Photos of first !Thunderrclapp¡ event:

I wish I had the words to explain what went on but  in lieu here are pics taken by Jason Heller.  Nuba Mountains  were breathtakingly exuberant and generous in their performance and music and costumes and a lot of people went out of their way to mention that it was the best thing they had ever experienced!! We are still hearing great comments... Matthew Brown played a great set with his synthesizer trickery and people did all sorts of dancing to the relentless beat-makings.  Ms Butt as  bringing some great eclectic sounds ever so seamlessly! Here are some images.  Thanks to all who came along!
