Gosti at Woombye

Linsey Pollak joins Tunji Beier, Philip Griffin in Gosti.

Gosti, a world music trio comprised of Tunji Beier, Philip Griffin and Linsey Pollak, will perform this month in Woombye.

From the age of 10 Tunji was studying Yoruba drumming in Nigeria. Six years later he travelled to Bangalore in South India to study percussion for three years at the Karnakata College of Percussion.

Philip Griffin’s extraordinary talents defy categorisation as they cross so many areas of musical activity, and Linsey Pollak has created dozens of amazing music projects and toured his solo shows all over the world.

They have performed together in various ensembles such as Ross Daly’s Australian Labyrinth, Dva, dididumdum, Makedonski Bop and the Balkanics to great acclaim.

John Shand in the Sydney Morning Herald described them as being “some of the finest music heard in Sydney for years”.

Gosti play original compositions which are strongly influenced by Macedonian music, but the strength of the trio lies in the fact that they are all great improvisers.

“We are really looking forward to this House Concert in Woombye at Liz and Phil’s,” Linsey said.

The concert is on Saturday 29 July from 7pm (please bring a seat) with sunset drinks from 6pm.

Bookings are essential as space is limited.

Tickets $25 and can be booked at www.trybooking.com/CJGZZ
