NEWTOWN FESTIVAL PRESENTS
An Evening With Sally Seltmann, Holly Throsby and Sarah Blasko

A fundraiser for the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre, part of the NNC Festival Series

Sally Seltmann, Holly Throsby and Sarah Blasko are three of this country's most cherished and revered creative voices. Their respective musical and literary output over the last 15 years is both prolific and astounding in it’s quality; they’ve soundtracked some of the world’s most beloved TV shows and films and they’ve performed on festival stages and in venues in every corner of the globe.
