2002-THE YEAR OF THE MANDOLIN!

Dave Johnson and Carus Thompson sure did add a touch of class to the recording of this CD.  Thanks fella's.

Can you believe that since the first Moonrise recording in 1995 over a hundred different musicians have performed and made it onto CD.  Not a bad effort for a little Kimberley town like Derby.

Youth is very well represented on this CD.  Around a dozen kids writing their own songs and giving it their best on stage.  That's what it's all about.

Next year is Moonrise number 10 (1994-2003) - what a far out trip it's been.  Thanks to Healthway and Western Metals for their solid support.  So if you love music and true Kimberley soul, see you on the 16th and 17th of May 2003 under the full moon among the Boabs.
