Opening and Closing Ceremony

Opening and Closing ceremony. At festival 8 this year I will be leading an opening and closing ceremony for the festival, supported my many friends and organisers of the festival. Our intention will be to connect with the land here, honour the guardian and spirits of the land and ask for permission to thoroughly enjoy and play in their space, whilst having respect for the land and everyone around us. We will be asking for their support and assistance in energetically holding the space, so we are safe to let go of our everyday concerns and enjoy the love

Stables

Playing in the Party Barn on Saturday early evening. A great sound and they are making headway in creating a national reputation.

Matthew was working on a new project idea at the time and, after playing through what was to become their first single, 'Steam', at 5 am, the duo was born, and quickly went public four months later. 'Beyond Brushes' (their debut album) was
