BLIND COBBLERS THUMB supported by the Smiley -Doherty Duo

Blind Cobbler’s Thumb is a rollicking 4-piece Irish Band that is always in the mood for a ‘knees-up-mother-brown’! Rebecca Bone (flute/whistle/vocals), Jules McMullan (mandolin/vocals), Fiona Curram (guitar, vocals),Ben Yarram (Bass/vocals) and Roy John (drums/vocals) do music from the Irish Isle with a twist of lemon, a shot of humour, and a pint or two of Paddy passion. This band will take you on a wild ride

of singing and dancing, so don your brogues, grab a partner and take the rocky road to Dublin for a reely good time! Come lilt with the leprechauns, frolic with the four-leaf clovers and curtsy with the colleens as Blind Cobbler’s Thumb do-si-do’s you through punked up renditions of The Pogues,heart breakingly tragic Irish ballads and fast traditional jigs.

They'll be supported by Kate Smiley and Pete Doherty. Kate and Pete perform an intimate alt-folk duo set built around original songs,close harmonies, acoustic guitars, piano, mandolin, and blues harp. Their music draws on folk,

blues, and storytelling traditions, with songs shaped by the landscape and lives of South

Gippsland. Warm, lyrical, and quietly powerful, their duo performances create the feeling of

songs shared around a kitchen table late at night.
