At our last music night we enjoyed the awesome talents of multi-instrumentalist singer/song writer Simon Monsour, Rose came out of the closet with her harmonium, and Alistair Melville played an achingly beautiful tribute to his mother on piano. Each music night so far has had its unexpected wonders and moments of magic. On December 18 we'll be celebrating not only Christmas, but our first year of living in intentional community at Bellbunya, so the stage is set for a night to remember. Hope you can join us!
You may wish to stay over at Bellbunya. If you would like your own room, take a look at our accommodation options.
