From performing to an estimated audience of 200,000 on Australia Day 1999 to a dance with the Dayaks in a jungle clearing in central Borneo, there is no band in the world with the experience of Sirocco. They reflect the creativity, popularity, charm and humour (and a touch of larrikinism) that is the spirit of modern Australia. Their instruments range from Middle Eastern flutes to Irish drums to modern synthesisers. Their performances take their audience on a voyage around the world on a magic carpet wove from their exotic instruments. Just like modern Australia, they distill the best from the cultures that make up our country and produce a unique Australian style. At one minute the soft lyrical air on an Celtic flute to a raucous infectious dance beat on didgeridu and Turkish drums.

Their concerts take them overseas representing the modern Australia. Countries like Pakistan, USA, Indonesia, Nepal, India, Philippines, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, the Russian Far East, Sri Lanka and Singapore. In Australia they have composed music and performed in distinctly Australian environments such as the Macquarie Marshes, Cape Byron, Narracourte Caves and the Warrumbungles.

An ensemble of such energy creativity, tenacity and sheer virtuosity - they should be regarded and a national treasure
