Author: Hobart Old Time String Band

A regular gig for us, we managed to divert hundreds (?) of sailors and their landlubbing mates with our nautical attire, and even more noticeable nautical tunes.

Held in the Hobart CBD, it was a fun hour playing our dance tunes in a community venue, with Sarah Lewis calling the dances.

The band yet again took the festival by storm, well maybe by a moderate squall, and arranged a pop-up street performance with the Melbourne-based Lost Clogs Lithuanian band in the main street. It went magnificently, and fun was had by all. Also we managed to hit the 7pm ABC news … again!

 

 

Wearing our recycled hats, we wowed the crowds yet again at Princes Wharf …

Who says the HOT String Band won’t travel! Here we are in a country town hall, just the way it used to be!

An abridged band smelled the flowers at the Sandfly Hall

Tas Folk Federation Dance at Wesley Hall.

We became the Sanitary Strings to help raise funds towards the improvement of toilets in Cambodian villages. A great night was had by all at Sandfly!

Amongst the giant pumpkins, the galloping horses and family circus, an appreciative bull next door joined in on our act.

   

We played a concert bracket and for bush dancing at a wedding in Snug on a beautiful summer’s day.  Much fun was had by all.
