HOMESPUN ADELAIDE: A Series of Sunday Sessions in the Park

After the success of our first HOMESPUN event in October, we are delighted to be coming back to St. Helen's Park in Prospect every month through until March 2021! Join us for a gorgeous Sunday session of live music, food, drink and Very Good Times indeed.

Back by popular demand, we have our own Clifton Street House Band serving up your fave songs. And we're delighted to announce we have Adelaide's premiere comedy-rock-and-roll-art-musical-mayhem purveyors, George Glass, joining us for November's edition!

With delicious food and coffee provided by the best van purveyors, vintage and vinyl stalls from local sellers and a licensed bar stocked with Sunday sippers, there is no better way to see out the weekend.

Bring a picnic rug, BYO beverages (alcoholic or non), bring a dog and your best people. We are more than ready to rekindle the festival spirit, support local artists and celebrate the return of lazy long summer days!

This event is relaxed, accessible and family-friendly. Food vans to be announced very soon.

NOVEMBER'S LINE UP:

Clifton Street House Band
In March 2020, four full-time professional musicians found themselves isolating together in a beautiful old house in Prospect. They started playing their fave tunes together as a way to combat the existential dread stemming from the severe loss of work within the music and performing arts industry, and are ready to bring some much needed good vibes out into the world.

Now that they're allowed to play with other people, the Clifton Street House Band is a revolving lineup of incredible musos, all gleaned from the house bands that play for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, the Fringe Festival and the homegrown scene. They'll be playing three sets of their (and your) fave songs, new or old or in between, with a few cheeky twists of genre and style. And if you want to hear something specific, you can follow them on instagram at @cliftonstreethouseband and suggest a song of your own to add to their repertoire!

George Glass
Adelaide's premiere genre-defying-rock-and-roll-musical-comedy-band (Scientology: The Musical and George Glass Proves The Existence of God) are back with a brand new theatre-show-gig-play-party hybrid: welcome Art Attack with George Glass!

Paint along to live music with drink in hand. Inspired by 90's kids show sensation, Art Attack, George Glass invites you to join them on stage and paint to the music they play.

"George Glass were weird, fun, and just a little bit more weird... A really unique, fun night out" - Collage Adelaide

How it works: George Glass will provide the soundtrack and inspiration for a giant mural which you, the audience, will be in charge of painting. There are no wrong answers as groups of people are invited to paint for one song to help create a giant collaborative art piece which will tell the story of the night. Armed with a variety of colours and brushes all you need to do is have fun and get lost in the music. Don’t want to get up to paint? No problem, we simply will redraw another raffle ticket and invite someone else! But we think that when you see how much fun it is, you might change your mind.

Ticketing
Entry to this event is by donation. Suggested entry is $10, but if you are feeling the pandemic pinch, you can register for a Pay What You Can ticket and enter for free (or whatever you can afford). And if you are able, you can buy a Pay It Forward ticket, which will mean that your money goes towards somebody else's entry fee. Your money is going directly to the performers and event staff who make this day happen, and beyond this we donate a percentage of any profits to a different local charity each month. Gotta get that good karma feeling!

Further information
St. Helen's Park is accessible by wheelchair, and entry will be from the gates on Prospect Road (opposite Schinella's Market). Please register online for your tickets to guarantee access. Close-proximity parking is available. All attendees will be asked to volunteer basic details on entry for Covid Track & Trace purposes. For more information please contact homespunprospect@gmail.com.
