23.01.2022 I've been a bit slack keeping FB up to date but I'll blame Christmas and NY etc - we've been having too much of a good time. We advertised on rather short notice that we're co-operating with David Lonsdale of Lonsdale Party Hire to have a great gig in the old Thomson Brook Church. David purchased the old church and talked to us about the potential. We loved the idea and a great group, Beautifully Mad, happened to approach us at the same time. It's all come together for a grea...t evening at the Church, about 15km from Donnybrook on Sunday 15th January and Beautifully Mad will be the stars. Google them to see some of their Youtube clips. They are both highly talented muso's with Gold and Platinum labels to their name, not to mention an ARIA Songwriter of the Year Award. Unfortunately for some, the show is completely sold out - you need to book early if we have indoor gigs as seating is limited. Beautifully Mad are also appearing at Cape Lodge, Yallingup, on Thursday 12th January. If you're interested in that show (and we're happy to recommend it), flick us a pm or email us at: [email protected]

21.01.2022 Hercules always loves the Music Shack shows - sometimes the kids feed him but he likes the music too. He even likes to help and this is him helping Judy get the stage lights ready for Friday night when Simon and Tammy London will be here. The weather looks promising and we know the music will be great - it's looking like another enjoyable night and we're looking forward to it.

20.01.2022 Only two weeks to go before the lovely Emily Barker returns to the Music Shack. This time accompanied by double-bass player Lukas, it's going to be a great show - at the Music Shack, Sunday 25th November 2018/ Early this year Emily was awarded the Artist of the Year for the UK Americana Awards it has a huge following in the UK. The Americana genre draws on country, roots-rock, folk, gospel and bluegrass to become a style of its own whatever, we like it. Tickets only $25 a...nd are still available but must be purchased before the show - no door sales. Email Vince and Judy at: [email protected]

20.01.2022 Good news announced today by Loren Kate from Adelaide - she's on her way here for our gig on Thursday 15th December. Tickets aren't available until some time in November but put the date in your calendars. You'll love her - we do <3 <3 You can catch snippets of her work on her FB page:... https://www.facebook.com/lorenkatemusic/?fref=nf

19.01.2022 Wow, what a night we had with The Once last night. Geri, Phil and Andrew gave us a truly memorable evening of great harmony and beautiful music. It was a good crowd and the weather was kind - just slightly cool but no wind, so it was pretty good. These Canadian singers, Geri, Phil and Andrew, were great company and mixed readily with anyone who wanted to chat during interval and after the show. Lots of autographed CD's and photos - the kids all enjoyed the experience.

19.01.2022 We enjoyed our weekend at the Fairbridge Festival a couple of weeks ago and it was great to see many friends from down this way also enjoying the show. There were some fantastic performers and we particularly enjoyed the singers in these couple of photos. Loren Kate from Adelaide (seen here with her partner Charlie) and closer to home, from Torbay, were Simon and Tammy London. Who knows, we might see them here at the Shack one day - they're good.

18.01.2022 We had a lovely evening with Loren Kate from Adelaide last night. The crowd enjoyed her story telling and the great songs arising from some of the stories. Some were sad, but there was a recognisable strength and lots of love coming through too. If you get a chance you should try to see Loren performing somewhere - she's great. Here's a couple of shots from the evening and of course, the compulsory host shot with Judy and Vince :)

16.01.2022 Less than two weeks to go before our evening with Beautifully Mad on Saturday 19th January. We're looking forward to another night of fun and laughter as these two brilliant musicians share their songs and music with us. Last time Tony and Krys came we had a sell-out crowd and more favourable comments sent to us than any other concert - that speaks for itself, it will be a great night.... There are still seats available but tickets must be pre-purchased - there will be no gate sales. For tickets. send an email to [email protected] or phone Vince or Judy on 9731 2004.

