Here is a picture of the man himself:
Despite various health problems, Fortune made an arduous journey to the Binga area of Northern Zimbabwe to buy the wooden carvings which we have in our show, and the richness and variety of his own sculpture that we have on display is an eloquent testimony to his skill.
Henry Olonga for his encore on Friday gave us a fine performance of Nessun' Dorma. As you probably know, the last word in that is "Vinceró", or "I shall triumph". The photo below shows Fortune's work in the foreground, with Henry behind and the cross of Jesus to remind us of our Lord who died but rose to triumph.
