Eric Bogle
Archie Roach is Australia’s beloved, respected and admired Aboriginal singer/songwriter with a voice and sensibility that is this country’s most important song line. Archie captured our hearts and minds with “Charcoal Lane” and the landmark song “Took The Children Away”. In 2010 he lost his partner Ruby Hunter, he later suffered a stroke, and in 2011 he was diagnosed with the early stages of lung cancer. In the aftermath Archie has turned to joy and hope expressed in his brand new album Into The Bloodstream – and his life affirming live shows. Skin Choir compose and perform songs based around themes of cultural identity, mainstream stereotyping and urban living.

sKIN CHOIR
Eric Bogle is one of the most popular artists ever to appear at the festival and we’re ever so pleased that he has agreed to return to Brunswick in 2013 to help us celebrate our 25th Anniversary! To add to the occasion Eric will be bringing his full band, lead of course by his long time partner in crime John Munro on mandolin, guitar and vocals, Emma Luker on fiddle and Pete Titchener on electric bass. A literate and thoughtful songwriter who can cut to the heart of the matter with a well-crafted line, Eric Bogle is a warm and engaging stage performer with a sharp, often self-deprecating wit and shrewd, common sense worldview, drawing audiences into his performance.
Dougie MacLean is one of Scotland’s most successful, respected and popular musicians. A singer-songwriter, composer and ‘magical’ performer, he is also a fine guitarist and fiddle player. From his home base in Butterstone near Dunkeld in the beautiful Tay Valley in Perthshire Scotland, MacLean tours the world with his unique blend of lyrical, ‘roots based’ songwriting and instrumental composition. Born and brought up in Glasgow and spending part of her youth in the Outer Hebrides, Fiona Ross served her apprenticeship as a singer in Edinburgh’s vibrant song sessions of the 90’s. She has formed a wonderful musical partnership with Melbourne fiddle player, guitarist and singer Ken Maher.

Finbar Furey Saoirse
Mary Coughlan
Kelly Auty & Boris Conley
Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club
Finbar Furey was, for many years, the lead singer and front man for the legendary Irish band The Fureys. An accomplished singer songwriter, banjoist, guitarist, flautist and tin whistler, Furey is hailed as Irelands “Prince of Pipers”, having won every known uilleann pipe title, including three all Ireland Championships and popularising the pipes worldwide. A man of great musical passion and a pioneer for the cause of Irish music, Finbar Furey has carved a special place for himself in the world of music and in the hearts of millions of people. Melbourne’s own Saoirse give a little of everything: heart wrenching love songs, beautiful ballads, hand clapping, toe tapping jigs and reels and even some Irish step dancing.
2012 saw the release of “The Whole Affair: The Very Best of Mary Coughlan”, a testament to her timeless, infinite talent. Her smoky, bluesy, boozy drawl has always been a seduction, no matter the subject. Throughout her extraordinary recording career, Mary has drawn heavily from her legendary heroes; Billie Holiday’s grievous, teary outpourings, the husky flirtations of Peggy Lee, Van Morrison’s soulful wails, the defiant chanteusery of Edith Piaf. All are present and correct in her delivery. Even so, Mary, with her naked honesty makes every song her own; they belong to her and nobody else. Kelly Auty & Boris Conley offer a set of French, Folk, Country and Blues delicacies.
The musical partnership between Alasdair Fraser, long regarded as Scotland’s premier fiddle ambassador, and the sizzlingly-talented young Californian cellist Natalie Haas realises Alasdair’s dream to return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music. Together they display dazzling teamwork, driving, dancing rhythms, and their shared passion for improvising on the melody and the groove of Scottish tunes. The wonderful community music organisation that is the Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club continues to learn, perform and add to the great music of the Scottish fiddle tradition.

Chris Smither MARISA YEAMAN Chris Smither is renowned for his alluring baritone vocals, superb song writing and outstanding musicianship. He is a proud carrier of a true American tradition, regularly performing masterful arrangements of some of the classic African American blues tunes. His own songs display a wry, intellectual, deep look at it all, “on the outside looking in”, as one of his best new songs describes. This is Chris’ third Brunswick appearance and this time he brings his new album Hunderd Dollar Valentine. Marisa Yeaman’s songs are worn off the edges of country, mixing the soulfulness of the blues with the literal sensibility of modern day folk.She is joined by Carl Dedic on Lap Steel and guitars.

