Midnight messages

‘REGGAE IS music for dancing and grooving. Reggae is a feeling, an attitude that says listen to the people because we sing of hope and peace and truth, but mostly we sing about connectedness.’ Arts Deloraine presents Midnight Messengers, a band held together by respect for the ideology and the grooves sent from Jamaica to the world by the legends of reggae, with Bob Marley as the main spokesperson. ‘We love playing it and we love seeing people enjoy it.’ Midnight Messengers are a stellar line-up of passionate reggae-loving musicians. Fronted by Neil Gibson, the band includes Tessa Lee, Josh Berryman, Fintan McCullough, Ian Howard, Bruce Innocent, Steve MacFarlane, Mike Lizotte, Teresa Beck-Swindale and Pete Rissie. They will be supported by Meander local Eddie Tujela. Midnight Messengers perform on Saturday 22 February at the Little Theatre in Deloraine. Bar 7.30pm, music 8pm. No BYO. Tickets $25 door or $20 pre-sale/Arts Deloraine members at the Alpaca Shoppe or online at www.trybooking. com/596657.
