MICK KIDD & DAVE BLIGHT
8.30pm
”Harpin’ Slidin’ Suitcase Stompin’ Acoustic Blues”
Harmonica maestro David Blight teams up with Adelaide award winning guitarist/songwriter Mick Kidd to produce blues with a dynamic sound that almost belies the fact that there are only the two of them on stage- such is the power of their delivery.
AP D’ANTONIO & THE CAPTAIN KIDD BAND
9.45pm
Hailed as Australia’s very own cross between Charlie Chaplin and Bob Dylan, AP brings his passion for country blues and traditional folk music and the promise of an old-time good-time to audiences throughout Australia, and abroad. You cannot help but be drawn in to his captivating performance which blends brilliant musicianship and traditional music played with such warmth, humour and creativity that it will make any event a memorable one.
Before forming genre denying “CAPTAIN KIDD” AP has been seen regularly playing in and around Adelaide in many a nook and cranny for more than 20 years. He has also performed at many festivals, intimate shows and house concerts around Australia. He honed his craft on the streets of Adelaide and willingly took every opportunity possible to nurture his natural talent.
In 2018, AP was invited to audition for The Voice Australia. The little underground folk singer from Adelaide made his mark so emphatically that he performed in the Live Finals to a viewing audience of over a 3 million Australians.

Arvo on The Oval

0 0 31

The music must go on!

Even though COVID-19 restrictions mean that the annual three-day Fleurieu Folk Festival cannot be held this year, the planning committee has come up with an alternative – a wonderful outdoor afternoon concert featuring four well known and talented Australian musicians.

ARVO ON THE OVAL will be staged at the Willunga Recreation Park from 2 pm – 7 pm on Saturday 24 October. Gates open at 1 pm and all guests are required to conform to COVID-safe procedures. Taking to the stage will be Beccy Cole, Libby O’Donovan, Chris Finnen and Amber Joy Poulton.

For over 25 years, Beccy Cole has been delighting Australian music fans with her unique brand of true entertainment. The South Australian star’s glowing warmth, husky tones, bawdy sense of humour and hundred-watt smile have made her one of the nation’s most successful singer songwriters. She has a reputation for bringing an audience to fever pitch and, quite often, stomach clutching laughter!

Libby O’Donovan is renowned for her nuanced interpretations and extraordinary voice. She is a critically acclaimed jazz and cabaret performer and an award-winning musical director. Libby has entertained audiences around the world with her unique talents, performing in New York, Tokyo and Toronto as well as Australia-wide. She is equally at home in small ensemble acts as well as solo performances.

The raw honesty of the blues is the lifeblood coursing through Chris Finnen’s music over four decades. He brings a wry twist to his original blues songs, adding sly humour to the lyrics, musing on everyday experiences and embracing a strong sense of community. His restless musical curiosity has seen him embrace a tapestry of varied cultural experiences.

Amber Joy Poulton is a multi-awarded South Australian singer songwriter and the star of the touring production Coal Miner’s Daughter, which has sold out theatres all over Australia including tours to Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia and Queensland. Amber has always been entranced by traditional classics, how country music ‘used to be’.

In addition to enjoying the music of these talented artists, audience members will find out who has won the annual Judith Crossley Memorial Songwriting Award and hear their song performed in public for the first time. Also the winner of the Peter Thornton Memorial Award which is awarded to young emerging artists chosen by the Thornton family.

To enable COVID tracing, ticket numbers are extremely limited (under 400)
and available ONLINE ONLY through oztix.com.au (NO TICKETS AT THE GATE).
The cost is $60 for adults, $50 concession (holders of government pension concession cards, and student cards), and $50 for those aged 3 – 15 years.

There will be no vehicle access to the grounds except for those with a government-issued disability parking permit.

At the gate, each ticket holder will be given a ‘goodie bag’ containing a mask, sanitiser and a program. Bring your own chairs, rugs, cushions etc. There will be food and soft drinks available for purchase.

PLEASE NOTE: This is an alcohol-free event – no BYO and no on-site sales.
But who needs alcohol when such a fabulous program is on offer?

Look forward to seeing you at ARVO ON THE OVAL.

Catherine Britt’s Bush Pubs Tour with Special Guest Melody Moko

0 0 27

Catherine Britt’s Bush Pubs Tour with Special Guest Melody Moko
Since travelling around Australia in a caravan for over 3 years, Catherine has felt that the music doesn’t seem to reach the bush as much as it should.

She has been doing odd gigs along the way in outback bush pubs and has found that the community is so in need of music and entertainment that they come out in droves thanks to the bush telegraph!

A bush pub is where the community and their families come together and spend quality time.

A meeting place, a watering hole and a shared home for people in the bush.

Catherine wants to go back to the old school ways and bring the music back to the bush – like Slim Dusty did back in the day!

Melody Moko is one of those artists whose style is a natural and heartfelt extension of her personality and perspective on life. Her songs reside under the wide umbrella of Americana yet they inhabit all its intriguing corners, traveling from melancholic alt-country to pining country songs, uplifting pop-tinged revelry and proud and powerful balladry. Her heroes and contemporaries include Brandi Carlile, Tift Merritt, Kathleen Edwards, Fanny Lumsden and Brooke Fraser.

Her first record “The Wreckage” saw her tour both the US and AU, with artists like Tim Rogers, Catherine Britt & The McClymonts, and she received critical acclaim and performed at high profile festivals like Gympie Muster, Groundwater and Spunk’s Thirroul Music Festival.

Her fans showed their faith and commitment by contributing overwhelmingly to her crowdfunding campaign to make her second record with Neilson Hubbard in the USA, and she’s repaid them, and the many more that will get onboard in 2020 and beyond.

There’s a new maturity to this exceptional batch of alt-country songs – in both the depth of emotional connectivity, the richly detailed, world class voice that Melody possesses and the sonic tone and texture of the recordings with the new album being her most realised and honest work to date.

Stuart, Renee and Quinton met in 2003 at an audition in Adelaide. In 2006 the three of them decided to form The Beggars and record their own songs. Songs from their first two albums caught the ears of European DJs and put The Beggars on the charts across the E.U. with The Banjo Song going to the number one spot. Their third Album Australian Songbook launched them on the Australian concert circuit. The band now has 5 albums. They have made 4 tours of Europe and become a regular feature on the Australian touring circuits. See Less
