Burrinja Theatre, Upwey presents Rambal

Rambal is an eight-piece band playing an electrifying mix of soul, blues and funk music who have been touring up and down the East Coast of Australia garnering material attention with their soul-packed performances.

The band is a crucible of harmonies, guitar, Hammond organ and a powerhouse rhythm section featuring Nardia Brancatisano(vocals), Jason Yap (guitar & vocals), Ollie Rofe (keys & vocals), Sunny Reyne (vocals), Jordan Periera (drums) and Sam Watts (Bass). Rambal’s latest release Hold Your Fire hones in on the band’s song-writing and focuses on sharing the stories and issues important to the band while laying down grooves and jams in spades.

Season: Saturday 29 October at 7.30pm in the Lyre Room.

Lilydale Athenaeum Theatre

Moving On by local author Cenarth Fox.

A delightful one woman show with music. It will make you laugh out loud, tap your toes along with music and feel heartfelt emotions,

Maggie is middle-aged. She returns to her childhood home to “go through” her recently deceased widowed-mother’s estate.

Edna lived there for half a century. The house is full of “things”. Maggie’s memories flood back. There are forgotten photos, toys, newspapers, and knick-knacks. Edna was a hoarder.

Who gets what? What do you keep? What will Maggie discover?

Season: Thursday 10 – 26 November.
