This week on Friday Night  Live enjoy two sets of contrasting international and local artists. In the first set we bring you an amazing performance from the young and award winning jazz group The Ilmiliekki Quartet. The Finnish Group performed in Canberra at the Finnish Embassy to a select group of jazz lovers and now you have the opportunity to hear their cutting edge style and innovative compositions on 92.7 or 90.3 (Tuggeranong).

The second set features local jazz enthusiast and poet, Geoff Page, reciting his compositions at the Gods Cafe, ANU accompanied by renowned local bassist Eric Ajaye.

A night of intriging compositions and artistic energy not to be missed!
