Things of Stone & Wood's GREG ARNOLD & TOBY MAY (Switzerland/UK)

 
Things of Stone and Wood's Greg Arnold is touring Victoria for a super special run of shows with a super special buddy!

The ARIA and APRA awarded singer-songwriter will be joined on stage by Switzerland's Toby May in what promises to be an absolutely unique showcase of songwriting, from here ... to the other side of the world.

The two first met when Greg lived in Geneva where they produced records and toured the UK, France and Switzerland together and now, they are bringing it home to Victoria. 

Greg is best known for his two top ten albums, The Yearning and Junk Theatre, his top four radio played single 'Wildflowers' and the big one - his evergreen contribution to the Australian songbook - Happy Birthday Helen. 

Toby is the quintessential musical journeyman: a producer, a multi-instrumentalist but always first and foremost, a singer-songwriter and 'poptimist'.

While people can expect to hear some more classic Things of Stone and Wood songs (Rock This Boat, Share this Wine and Single Perfect Raindrop) as well some crackers from his extensive solo catalogue, they can also enjoy the evocative work of Toby in what will ultimately be a show by two kindred spirits, both of whom share a love of the simple and honest communication of singing a song and strumming on a guitar.

With songs and stories from two lives spent on the great international acoustic singer-songwriter highway, the Peninsula SongRiders special show promises to be moving, fun and uplifting.

DAVID BRIDIE

Seven time ARIA award winning artist David Bridie has enjoyed a distinguished career as one of Australia’s most loved and innovative musicians.  

A founding member and songwriter of critically acclaimed musical groups Not Drowning Waving and My Friend The Chocolate Cake, Bridie has also maintained a substantial career as a solo artist releasing six albums (so far!). 

My Friend the Chocolate Cake delivered numerous hits and ARIA awards, and toured extensively around the country to festivals and sold out concert halls. 

As a producer Bridie has worked with Christine Anu on her debut album “Stylin Up”, as well as Archie Roach on his acclaimed “Jamu Dreaming” record as well as projects with Frank Yamma, Telek and many others. 

Not one to be categorised, David has firmly established himself over the last thirty years as a music theatre director and screen composer. He has scored the soundtracks for over 100 international and Australian films, television series and documentaries earning numerous AFI AACTA and Screen Music awards. 

Performing live is David’s first love, and he is currently on tour playing work from all his numerous projects interspersed with stories from his substantial career. For these intimate shows David will perform at the piano and is joined by guitarist Rosie Excess.  

“In times of great darkness the only thing left is to believe in the warmth of our hearts once again.”

— David Bridie

“Sonic intensity and righteous rage hit the red… a beguiling exception…. an ambient agitator.”

– Rolling Stone

“…a clear understanding of the compelling ambience that can be created by the interplay of lyrics, music and images…”

― Sydney Morning Herald

SATURDAY 3rd MAY 6PM - 9PM

Barry Morgan's Home Organ Party Experience

(+ Nicky Bomba ;)

 

Barry Morgan rose to fame after his much-loved appearances on ABC’s Spick and Specks. Since then, he has taken his beloved organ on the road, demonstrating the almost realistic sounds and showing how you can become an organ maestro using his soon-to-patented one-finger method in the comfort and safety of your own lounge room.

Barry’s hilarious performance is an utterly charming aural and visual feast that is not to be missed. With enough cheese to match his 1000-watt smile combined with his keen sense of fashion and style, it's a memorable musical experience that will have you begging for more Campari, more organ, and a little Bex Powder to calm your nerves.

Special guest Nicky Bomba..say no more :)