The Meyhane of yesteryear greeted its eclectic audiences with violins, ouds, lutes, sazs, upright pear-shaped fiddles, cane flutes, subtle percussion and enchanting vocals. Meyhané is a newly formed ensemble of Melbourne-based musicians, united by an undying passion for performing the finer forms of traditional music from Anatolia, The Balkans and eastern Mediterranean.

BRUNSWICK CLASSIC FILMS TABU - F.W. MURNAU (1931) with soundtrack performed and composed by Mike Cooper TABU (1931) by F.W.Murnau was the very first silent film that I performed a live soundtrack for, and it is still one of my favourites and most popular. Commissioned in 1995 by the Brunswick Music Festival, I have performed it all over the world at festivals, cinema clubs, art galleries, in folk clubs, university media departments and even in someone’s living room. I first saw TABU one afternoon on Italian TV. At the time I was heavily involved in researching and playing Hawaiian music and the film seemed to be the perfect context for me to play some acoustic lap steel guitar licks. Mike Cooper Booking No.

Brunswick Womens Choir
La Voce Della Luna
Shaking The Tree
Sweet Mona’s Choir
Started in 1991, Brunswick Women’s Choir is one of Australia’s longest standing female choirs. Under the direction of Cathy Nixon, the choir continues to impress and move its audiences with songs that reflect the passions, sorrows and triumphs of life. Judy Small needs no introduction. She has defined a style of Australian contemporary folk song that provides a model for new generations of Australian song writers. Her songs are sung all over the English-speaking world in concert halls, at political rallies and around campfires, and after more than 30 years in the music business she is still going strong.
La Voce Della Luna (The Voice of the Moon) is an intergenerational Italian Women’s choir founded in Melbourne in 1996 by Kavisha Mazzella.They are a sassy group of women who sing from the Italian popular and folk tradition. They are accompanied by multi instrumentalist Phil Carrol on Accordion, and for this show they will be joined by their special guests Rosa Voto and The Melbourne School Of Tarantella. ARIA award winner and songbird Kavisha Mazzella is an exceptional songwriter with ingredients of humour, poetry, social justice and the spiritual. Combine this with the voice of an angel and you have the experience of a Kavisha concert.
One of Melbourne’s most vibrant and exciting choirs and a definite festival crowd favourite, twelve-yearold Shaking The Tree choir are led by professional performer Bronwyn Calcutt, and accompanied by skilled membermusicians on accordion, guitar, tsouras, whistle, ukelele and percussion. The choir sings her unique arrangements of gypsy, gospel, funk, and world music with a strong commitment to themes of social justice and freedom. Bronwyn Calcutt is a multi-skilled performer and artist in the community. She has appeared at major national festivals with her one-woman shows Piaf Sings Freud and Disenchantment (directed by Robyn Archer).
Sweet Mona’s Choir is a renowned gospel and world music ensemble. The majority of the choir’s repertoire is Gospel, but they also perform traditionals, folk and world songs from across the globe — including Africa, Brazil, Persia, Georgia and indigenous Australia. 30-40 singers, from a broad range of backgrounds, gender and ages, create spine-tingling harmonies. Chilean born percussionist-composer Alex Pertout and Sri Lankan born vocalist-composer Nilusha Dassenaike embrace an authentic contemporary jazz and world sound created in Australia but informed by locations including their profound personal Latin American and South Asian roots.

AND MORE TO COME...
Moreland City Libraries presents a free event
Live at the Library Tuesday 26 March 2013, 7pm Coburg Library, Corner Victoria and Louisa Streets, Coburg Free! Featuring a variety of Moreland talent including Helen Begley performing songs from her album ‘West Brunswick’ that capture the sights, sounds and experience of living in Moreland. Made in Moreland is an innovative program to support and promote local musicians, writers and filmmakers. The Made in Moreland collection features over 300 CDs recorded by local musicians; these are available for loan from Moreland City Libraries.
At the top of a grand staircase, a massive space opens up before you. A Regal Old Ballroom or a Deadwood Saloon Bar? You decide. For the Brunswick Music Festival we have a sit down dinner capacity of 150, concert seating for 80 and a further 30 standing — this welcome new venue is proud host to an enviable music programme for the festival and just screams old school dinner and show. Brunswick Music Festival ticket holders can book in for pre-show dinner by emailing us on samanda@spottedmallard.com The Rare and Reclusive, oft Neglected, Lesser Spotted Mallard — its full title — serves solid, honest, quality meals; rotates a deftly selected craft beer selection and endeavours to provide a unique environment to enjoy a variety of musical events.
