Folk@Canowindra is set to start off the year in party mode, with a fun & lively group called Milltown as its feature act on Sunday 29th Jan, 4-6pm.
Based in Bathurst, Milltown play a mix of (mostly) old time American string band music and songs influenced by the backgrounds of the band members - rock and roll, Irish, traditional Australian and bluegrass.
Band members are Ken Lambeth (guitar), Tony Stuart (fiddle, mandolin and accordion), James Church (dobro), Mike Cook (double bass) and Rebecca Pagan (clawhammer banjo).
Milltown also do a few original songs and instrumentals.
Any old time band should have at least one song about a chicken, a train or a girl called Sally - Milltown have all three!
If you want to have a preview of their style, check out “Milltown - Choctaw Hayride” (among other songs) on YouTube.
Folk@Canowindra is now entering its third year - a growing monthly gathering of accoustic musicians, poets and warm and appreciative listeners.
Kindly hosted by ‘taste Canowindra’ (Ferguson St), it meet on the last Sunday of the month from 4-6pm.
Entry is free, bring a donation for the band, and enjoy some arvo tea or early dinner while you listen.
Family friendly! Any questions: Nerida Cuddy via www.nerida.info.
