the market of wintery goodness ♥

 

So, it's getting kind of chilly in these parts and there's lots of crafting going on behind closed doors.  We're looking forward to a lovely day in the sun on June 4 to show you all our collected crafty treasures  - there will as usual be some new creations by new and old stallholders, and live music from the Conservatorium's cushion concert.  Last month was the first time in many many months that it was good enough weather for the musicians to brave it as well, which we crafters were pretty excited about, and so were the lovely folk of Lismore who popped by for a visit. Stay tuned for an update of the musicians who will be playing alongside the next market, and also for an interview with one of our fabulous makers.  We'll keep you posted ♥

Okay - so here's the lowdown on the live music.  We're hoping for another beautiful sunny day so we can enjoy the music in the outside with the markets... Either way, we'll all be there inside or out.

11.00am – 11.40am: Dan Brown and Shelly Hughes

11.55am – 12.35pm: Romaniacs

12.50pm – 1.30pm: Repentance Creek Sinners (Kristina Olsen and Al Hughes)

 

Dan Brown and Shelly Hughes are one of the region’s busiest musical couplings. They form part of Red Bantoo, who are known for their original mix of Electronica and Jazz, beat driven and soulful tones.  Dan and Shelly have toured nationally and internationally in a variety of musical incarnations and the North Coast is lucky to have them call it ‘home’.  With Dan’s keyboard stylings and Shelly’s lush vocals, you are sure to be delighted with the mix of blues, jazz and soul they dish up.

The Romaniacs music is inspired by Gypsy, Folk, Latin, Celtic, and Spanish roots grooves.

Leo Glass, Guitars, Bouzuki, Vocals

Phil Levy,  Guitars Mandolin, Vocals

Guy Madigan, Cajon, Darabuka  Percussion.

Kristina Olsen and Al Hughes as the Repentance Creek Sinners

Kristina Olsen, USA and Al Hughes, Australia have teamed up before playing original music by Kristina, but the pair met at a jam playing nouveau  bluegrass.  This concert will highlight the music that brought them together.  The pair will be mixing and matching on guitar, banjo, dobro, mandolin, slide guitar and vocals, a wild mix of tunes and songs from a wide variety of styles played on traditional bluegrass instruments
