Central Coast physical drumming ensemble, The Rhythm Hunters performed at parliament house in Sydney last month. The occasion was the NSW local government cultural awards ceremony, held for the first time ever.

 The cultural awards ceremony acknowledged innovations and successes within the ranks of local government for artistic and cultural endeavor. The Rhythm Hunters were recommended by Gosford City Council to represent the region extending from the Hawksbury to Newcastle and inland to the Hunter. 

Group members Rendra Freestone & Sean Cadogan made the coast proud bringing ‘Drumming Thunder’ onto the lavish marble floors & high ornate ceilings of the historic building.

 The Rhythm Hunters manager Cherry Sojoski was swept up immediately with enquiries regarding the group. “I was really proud to be working with these guys at such an prestigious event, they really turned heads” said Sojoski. 

Other performers on the evening included the world class Martinez Brothers, Aboriginal dancers from Tweed Heads and a Sydney based Belly Dance troupe.
