Arif Lohar
Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (13:54): Saturday night was the time to be in Ballarat if you are into Indian folk music like I am. I went along to see Arif Lohar. I do not know if you know Arif Lohar, but he is the king of folk in the Punjab province. It was an amazing performance. There was a packed house in the Wendouree Centre for Performing Arts, and he gave a whopping good performance. It was just amazing. We had lights, dancing and everything that you could think of. I want to really acknowledge the Ballarat Indian and Ballarat Pakistani communities, who all flooded the venue and were there in droves supporting Arif Lohar, who is an absolute superstar.
