Gert Van Santen was a member...

It was a privilege to bring Clifford Whites music to Sequences, with tracks from his 4 albums in the S...

As I reported in our last edition, the heat here in Oz has certainly risen to the high 30’s, with a serious outbreak of 125 bush fires in Queensland now, thankfully not on the scale those poor souls in California had to endure.
