There will not be any workshops this time. However, we will be opening the Lyrics by Lamplight with a very special seasonal performance. A treat for your ears with lots of opportunities to get involved. Our usual Open Mic performances will start around 8pm.
On Saturday we will also have the options to attend the Kris Kringle Year End celebration at the Greenbushes Comunity Garden. Please bring a small regift present to share and a plate for morning tea to that event.
The Ukulele Jam will start on Saturday from 3pm until 4pm, bring your own chair and a music stand, we provide the rest. Singers welcome and all stringed instruments.
The group attracted between 20 and 75 people to each of their gatherings, in the park during summer and at a local hall during winter. The group also holds weekend camp-over that were offered free of charge with a focus on sharing, learning and community wellbeing. The group also supported local community events with music and poetry, especially the Greenbushes Community Garden and the local CWA Belles, the Community Mining Heritage Festival and the Pink Fun Run.
The Group also organised the second Greenbushes Art and Music Trail, a free event that provided entertainment and participation to local residents, including dance, ukulele jam, music jams, disco night and performances. The Trail brought the audience to various venues around town, including venues that are not usually open to the public, such as St Barnabas Church, CWA Clubrooms, Masonic Hall and the mine look-out. The majority of musicians and poets provided entertainment and workshops as volunteers. The event raised over $4,000 for the local community garden through sponsorships.
