Garden Concert at Twangadiddlydoo - Mic Conway, Robbie Long, Gleny Rae Virus
Event description
Mic Conway with Robbie Long
In a circus of comedy, music and magic, Mic Conway and Robbie Long present an hilarious array of idiosyncratic songs that will make your jaw drop, toes tap and sides split. Audiences who know Mic from his days with “Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band” and Circus Oz will be delighted by this incarnation: Mic as storyteller of tall tales and true. There are new songs and some oldies close to Conway’s heart. He croons “It’s Only a Paper Moon” and a heart-breaking version of “Mad World”, dispenses good advice in “Never Bite a Married Woman on the Thigh” and revisits Captain Matchbox classic “My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes” and Tom Lehrer’s “Masochism Tango”. There’s magic, juggling, cavorting and that trademark tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. Stripped back, irreverent, and shameless… it’s surreal vaudeville for crooning and swooning. Unforgettable!
Gleny Rae Virus
Opening the show will be the amazing, one-of-a-kind road warrior and gifted songstress Gleny Rae Virus who has cut a swathe through the folk, country and roots scenes at home and abroad. With a larger than life personality Gleny takes the audience on a journey from Alice Springs to Opelousas Louisiana, from tears to belly laughs and back again with endearing vocals, stories and musical virtuosity!
The Setting
The show takes place in a delightfully pastoral setting under the shade of the trees on our property at Twangadiddlydoo. We have some chairs but bring your own or a blanket to set out on the grass and make yourself comfortable. Bring a picnic, there may be a complimentary glass of fermented grape juice made on the property. Gate opens at 2.30 and the music the show starts at 3.00. Children still attending school and accompanied by adults are free.
Our philosophy
We host our events on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung people of the Kulin nation and acknowledge their long occupation and custodianship of the land here, in our own way we work towards being good custodians of these few acres to ecologically enhance the soil, vegetation and animal life. In this spirit the event is supported by the Upper Spring Creek Landcare Group and the Lockwood South Community Hall committee.
