Unwind to the soothing soulful sounds of Ohmasoul, featuring Jemimah (vocals) and James (keys), as they put their own spin on an eclectic collection of pop, gospel, jazz and soul songs.
The Imprints are back, consisting of locally born and internationally trained violinist, Willow Stahlut (ex Gypsy Hot Club), and nationally regarded musician/percussionist, Linden Lester. From many appearances at Glastonbury, Edinburgh Fringe, Big Day Out, Splendour, across North America, Berlin, Copenhagen, above the Arctic Circle, deep in the tropics and again at next Woodford Festival...this will be an exceptional night. Dynamic violin and drum kit duo. World music meets dance music.
Vinnie and the Cuban Missiles are so excited to be playing at the opening of a fabulous new venue. It is simply the best space to have a few drinks while listening to some live music. They will be playing to 8.30pm, followed by the fabulous James Bennett at 9.00pm.
