East Arnhem Land’s Garrangali Band (pictured) left a BIG impression on Sydneysiders after playing two successful gigs at the Old Manly Boatshed in Sydney last week – to not one, but “four encores”!

Also making the front page of Manly’s local paper The Manly Daily, the 11 members of Garrangali Band were also snapped on the streets of inner-city Sydney in traditional dress, making their way to one of the gigs!

Congratulations Garrangali Band!
