Event description
Gyan says - "This night is going to be very special for a few reasons,the first being i have never played in Armidale meeting up with some very dear friends and a bigger plus getting to play with one of your own, Kez Watson (violinist). We are on route to playing the Heritage Festival in Gulgong Opera House and have the opportunity to play at the Armidale Studio on the way. We hope to see you at the warm and cosy Armidale Studios for a special intimate concert."
ARIA award winning artist, GYAN sings for one night only in The Armidale Studio accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Simon Greaves and special guest Kez Watson on the violin.
‘Is it really possible to be totally original? Certainly Gyan seems to elude easy categorisation in her determination to find sounds, silences and lyrics that are unpredictable, never clichéd. ... intensely beautiful, emotionally honest, sensitive and seductive... The more you listen, the more you will fall in love with Gyan’s unique talent.’ Bruce Elder - The AGE
