Mean Fiddler Hotel

Part young buck, but 100% party hound, DJ Tenzin has carved himself out a niche as one of Sydney’s most dynamic members of the club kids set. Seamlessly blending everything from party hip hop to grinding glitch-tech and electro, DJ Tenzin routinely smashes clubs back to heir foundations before, like a nurturing architect, putting them back together brick-by-brick for his loyal fan base. But his talents aren’t just heard across Sydney’s finest dance floors… his talent of genre-morphing and as a party reader (like Preacher and the Bible, bitches!) has landed him the position as Music Director for all Australian Fashion Week shows. So the kid is surrounded by models day and night, but does he let it go to his head? Nah, however he certainly knows his designer gear. So if you haven’t seen Tenzin play before, what can you expect? He’ll read you and you’ll need him. You’ll fall under the spell of the only DJ who can claim to run the runway as well as dance the dance floor like no other.

Doors open at 9pm.

"We're country guys through and through ... "

When music's a part of your life I think it commands a lot of your time and your thoughts. "We are fully country music, that is where we want to go and stay because that is where we are," Damian said.

Adam and Damian Noll are making inroads in the country rock music scene.

The Noll Brothers have also shown their heart by supporting Lifeline. The "Give a Little ... " track seemed tailor made for the work Lifeline does and the boys generously organised a concert to benefit Lifeline and the Macarthur Community.

Back in the early ninties, The Saw Doctors were Number One in Ireland with Hay Wrap, N17 and I Useta Lover which still holds the record for the biggest selling Irish single. The bands first album, If This Is Rock & Roll, I Want My Old Job Back” was Number One in Ireland for most of 1991.

The Saw Doctors were discovered in the back room of the Quays Pub in Galway in 1988 by Mike Scott of The Waterboys who was recording The Fishermans’ Blues album in nearby Spiddal. Mike Scott asked The Saw Doctors to open for The Waterboys’ on the Fisherman’s Blues tour of the UK and Ireland in the Autumn of 1988 and produced their first single, N17.

Join us at the Mean Fiddler for this special St. Patrick’s Day performance by Australia’s No 1 Irish Entertainer Damien Leith.

The Irish-born troubadour’s career went stratospheric when he appeared on, and subsequently won, the 2006 edition of Australian Idol. Along the way, Leith’s touching songs have captured millions of hearts and multiple platinum awards.

It’s been six years since he left his homeland, but Leith is feeling right at home in Australia. And it shows in his music, which has grown up and matured quite like this happily married father-of-two. It’s a body of work whose underlying theme studies the highs and lows of life.

Call Box Office or visit thefid.com.au to reserve your seat, to witness this amazing performer, live in the Woolshed.

Tickets  are $40 and are limited, so hurry!

When you think of fiddles, mandolins and banjos, what music do you think of Folk, country, bluegrass? Anything can happen, depending on the influences the players bring to the mix. When you combine the infectious and personal side of country with the traditional sounds of Celtic and infuse them with the contemporary influence of rock and funky syncopation you will get a combination that may or may not work. Steve Passfield's Handpicked Band not only has it working a treat but also is connecting in a big way with audiences around town and on tour. Like life itself, Passfield’s original songs bear the influences of many styles and experiences, with an unpretentious delivery and lyric that says the things we all feel. And with take away melodies you can't forget. Along with a touch of forgivable idiocy and a stirring grasp of the entertainment ethic, Handpicked have their audiences dancing and foot tapping into the night. More than a decade of performance has given birth to three fine CDs and a string of awards in National Band Competitions. The band has evolved into a valid part of the Australian musical landscape with regular appearances at festivals across this big land and overseas with promise of much for the future. With the ability to deliver credible and engaging performances in both genres, Steve Passfield's Handpicked Band has an unfair advantage in winning over audiences at both Country and Folk festivals. Handpicked are a show worth leaving the TV for.

When Mike Carr accepted his award for the APRA Song of the Year in January 2006,it was the beginning of wonderful ride.

The award for Real People, which he co-wrote with Melinda Schneider for her latest album Family Tree, was his first Golden Guitar , although he has received numerous nominations.

Mike is now, unquestionably, one of Australian music's most exiting singer /songwriters.

From an impeccable musical pedigree (his father was the famed Warren Carr of the 60's R&R era), Mike has been carving his own way in the country music industry for the past 5 years.

As a songwriter he is right up there with the best, having written and co- written some of the most popular Australian country songs of the past few years. These include THE ANZAC, New England Highway and Get Loud (Adam Brand) & Real People, Wearing White (Melinda Schneider).

As a artist, his self titled debut album, released in 2003, yielded the singles While the Wife's Away, Up on His Shoulders while his follow up album, ”Legend” produced the hit song “She’s Gone”.

Mike has built up a considerable following due to his live performances. From touring Australia with super stars Terri Clark and David Lee Murphy to performing as an invited guest on “The Global Showcase” in Nashville, he has won hearts all over the globe.

The past 2 years has seen Mike focus on his songwriting.He was recently signed to the roster of Pacific International music, a Nashville publisher.During this time Mike’s song “When did all the flowers die” has been recorded by new Nasville signing Mitzy dawn to add to his cuts with Adam Brand, Graham Connors, Kirsty Lee Akers, McAlister Kemp just to name a few.

Mike is now sought after performer at the Tamworth Country Music festival and has become a permanent fixture at CMC Rocks the Snowys having shared the stage with the likes of Taylor Swift and Joe Nichols, not to mention Shannon Noll..
