Come and spre...ad that blanket out on the reserve and soak up the warm evening and an even warmer atmosphere. We will again be featuring some more fantastic performers from Sydney and the Coast and another lovely selection of meals served by our hardworking kitchen volunteers. So whatever the weather, bring a friend, a smile, a drum, a blanket or a chair to sit on and a torch to light your way and treat yourself to what is still one of the cheapest and best night out on the Coast. Among artists performing this month are:
THAT'S THAT: A warm welcome back to the mountain for long time friends of Brackets, That’s That. Karen and Dianne are a dynamic duo performing original songs. These songs depict life and the journeys along the way. The music is diverse and unique, incorporating jazz, new age folk, tribal and blues and Karen and Dianne share their adventures with much laughter and joy. We invite you to come and let your heart sing with the messages and passion of the songs. Highlights of their performances are the melodic harmonies and the gentle acoustic sound of the guitar accompanied by percussion and drums.FIRST DRUM JAM: Bring your dancing feet, drum, rattle or whatever and join in our famous and frantic jam.

Brackets and Jam is all about inclusion and creative diversity, whilst supporting a sustainable environment. We are particularly interested in the participation of members of our arts and cultural community who are interested in performing or presenting short pieces in between our bands. Poets, actors, performers, story tellers are more than welcome to share their talents. It’s not just about music on the mountain!
Parking on the mountain is limited. Once the car parks are full you will be asked to park your vehicle at the bottom of the mountain and then to await the bus to the top. Upon leaving for the evening we will whisk you back down to your cars. We have security guards and Brackets volunteers on the gate to assist you. Please be patient!!
We would also like to ask inform parents that under age patrons must be under the direct supervision of a responsible adult for the duration of our event. Young patrons should also be aware that bags WILL be searched and any alcohol found will be removed.
