NEXT CONCERT Women in the House

Friday 3 September 2010. 7.30pm
City Diggers Wollongong
Members $10, Non Members $15, tickets at door

September is a big month of music following the great concert we had with Claire Roberts and her Acoustic Women and Jeannie Lewis and Maurie Mulheron.

Well we are following up with a wonderful concert which we will call The Novacastrian Invasion featuring Women in the House except for that dreadful male interloper - Yuri the Russian Story Teller’.

That's That - A Central Coast duo who write original songs about caring for the environment, spiritual enlightenment, love - for the earth, its people, each other....their music is uplifting and inspirational - and their harmonies are absolutely heavenly!

Amanda Broberg - .whom some of you may know, She hails from the Watagan Mountains and she takes songs that you know, wraps them in her own distinctive arrangement with her lovely fingerstyle guitar and mandola, to share a most entertaining musical experience with you.

Maureen O'Brien -.A very perceptive and funny songwriter who will be doing a comedy set on the night with novelty songs [some original] and a little bush poetry.  And they’ll finish off, with a couple of songs – with all the ‘Women in the House’ – as well as the audience joining in.

Then there’s ‘Yuri the Russian Story Teller’ who we haven’t had down here in the Gong for quite a few years. In the familiar, ageless glow of candlelight, Russian born master storyteller Yuri captivates his audiences by creating word images that bind the listener to the magic of a folktale told around an open fire.

He’s not averse to a good poem or two either.As always the facilities of the City Diggers are available including Restaurant, Coffee Shop and lots of Coopers. It all happens at 7.30 pm when the Mystery Muso struts his/her/their stuff.
