about
Speak Percussion
Artistic Director Eugene Ughetti
Core Member Peter Neville
"...sent the audience once again into a frenzy. It was power playing at its best."
The Age
"At the end, the roar from the floor lifted the roof off the primitive performance space where four young men and one woman dazzled in a display that said all things positive about contemporary entertainment for the now generation."
The Australian
