Haunting harmonies on Irish low whistles, expressive and the innovative concertina, sensitivity and richness on guitar and piano and passionate vocals. The Badja River Quartete will take you on a journey from Scotland to Brittany, from Ireland to Northumbria. This imaginative and beautiful music combines the talents of Lainey Balsdon, Steve MacDonald, Jo Cresswell and Jane Harding. Three’s Company Three’s Company is the missing link between Buddy Holly, 12th Century Cathars, Pete Seeger and The Kinks. This vocal trio made up of Belinda Bennett, Christina Mimmocchi and Tom Bridges enjoy making vibrant harmonies and presenting old favourites. Folklore Rosie MacDonald (Mothers Of Intention), Steve MacDonald (Badga River Quartet) and Anthony Woolcott (Triantan)- three musical wanderers, playing a mix of traditional and contemporary folk. two guitars, three voices and a whole lot of love for good music and good company. Letting the music and verse tell their stories and taking us to a timeless place. Blue Goose In the late 1980’s Whistling Goose, one of Sydney’s favourite jug/folk/goodtime bands, came to an end after more than a decade of entertaining Sydney audiences. Blue Goose represents the renewal of the musical relationship between three of the members of Whistling Goose. It combines Sonia Bennett’s powerful vocals and guitar with the multi-instrumental musicianship of Max Gregory and Bruce Stavert and Andy Stavert on bass. Blue Goose brings together a broad range of musical experience and skill and a love of music in many guises. Their many original compositions, interspersed with refreshing interpretations of songs of many genres old and new, combine with a whimsical approach to playing that makes them fun and great to listen to. Sonia Bennett (vocals & guitar) - Sonia is one of Australia’s most celebrated singer/songwriters. Not only has she written and recorded many renowned songs such as ‘The Wollemi Pine’ and ‘Sydney Song’, she has also recorded settings of poems by Henry Lawson, Denis Kevans, Billy Wye and others. She has performed on radio and television many times over a career spanning 30 years. Max Gregory (blues harp, slide guitar, banjo & acoustic guitar) - Max has played folk/blues/jug band music since the 1960s backing various vocalists and in many bands. Bruce Stavert (piano, guitar, mandolin, ukulele & vocal harmonies) - Bruce has played a mixture of styles in folk/jug band/ bluegrass/rock/blues/jazz groups since the early 70s. Ralph Mitchell (bass, guitar & vocal harmonies) - Ralph teaches guitar and bass. He is also an experienced musician who plays a variety of styles including folk, blues, jazz and rock.
