Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse:
Guitar brilliance and incandescent vocals.
These exceptional performers connect and capture audiences through the power of song. And it’s made even more special when it’s sung in rare Noongar language.
Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse have firmly established a reputation for bringing a fresh, modern take on ancient traditions; merging evocative sounds, natural acoustic instruments, poignant stories with that incredible, beautiful voice.
The natural rhythms of the language are perfectly captured and represented, and there’s an onstage connection and charisma that comes from two good friends who simply won’t quit.
Australian Indigenous music Icon and National Treasure, Archie Roach, has likened Gina to being a modern day Edith Piaf, telling his audiences that Gina “takes this old, old language, writes and sings these beautiful songs so that we in the audience cannot help but fall in love with the romance of it all.” Performing with the all-important blessings of her elders and her community, this Balladong songbird will leave you breathless!