14.01.2022 Beautifully Mad gave us their best last Saturday and their best is very, very good - it was a memorable show and the good crowd loved them. Nina Vox and Tony King are a dynamic duo that sing and play a wide range of music - all fantastic. Wherever you are, if you haven't seen Beautifully Mad, find out where they are - they're worth seeing. Another good alternative is to buy their albums - available on line.... My favourites were Diamonds on the soles of her shoes - and of course, Vincent. Both amazing versions.

14.01.2022 Emily Barker and Lukas dropped in today on their way through to Bunbury for tonight's gig. They will be with us tomorrow night and it's going to be a great show. Lukas will be playing our son Damian's double-bass. It's a bit hard to carry a double-bass around when you're touring - it's not quite so bad with a guitar. We're looking forward to the gig on Sunday night - 25th November - that's tomorrow at the moment There's room for a few more but it's getting full. Most of ...the gang arrive soon after 6.00 for a bit of friendly get-together, why not join us. Give us a ring on 9731 2004 for tickets. No gate sales - sorry.

14.01.2022 Two weeks to go until we have The Once with us - Friday 4th March. They have had remarkable success since their first album in 2009 when some stranger having heard them, donated the funds to produce the album. Numerous CD's later and following the release of their latest album Departures in August 2014, they have performed over 170 shows in 17 countries, half of which were in support of the international pop-sensation Passenger’s world tour.... It's going to be a good night - For tickets, email [email protected] Check them out on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHVlKh67Gik

10.01.2022 A good night at the Music Shack last night. All Our Exes Live In Texas delighted the full house with their close harmonies and entertaining program. On such a balmy evening and with such delightful singers the happy crowd couldn't help but enjoy the night.

10.01.2022 A good time was had by all last night with the Storyville Jazz Band concert. A near capacity crowd enjoyed the foot stomping good ol traditional Dixieland jazz versions of many old favourites. This band started in 1973 but they still turn out good music. We had many positive comments from those attending. Storyville gave great value too and the show didn't end till well after 10.00pm.

10.01.2022 We had a rip roaring indoor show last night with Gordie Tentrees and Jaxon Haldane from Canada. They're on a 30 day Australian tour with more than 25 shows. From us they go on to the Fairbridge Music Festival and then head home. Our lounge was rather full but it was a good fun crowd and a great show by Gordie and Jaxon. They'll be worth looking out for at Fairbridge. They're both good singers, songwriters and instrumentalists. It was my birthday a couple of days ago and Jaxon played Happy Birthday on the saw and Gordie led the crowd singing - a pretty good effort too :)

09.01.2022 We had a very enjoyable evening last week with Gallie and Paddy performing in the lounge. Gallie performs mostly his own works and he has written some great songs. He is ably backed by the guitarist and vocalist Paddy Montgomery. They arrived from Melbourne on Wednesday morning and performed here that night. It was a full house and we are sorry to those folk who were unable to procure seats - when the lounge is full, that's the limit. We have three more concerts coming up during summer and we'll tell you more about them in our newsletters to our mailing list.

08.01.2022 We had a really enjoyable concert with Simon & Tammy London from Torbay on Friday evening the 10th March. It got very cold when the sea breeze settled in but we rugged up and survived a good night. Here the early arrivals were settling in to picnics and some pre-show conviviality and the other shot is my attempt at the difficult task of capturing the tree-lighting contrasting the bright lights of the stage. (Needs to be viewed on full screen.)

07.01.2022 The little church is all ready to roll for the concert tonight. The weather should be great for the barbie before the 7.30 show. It's a full house and it looks like a great night with Beautifully Mad. We're looking forward to it :)

04.01.2022 A wonderful night at the old Thomson Brook church on Sunday 15th January with Beautifully Mad - Kris Ralph and Tony King. The church was full and we all had a barbecue outside before the concert began. It was nice to see John Thomson in attendance. John is the grandson of the original landowners who donated the land and paid for the church back in 1909. Also there were Sue and Ian who were married in the church. It was a generous gesture on the part of the new owner, David L...onsdale of Lonsdale Party Hire in Bunbury. It's nice to see the church being preserved and again providing community activity. Some people travelled a long way for the event but the bulk of the crowd were very regular Music Shack fans and it was great to see you all.
