Hey folks, our good friends at Music NSW have this treat in store for you, it's in Bathurst, but it is always nice to go and visit our eastern neigbours.

What: An In-Person MusicNSW New Wave (formally Sound Advice) session
Where: BMEC, Bathurst
When: Saturday 27th of June
Time: 10am - 1pm
Who: Megan and Chelsea (Great Aunt), MusicNSW programs manager, Caitlin McGregor/CP (also a musician and band manager)

They’re covering all things recording and releasing, its open for anyone to come along, but there is a focus on women and gender diverse folks. It will be a panel discussion diving into building confidence as an artist and finding and building community, followed by a session with CP on curating release plans and other strategies to help you prepare for your next release.
Great Aunt are then running a masterclass covering:
How to pitch effectively
Clear pricing structures when pitching for gigs & festivals
How to navigate and push back against gender bias practically, not just in theory
You can bring forward a track you’re working on, have recorded or are about to release, and receive advice from the panel on how to get your music out into the world.

They’re also running an online session on recording and releasing more broadly on the Wednesday night, 24th June from 6-8pmwith Lola Scott (musician) and Scott Horscroft (producer, engineer) which will have some great takeaways and tools in there too.

The Bathurst Folk Club is very excited to tell you that The Cicada Club have accepted the offer to perform at Folk Club on 20th May at 7.30pm. The Cicada Club is a 4-piece jug band from Central West NSW. They play covers and originals in the style of ragtime, swing and hokum blues. Hot from their success at St Albans Folk Festival.

Entry by donation $20 rec especially as they are a 4-piece ensemble. Ken Smith I can vouch for as I have known him for years, an excellent entertainer, a bit on the quirky side and the others I am sure are excellent too. You are going to enjoy this. It should be a lot of fun. So mark it in your diary now so you don't miss out.

Floor spots always welcome if you care to strut your stuff. Let me know in advance, or on the night. If you want to phone my number, it is 0413673317

See you at Jack Duggans Pub in Bathurst on the 20th!
Regards Jenny

Check what Off The Tracks are coming up with in June, what a night this will be. Opening up with the sweet voice and musicality of Lily. The "from the hip" bass fest of BC, this trio really punches above their weight! Then, the Voodoo Acid Space Kings will bring soaring vocals and polished musicianship, delivering a tight show you won't soon forget. Then to wrap it up, the maniacal mayhem of GGP.....where else would ya be?
Down at the Victoria Hotel, home of the best live and original music in Orange!
