This is really not in the spirit of our people. Next time bring two or three people along to perform together. Thanks for your effort and dedication towards this exhitbition but do justice to the people you represent --your own people. Just a comment.

The pictures look interesting and there seems to be lots of interaction taking place. However, it would be interesting to get an outsider's comments on that performance as well as an insider. I still will have to see you perform here in PNG to really appreciate the value of those presentations/performances you do abroad. From the bilas and what you appear to be doing is all fine and good but one woders if you 're protraying a PNG image abroad that artists like myself will boast about here. I clearly have my own reservations regarding all your performances overseas for that crowd. Thank you. Daniel. Congratulations, Asso.Prof Mel on your performances.
