Why Ross Noble should visit this place?

In 2007 comedian Ross Noble put the word out on his website that he was going to be travelling across Australia and was looking for people to write in and tell him what he should see or do, and even to invite him to drop by.

This was my pitch at getting Ross to come visit my singing group.


Why Ross Noble should visit this place?
The Mia Mia Harmonic throat singing group, at Mia Mia Gallery/Cafe in Westerfolds park Templestowe Vic.

"Otherworldy, angelic, demonic, ambient, lost for words and what the f@ck was that". These are just a few of the typical reactions to the harmonic throat singing practiced at Mia Mia gallery. The lessons are taught by Dean Frenkel, who in 2006 smashed the Guinness World record for 'longest continuous vocal note' by 30 seconds on the Andrew Denton show.

Throat singing sound can be likened to a sonic-whistling-buzz-type hum straight out of the Doctor Who theme song. This sound can be achieved by creating a base note (made in the throat) and then shaping the mouth to play higher-pitched harmonic notes to phenomenal results and 2 to 4 notes sung at once (no wonder they call it the 8th wonder of the world)! It's believed that it initially comes from Mongolia and there is evidence that it's at least 14 thousand years old, so it may be the oldest form of singing known to man. But there are about 20 cultures around the world that practice it, including the half dozen blokes and sheilas that practice the ancient singing at Mia Mia gallery in Templestowe.

This singing group is quite the motely crue as well (not the band). You have the world record holder, plus an 82 year old yoga teacher, a 24 year old lad you works at the strippers, a tradey, a scientist, a lady primary school teacher and a labradoodle.

To top it off, it couldn't be set in a more picturesque native environment than at the mia mia aboriginal art gallery overlooking the majesticly green panoramic bushlands of Westerfolds park complete with kangaroos all over the shop.

So why should Ross come? Let’s recap:
-otherworldly singing of multiple notes in one voice, which the majority of the popular culture has never heard anything like (big call but true),
-picturesque Aussie setting overlooking a panoramic bushlands park with roos,
-motely crew ranging from 82 year old yoga instructor to 24 year old stripper employee,
-a full interactive demonstration and lesson for Ross,
-labradoodle with a roo chasing fetish,
- tea and biscuits.

We would really love to hear back from you. I think this would be ideal for the fizzy logic tour as this is basically fizzy singing.
Cheers,
