18.01.2022 The Wirrina Bluegrass & Acoustic Roots Festival is nearly here! Please share this link with your friends. Lets make this a wonderful celebration of getting through 2020:)
12.01.2022 Woohoo, the Supper Club is back! Andrew Clermont has put together a new combination of fine sounds and souls - with John Duffy Tim Bailey and more. Andrew says: despite the chaos of this last year, Clermont's record of the last year include releasing Totally Gordgeous's 5th CD, 3rd DVD, separate productions for Henk Groot & Katy Jane Kate Battersby; took up piano tuning & some restoring (!); presented his diverse Supper Club at Tamworth Country Music Fest, Nowendoc Summer Fest, The Chicken in the Window Barn series and at Sandford Bush Festival including sound production for them all! Just last month saw him cutting loose at Yungaburra Folk Fest in Far North QLD. So as always ... Expect the unexpected!
07.01.2022 Awesome memories from last year's gathering; thanks Jack Melbourne for the reminder link! https://www.youtube.com/watch
07.01.2022 Nice Verdes and Montz Matsumoto have not been part of our festival before. Montz plays excellent bluegrass, Japanese folk and everything in between, and all going well, he'll be in SA for the festival. The Nice Verdes South American duo usually base themselves between Vancouver and Australia; fortunately for us, they've stayed in Adelaide this year and we get to have them at Wirrina. ... https://www.facebook.com/events/2696911973854243/ See more
06.01.2022 TUESDAY'S UPDATE - ARE WE CANCELLING? - PLEASE SHARE. We, a group of humans passionate like you all about the festival, are feeling a great mix of emotions about the current situation. At present, we are holding off cancelling in the admittedly faint hope the situation may get under control in time for us to go ahead. In terms of cancellations and costs, we have until Friday to commit one way or another; however we are aware that there are many of you who have travel, accomm...odation and work plans etc to consider, and so we intend to make a final call on Wednesday so that we all know where we stand. For the record, our research and advice as of today is that government cancellation of large events is applicable to those of 1000 or more. However we are concerned, as are you, about safety issues. And we will wait and see what announcements are made this afternoon, and possibly tomorrow. It would be heartbreaking to cancel and then find the outbreak has been contained. Granted - this is a very slim hope, and possibly all we are doing is giving ourselves as humans passionate about the festival a small breathing space to come to grips with the harsh reality we are faced with. We are aware that the community has needs for each other and for music, and intend to do our best, within parameters of responsibility, to help address those. We are contemplating a variety of contingencies, and will keep you our festival family updated as we make decisions. This is what we've got for now. Very little more information, but a bit of a glimpse for you as to where we're coming from, and why we haven't made a decision yet. Please hang in with us while we sort out what options are viable, and how we can move forward. Much love to you all.
