Sarah Blasko and QMF Laid In Earth Concert 2009

Last night at a free in Cooktown the weather put on a welcome of wind and drizzly rain. But the show must go on! Sarah Blasko sang as part of the one and only performance of the newly composed work titled 'Laid In Earth' by composer Damian Barbeler.
The afternoon began with the massed percussion piece ‘Mothership’, performed by school children from the region. Following this, new songs from Indigenous Deadly Award winning band Black Image and Sydney’s Kurrawong Ensemble lead into the sunset performance of Laid In Earth, which was introduced with a vocal blessing by the renowned Hope Vale Choir.

Performers included Damian Barbeler, Emma-Louise, Daniel Rojas, community singers from Hope Vale, Rossvilleand Cooktown, Black Image Band and the Kurrawong Ensemble.
