Music line-up: eclectic, “earthy” and fun!
Popular peninsula music identity Marty Williams has organised
an eclectic and “earthy” line-up of musicians to perform over
the three days of Juice Carnivale.
He’s excited by the event, which he says will bring together
brilliant musicians in a “fantastic natural setting”.
“Peninsula Hot Springs is an exciting place for doing
something new in a celebration of the beautiful local
environment, and with the money going into youth development.
The natural undulations of The Cups area, into which
Peninsula Hot Springs Carnivale 2006 is set, provide a unique environment for musicians to
perform: with natural, intimate amphitheatres for musicians and
audience to share.
“There’s little nooks and crannies for performers making an
awesome space for adventuring and exploring soundscapes and the
performer/audience relationship”.
DoubleUEntertainment, Marty’s own record label, has brought
talented indigenous singer/songwriter Kutcha Edwards, “whose
family has peninsula links, and who delivers warmth in an Archie
Roach style” according to Marty.
Marty describes Sally Dastey, formerly of Tiddas, as “a real
earthmother who just has really pure vocals and tells an amazing
story with great clarity and lightness of spirit”.
He’s also excited by Liz Stringer - “an up and coming blues and
roots performer - a grainy, soulful artist.”
“Liz creates a focus that brings the audience right in
towards her and she establishes a real intimacy. She has a sense
of intensity that is quite compelling”.
Anyone familiar with the Dili Allstars would know their East
Timorese/Islander feel “that’s uplifting and gets you moving”.
They’re “the Australian-East Timorese rock band that helped
inspire a revolution” according to Paul Martin of the ABC.
The band was “born of conflict and terror who decided
rock'n'roll was the answer to propaganda and intimidation,” Paul
wrote prior to a Ballarat gig in 2004. Singer Paul Stewart and
co-founder Gil Santos met at a protest outside the Indonesian
consulate in Melbourne during the East Timor crisis, the band’s
first song was a cover of an old Rose Tattoo song, We Can't Be
Beaten, with East Timorese lyrics. The Dili Allstars have
supported reggae legends The Wailers on tour. No longer a
protest band, since East Timor gained its independence, they’re
now all about peace, and having a good time.
Cousin Leonard (pictured at top of page) is Marty’s own band
he performs in with brother Tom Williams - both singer/songrwiters.
They’re well known and loved on the peninsula, and about to head
back to Switzerland for a round of touring. Peninsula Hot
Springs’ Juice Carnivale will be one of the last opportunities
to catch them before they go.
“Sensational sibling harmonies with fresh energy to deliver
enlightened melodic music,” said David Sly of the Adelaide
Advertiser - and we agree!
