Sing a Song of Sixpence | Ballarat
Event description
'Sing a Song of Sixpence' comes to Ballaarat Mechanics' Institute this August!
Songs are magical things: some fall suddenly from the ether, others are a slow labour of love. All songwriters say it. Everyone has heard it. Universally, they’re inspired from personal experiences and observations of life and human nature.
In reverence of such alchemy, Delsinki presents “Sing a Song of Sixpence” - which brings the tradition of a writer's round to audiences. Artists share the bare bones of their songs and the stories behind them. In an intimate and informal setting, it becomes poignant and unpredictable.
Audiences get an insight into the process and the magic and feel closer to the songs as a result. A unique and entertaining heartfelt experience, with some of Australia's finest accompanying musicians sitting in on the show as well.
For the first time ever collaborating together come see seasoned artists mix it with new upcoming artists! Mark Atkins, Alana Wilkinson, Rebecca Barnard and Justin Bernasconi with accompaniment on guitar from Coberg Tipping (Russell Morris) and hosted by Delsinki.
