12.00pm: The Whisky Gypsies
Imagine the sound of a mandolin piercing a misty morning forest, or a fiddle evoking merriment amongst a colonial miners swell in some distant gold rush gathering, and you will begin to let the Whisky Gypsies musical magic capture your soul and spirit…The Gypsies’ music is reminiscent of the sound of a summer evening sea shanty, an Olympic dive belly flopping in slow motion….Catchy singalongs to raucous reels and jigs take help take the Whisky Gypsies’ Celtic, bush and roots-inspired music down a road less travelled…
