KINDLING - A Winter Music Gathering

Join us, in the dark of Winter, to ignite some warmth through music, hearty soup and connection with good folk.

The Bellingen Showground Hall will be transformed into a moody haven for this evening of curated indie folk, trad folk & psychadelic folk.

Doors open 5.30pm, music from 6pm

Soup, cake and drinks available for purchase (while it lasts)

We can't wait for tonight's Wintery gathering of folk music and community.

Please read below for important things you need to know for this evening:

PARKING

There is no event parking allowed in the showgrounds. The closest parking is on Black Street and you can walk through the gate there to access the hall.

FOOD AND DRINK

We will have hearty soup for sale (including a vegan option) and cakes while they last.

There will also be a licensed bar at the event for you to purchase beer and wine.

TIMES

Doors are open at 5.30pm (not before)

So join us early to get a hot bowl of soup before they sell out.

Music will kick off around 6.15pm with M.G Barnes, followed by Joseph Fairburn and Bahi to finish the evening

WHAT TO BRING

Anything to make yourself comfy and warm as the hall doesn't have heating. An extra cushion for your chair if you desire, a blanket, and a water bottle to save on single use cups.

You're also welcome to take photos and videos through the evening. Please tag @archive.midnorthcoast on instagram.

His work is a mosaic of dynamic shifts, tempo changes, and unconventional time signatures, creating soundscapes that are as whimsical as they are profound.His lyrics, often exploring themes of dreams, existential wonder, and the mysteries of life, resonate with a sense of poetic intimacy and universal connection.
