Kim Dellavedova

Kim Dellavedova solo and accompanied by The Aunties take listeners on a cruisy tour of her Jamaican grooves, acoustic wizardry and heartfelt lyrics. This group continues to delight audiences with friendly, relaxed performances that have brought growing interest to Kim's original song writing and her first album 'Sound'.

Lothlorien

On entering this forest, you find that your own sense of time must be abandoned , time shifts and changes. The enchantment that protects this home of the elves casts a magical wash over life. This creation of Tolkien's holds the themes and inspirations of the band; that of a natural world as a glorious home that must be protected, as well as creating a sense of timelessness and joy through the medium of music.

Mutiny

This crew of the bounty play original folk punk music; an up-tempo mix of fiddle tunes, raucous vocals, guitar, mandolin, bass and drums. They are renowned for their high energy foot-stomping live performances and have had audiences dancing from Ballarat (a small town near Melbourne) to Berlin (I don't need to tell you where that is).

RubyFruitJungle

Hard, driving dance grooves from dub through heavy funk to a tribal style drumming frenzy; searing stop-you-in-your-tracks vocals (plus rich seams of backing harmony) and bags of charismatic energy... as inspirational as it is awesome.
