ARTISTS A-Z ADRIAN SHERWOOD (UK)
ALDOUS HARDING (NEW ZEALAND/AOTEAROA)
Adrian Sherwood is a pioneer of bass-dominant, dub-flavoured dance tunes who has inspired and shaped reggae and contemporary electronic music through his label/collective, On U Sound. Since the early ‘80s he has thrown his heart, soul and intelligence into his work, collaborating with big names from outside the dub community as well as shaping his own distinctive sound.
Aldous Harding does more than sing. She shape-shifts through a variety of roles: chanteuse, folk singer and balladeer - all executed with her twisted touch of humour and quiet horror. Her powerful work recently saw her become a finalist in the prestigious Silver Scroll Awards, and scoop nominations in four categories of the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.

A CURIOUS GAME (AUSTRALIA) (BORN IN A TAXI)
A show like no other, where the world of fairy tales and board games collide and the audience become the show!
