Step off the street and enter an enchanted world beyond time!

Experience the magical realms of Celtic and Scandinavian folklore and mythology performed through live music, storytelling and poetry.

Exquisite songs of beauty, love and loss, spellbinding tales of giants, dragons, witches and fairy queens, verses proclaiming unsung heroes emerging triumphant from the bloodiest of life's battles, await your eyes and ears.

Three amazing performers will impart to you the wisdom, wonder, horror and humour of human existence as seen through the eyes of our Celtic and Nordic ancestors in a rich array of ancient, traditional and contemporary genres of music and spoken word.

Audience participation is encouraged! We invite you to wear fancy dress themed on Celtic/Viking/medieval/fairy/elf/troll/magickal styles. And you may at some point find yourself being part of a poem, story or song!!

Please note that there is no bar at the venue, but you can BYO.

Doors open 7.00 p.m.

OUR PERFORMERS

JESSE MCCORMACK

With his clear, bardic voice, deeply imbued sense of rhythm, and intense devotion to his craft, Tasmanian troubadour Jesse McCormack performs Anglo-Celtic and Nordic folk songs and quirky original compositions. His minstrelsy escorts listeners into an experience of folkloric storytelling, conjuring a sound reminiscent of artists such as Steeleye Span or Loreena McKennitt and vibes of bohemian Achilleanism.

ALASDAIR GREENBARD

Alasdair draws upon a rich tradition of Celtic mythology, poetry and folklore from his ancestral heritage, academic work and time spent in Gaelic-speaking communities in Scotland. With his harp Ètaìn, Alasdair does the work of a modern-day bard, connecting himself and others with the deeper intelligence of Nature, and with the wild wisdom inherent in the collective unconscious, brought to vivid life in the here and now with story and song.
