dire need of, within Gaza. We hope to immerse the audience in a rich and engaging journey, at the heart of which is a message of love, hope and support for all who suffer as a result of the conflict”
From Scratch : Adrian Croucher, Shane Currey, Phil Dadson, Darryn Harkness, Chris O’Connor
