Bellatrix Solo fire @ Beechworth Celtic Festival - November 2007
“Beechworth residents were mesmerized by the fancy feet and hand moves of a fire twirler who helped launch the town’s Celtic Festival last night.
Melbourne’s Tjoni Johansen had the crowd in the palm of her hand as she danced and twirled with fire sticks, all to the sounds of Beechworth’s drumming circle.”
-Sarah Dean (Beechworth local paper)
