The Ukulele Death Squad’s energetic, Tarantino-influenced style of playing the uke has struck such a chord that just two years after launching they are set to present three different Adelaide Fringe shows and make their WOMADelaide debut.
After surviving a troubled adolescence and a crippling lack of self-confidence, WOMADelaide-bound soul and reggae singer Adrian Eagle says he is thankful his music career blossomed late in life.
The Adani mine saga, oil drilling in the Great Australian Bight and the link between meat consumption and climate change are among topics to be debated when WOMADelaide’s Planet Talks moves to a new venue in the park next year.
WOMADelaide has released the final 40 acts in its 2019 line-up, with highlights including Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara, Australian singer Thelma Plum, and French group The Original Gypsies – featuring members of ’80s band The Gipsy Kings.
