So, here is another one: this time it is the all-female Austalian vocal group "Arramaieda", recorded in Hobart in April 1995, with sound from a feed from the PA plus my own additional microphones on the stage, video from a separate tripod mounted camera. The video is nothing like pro quality but is OK for the day, audio is very good.

Arramaieda at this point were Melanie Shanahan, Rachel Hore, Kirsten Mackenzie and Pascale Rose (Mark Robson guests on the last track). Melanie is sadly no longer with us but the remaining three ladies have been very gracious and appreciative in permitting this archive recording to be uploaded. In my view it is a fitting tribute to Melanie's memory and indeed, so far as I am aware, the only footage of her in performance that is available for anyone to view, although who knows, maybe there is more that no-one has ever seen...

You can access this upload "Arramaieda (vocal group), Tasmania 1995" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7R0Dg-ihzk. You can read a little more about the history of Arramaieda at the Wikipedia article for Melanie Shanahan, which is already illustrated by 2 still images (frame grabs) from this show, uploaded by myself a couple of years back.

If you have not seen this group before I think you will be impressed by the uplifting power and spirit of their music, all sung (in Melanie's own words on the tape, referring to a former musical colleague) with such heart. The set immediately preceding this portion of the concert was by Mark Robson, another excellent musician, that performance uploaded a few weeks back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1whjfN1zOgE).
