A great night at the Sunset Fair... Boy Clemens, MAC Criancas Unidas and a surprise visit from the Prime Minister
Boy Clemens performed at the Sunset Fair's opening night in September and this week he came back for an encore. But this time, when he sang the Sunset Fair anthem "Areia Branca", the crowd sang along with him. This great song has been getting a lot of exposure lately. Boy also had some backing vocals from the Timorese childrens' choir, MAC Criancas Unidas, who were rehearsing with Boy for a concert that is being organised by UNESCO in Dili this Friday.
The picture shows Boy Clemens at keyboards, with MAC Criancas Unidas, as the Sunset Fair Patron, Kirsty Sword Gusmao looks on. Kirsty is also Chair of the National UNESCO Commission (amongst other things) and is the wife of the Timor-Leste Prime Minister (standing at the back, beard and khaki shirt), Xanana Gusmao.
Meanwhile, Kirsty (and the Prime Minister) were being followed by a film crew who are making a fly-on-the-wall documentary about her life and work. In turn, they were being followed by me and other members of the public taking photos of the whole thing.

We were happy to welcome the One More Bar back to the Fair. Gill has become a favourite with FairGoers, for his excellent sausages. He now has a new partner, Rob, who calls himself the Wurst Meister: he makes a big range of different types of sausages and cures his own bacon.   There were a couple of Sunset Fair first-timers, selling BBQ chicken.... and religious statues. |

A word from our sponsors...
A nice mention for the Sunset Fair in the Airnorth newsletter. Dili is just over an hour away from Darwin so it's a perfect quick getaway trip if you like gorgeous beaches, swimming in clear water on beautiful coral beaches and stunning mountain scenery. Airnorth have recently increased services to Timor-Leste and now offer eight return flights each week between Darwin and Dili. The extra services are on Wednesdays and Thursdays - perfect if you want to nip over to Dili for the Sunset Fair on Wednesday night. Check out the link:
