A split image. On the left, five musicians pose outdoors in a lush, leafy forest setting near a small waterfall. On the right, a black-and-white portrait shows a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat seated on a chair, surrounded by several stringed instruments including guitars and a banjo. A vertical decorative border with floral patterns separates the two images.
Black-and-white photo of five musicians posing outdoors in front of dense foliage. Three stand in the back row: one holding a flute, one in a hat holding a large banjo, and one with a long beard holding a tambourine. In the front row, two women sit on a wicker bench next to a harp. The group appears relaxed and cheerful.

A Gaelic G'day: Jigs, Reels & Settler Songs

EXPERIENCE THE LIVELY MUSIC OF COLONIAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA with Perth Celtic band Amárach, featuring Music Masters graduate and illustrious local singer/guitarist John Ralph (https://johnralph.bandcamp.com/)

This fascinating setlist spans over a century of WA history, from George Fletcher’s Western Australia for Me, sung at the first ever Governor’s House ball in 1831, to Dorothy Hewett’s Clancy & Dooley and Don McLeod, chronicling the 1946 Pilbarra strike that sparked the Aboriginal Land Rights Movement. 

And for those who enjoy dancing more than singing, we'll get your toes tapping with tunes like the Australian Waters Jig, named for it's association with Australian Irish convict fiddler Jimmy Lyons, and the - aptly named - Scottish strathsprey Miss Drummond of Perth.

See you there!
