Celtic Inspired Music by Tri – 16TH OCT
2.30 pm Sunday 16th October 2022
Pearl Beach Memorial Hall
Enjoy an afternoon of fabulous music by some of Australia’s finest musicians. With a sound that draws on diverse musical heritage and improvisation, Tri seek to strengthen the identity of a ‘New England’ Celtic/World music region, as unique as the rich instrumental folk traditions already established in Australia. Interweaving traditional tunes from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton and Andalusia with new and original compositions and contemporary arrangements.
Tri is a unique melding of the emphatic and energetic fiddling of Kez Watson, the bold and beautiful flute/whistle/uilleann pipe lines of David Carr, the unfettered fretted magic of Stephen Tafra’s grooves and solos on guitars, cemented by the organic and intuitive drumming/percussion of Steve Harris. Tri speak with a unique voice, reflecting an ever-evolving sense of place and heritage while respecting tradition.

Words on the Waves Writers Festival – June 3 & 4
From Darwin to Harden, Queanbeyan to Far North Queensland, we have writers and thinkers joining us from all corners of the country. Together we will ponder why land matters; whether human brains can handle the truth (in an age of Fake News); the benefits of beautiful friendships; what it means to belong; why our politicians like to lie; and whether creative self-expression can lead to luminosity. We will consider death and mortality; representation in the creative arts; and why we love Aussie crime noir. We will hear fiery debate, brave histories and life-affirming stories.
