Fête de la Musique

I will be a groupie tomorrow as my man's band is participating in Fête de la Musique. This is the largest international live music event in the world: it is held in 350 cities on the very same day. Performances are free and held outside of traditional music venues.

The Fête is dedicated to providing a platform for all people who love making music: whether you are a professional musician who has been playing for years or an aspiring performer who is looking for a chance to try out their skills.  All musical tastes are catered for, including Country and Western, Rock, Hip Hop and even Opera.

To find out if there is a venue in your city, check here.



The band, Bagunca plays afro-cuban and bossa nova music. They are not professionals but hey, it's free!  If you are in the Brisbane Queen Street Mall, come along at 2.00 pm and say hello. The program and venue details are here.

However, this blog is really about Thea and Sami so I am letting you that the tunics are now listed in our on-line store. We are printing more colours next week to add to the collection. Look out for upcoming yummy white prints on red organic cotton.

8.30pm (in your own time zone) on Saturday 28 March 2009 is when thousands of cities internationally turn off the lights in support of Earth Hour. The big goal is for one billion people across the planet to turn off the lights. Incredible landmarks such as the Acropolis in Athens and the Empire State Building in New York are participating.

Brisbane City Council is supporting the Earth Hour event and is planning to turn off the lights on our city’s well-known landmarks including City Hall, Brisbane Square, Green Square, The Story Bridge, The William Jolly Bridge and Victoria Bridge. Other Brisbane landmarks supporting Earth Hour include the South Bank Cultural precinct, Gateway Bridge, Brisbane Powerhouse, XXXX Brewery and the Eiffel Tower on Park Road.



The Green Precinct in Paddington, Brisbane is holding a special candle-lit evening in the front courtyard of Urban Retreat Massage & Day Spa at 24 Latrobe Terrace. Voyt Reich and his band Bagunça will be playing live Afro-Cuban & Brazilian music. So turn out your lights at home and join us for an great night out. BYO wine & wine glasses.
