The legendary group, From Scratch, takes you on a magical sonic journey with original DIY instruments, creating rhythms and sounds and an unforgettable Pacifica message for eyes and ears of all ages. Featuring their stunning historic work, Pacific 3, 2, 1, Zero, their sound and songs are a conch call to the fallout of nuclear testing and climate change on low-lying Pacific islands.

From Scratch presents an upbeat, home-grown rhythmic music style featuring the iconic PVC pipe percussion and other invented instruments – visually and sonically resonant of Aotearoa o Te Moana Nui a Kiwa, the islands and shores of the South Pacific.

The From Scratch touring line-up is Adrian Croucher, Shane Currey, Phil Dadson & Darryn Harkness.
