Fred Smith in concert
Don’t miss this concert.
Fred Smith on Sunday, November 19 at 2pm.
Fred is not your usual singer songwriter.
In July 2009, Fred was the first Australian diplomat to be posted to Uruzgan province, Afghanistan.
Whilst in Afghanistan, Fred wrote a collection of powerful songs about his experiences and the realities of life for soldiers in this difficult war.
These songs were released in 2011 on an album called “Dust of Uruzgan”.
The album won featured reviews and front pages in the Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Melbourne Age.
“The music of Fred Smith comes straight from the front line raw, ribald, but also capable of moving grown men to tears,” The Sydney Morning Herald’s John Huxley wrote.
“In a world full of vacuous songs, Fred’s is an incredibly strong body of work,” John Schumann said.
More on his website or on YouTube.
Plus, local support will be provided by Mat Brooker.
Mat has embraced a world fusion style with his nylon string guitar playing, drawing strong influence from the passion an excitement of flamenco, a touch of easy joy from Cuba, elements of European classical and the take-no- prisoners attack of punk rock.
Tea, coffee and cake available at this matinee concert.
Bring your own drinks and nibbles.
Phone Rita on 5591 6017 for bookings or further information.
