i’ve seen this woman before somewhere. She plays a very good innocent character, pretending to be no-one in particular, who then goes on to take the audience’ breath away with her incredible voice. So as well as buying her cd, i went out hunting on the youtubes and found these live performances, from a show in Melbourne in 2008: “Yego Luelku (Leave Me Alone)”

Wait, there’s another one: “All My Wives”.

And here is a video where she’s interviewed on her experience of being Sudanese in Tasmania. (Just skip past the hokey travelogue at the start.)

She appeared as the game show guest in Trent McCarthy’s “Dr Game Show”, showing at the Northcote Town Hall. Kevin Kropinyeri was the other third of the show, giving us his Aboriginal Game Show. He’s very funny, and more than a little bit wrong in his comedy.

[Spoiler warning: after the break]

We all went because the wonderful Sam and Booshie were also in the show. That’s right Samara “Hotseat” Hodson owes all her success (on Eddies Hotseat show) to the advice she received from Trent McCarthy. Apparently. According to the promo on the big screen above the stage.

Hilarious.

Trivia: Trent is also a Greens Councillor for Northcote.
