Welcome to The Northern Beaches Music Festival 2024.
On November the 2nd and 3rd we will be presenting 40 acts on four stages over the weekend. The festival is once again located at the Tramshed Community Arts Centre and The Berry Reserve by the beautiful Narrabeen Lake. It includes fabulous, multi genre world music on three ticketed stages and one free stage (free to the general public), set amidst our festival village of world food and merchandise stalls.
With a definite focus on the Northern Beaches, our common goals are to:
- To produce and present musicians and other performing artists including up and coming young artists.
- To provide, maintain and help create venues at which artists can be presented.
- To invite, involve and include our diverse community including the disabled and indigenous, especially with regard to music, performing arts, food, dance, costume and culture.
When we say “multi genre world music” we mean it. From the brilliant Squeezebox Boogaloo delivering Zydeco dance rhythms and song, to the toe tapping, hard driving swamp blues of Daddy Longlegs & The Swamp Donkey, to the Middle Eastern dance rhythms of Aljamia and the South American rhythms of Trio Teleboteco.
Following this is the original country diva, Ingrid Mae, plus the bluest of grasses of Ricky Pann & the Folkenators, Indian music from Aman Pal plus the local original genius, Luke Escombe.
But wait! It doesn’t stop there, as we also have the glorious danceable jigs of the Full Irish, the Gypsy/French swing of the Cameron Jones Trio plus the up tempo Anglophiles, Traditional Graffiti, the Northern Beaches Blues Diva Liza Olhback and the Mercy Train and the most original local artist Charlie Castle & Boys in the Well. International artists include George Mann from the USA and Gerry Hallom from the United Kingdom.
