Month: March 2022

We had a wonderful day playing at the Bream Creek Show in southern Tasmania on Saturday March 19th 2022.

There were some VERY VERY BIG Pumpkins, a race between a human, a horse and a motorbike (after some very entertaining heats), some foot-powered lathe furniture-making, sheep dog demonstrations, woodchopping, gumboot tossing, potato throwing, vintage cars, crafts, arts, machinery, grand parade, kids on bikes, alpacas, the completely fabulous Southside Steppers band, friendly commentary, food, sun, happy crowds, and that’s just the slice we could see from where we were standing!

Sun protected as we were, we all came home with tanned chins (and occasional knees).

Far more strings than you could count, and as many tunes as we could get through! The Hobart Old Time String Band joined a group of Folk Federation dancers, doing folk dances from various traditions – North American contra, Australian, Swedish, Irish and English.

The concert was mostly for a group of visiting music lovers exploring Tasmania by bus, but they welcomed others to join in a night of fun music, singing, dancing and a light supper at New Town, Tasmania.
