THREE
Lamma bands playing at the recent Rockit festival in Victoria Park:
Garoupa, Nude and Polyrhythm. And the famous native-Indian Tipi from Lamma
made an appearance as a chill-out place for Lammaites and backdrop for
another great Drumjam by Kumi & friends.
Garoupa made it into the SCM Post as the Pick of the Day,
described as "Lamma-based band Garoupa open the
Rockit Festival, with a mix of original acoustic-based blues/rock/ funk
and Moroccan songs."
The SCMP even used this photo I shot of them during their
gig in the Bookworm Café on July 15, but in B/W only.
Enjoy these pictures of a weekend full of sunshine, great
music, international & local bands and many friends from Lamma Island.
