If last Tuesday night was a bit of a dull night in, the people from the department of environmental health certainly had a ball at Vox Congo's latest concert. Well it wasn't exactly a concert, it was a conference for the Australian Institute of Environmental Health, but by the time Vox Congo hit the stage...what conference?
It was entertaining to watch as 160 people cleared to the back of the room, not quite too sure what to make of these guys. By the time we were into the second song the floor began to fill with the movemet of bodies to Vox Congo's amazing rhythms.
I was most impressed by the guys with new material, some Vox Congo classics and excellent audience patricipation. Vox Congo were much loved, not only teaching people classic vox Congo dance moves bu even audience participation in the band teaching them to play basic instruments. It's probably the best I've seen from Vox Congo.
The function was held on the stage of the Drum Theatre in Dandenong. The catering and staff were amazing and they looking after the guys very well. Thankyou Drum Theatre and the organizers of the AIEH conference. Special thanks to Tammy Goodwin, Team Leader Environmental Health, Glen Eira City Council, for taking a punt on Vox Congo to play at your function. Thanks for looking after Vox Congo and making them feel so welcome.
Cheers,
Mark
