Turn Back The Tide

 

Dear friends,
We had expected the year 2008 to be a chilled affair but the BIG WAVE came rolling in and we had to ride that wave.

Parissa started two new choirs in the northern NSW towns of Murwullimbah and Byron Bay.

Carl released two solo albums, one with story songs and one full of worldly songs, and saw his book of road stories published under the title 'Tarab - Travels with my guitar' www.carlcleves.com & www.myspace.com/carlcleves He has also been teaching World Music during the first semester at Southern Cross University in Lismore.

With all these goings on there has been less time for touring. We will however tour in Germany during the months of September and October and some gigs are planned for the east coast of Australia in November. Check out the gig guide for details.

We hope to see you all again soon along the music lovers highway.
Cheers Parissa and Carl
