Ye Birdz
A magical walkabout act featuring stunning stilt costumes, live percussion and a soundtrack by BORG. Two beautiful birds have travelled far from a time long, long ago.
In search of song and dance and drums and a meadow where yellow flowers grow.
On their way a drummer they found who vowed to tag along and entertain the people they meet with drums and dance and song!
Presented by Chicks on Sticks
