Wild Marmalade are the world’s original high-energy didgeridoo dance band heralding from the small town Byron Bay, Australia. Fusing the ancient sounds of the didgeridoo with contemporary dance beats, their sound is a meeting of Si’s synth stylee didgeridoo drones with the explosive beats of Matt Goodwin on drum kit.

Drawing on rhythms from all over the world and inspired by indigenous sounds and the grooves of the present, Wild Marmalade’s high energy shows uplift audiences with their display of powerful, joyous and infectiously danceable music.

Take a guitar and throw it in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of blues, a dash of funk, a spoonful of classic and a large punch of flamenco. Stir vigorously into a colourful instrumental display of original music. Lace it lovingly with some light-hearted humour and blazing guitar work and you have the recipe for a show by Cadence.
The heart of Cadence consists of James Diamond and his student Justin Husband. The dynamic between these two virtuosic guitar players really has to be seen to be believed.
James Diamond has been entertaining audiences up and down the East Coast of Australia for over 20 years with his dynamic acoustic guitar show and Latin based/flamenco guitar playing. His shows have included full bands, duo’s and solo work but have always been about fiery guitar playing with humour and fun. Of all his endeavours, his guitar troupe “Cadence” was met with the most critical acclaim and brought him work with industry giants such as Marcia Hines, Rene Geyer, George Benson, Gerry and the Pace Makers, Brian Cadd and Tommy Emmanuel.
Now, after years of hiatus, James joins forces with his student from the Queensland Conservatorium, Justin Husband, to bring Cadence to a new audience with a new sound but with the same entertaining show.

Justin brings his stylistic country/bluegrass and blues playing into the mix, so one minute Cadence will be playing a fiery, Latin piece and the next will break into a bluegrass medley followed by a soulful blues. Cadence can be booked as a duo (James and Justin), a trio or quartet depending on the requirements of the patrons. In cases where more than a duo is needed, James and Justin have regular guests that are always eager to play with them on stage. No matter the line-up, the boys promise a captivating show that will delight the audience.

No strangers to the road, Australian folk-rock duo Little Georgia have spent the last 4 years touring relentlessly and sharing their music around the globe. Known for their powerful live performances, collaborators Justin Carter and Ashleigh Mannix deliver beautiful harmonies and compelling lyrics amongst a sea of acoustic story telling and crazed out electric jams.

Built on the foundations of a strong work ethic, a passion for music, and a deep friendship, Little Georgia have toured extensively through out Australia, Japan and North America including support shows and tours with Mia Dyson, Jamestown Revival (USA) The Record Company (USA) and Ryan Bingham (USA); as well as appearances at Port Fairy Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festivals, Nannup Music Festival, and a soon to be third consecutive year performing at Blues Fest Byron Bay.

“…Little Georgia sound like a band you’d enjoy hearing live, the kind which feels like it touches on the borderlands where someone like Ryan Adams (Oh, especially Ryan Adams) criss-crosses from rock, or someone like Mia Dyson veers across blues and country lanes”. Bernard Zuel

“…You can hear just how much their live acumen has grown the band into one who can deliver a debut studio album of this quality. None of this happens overnight…” Larry Heath – AU Review

“The music is perfect for a sunny car ride through the countryside, a sunset booze cruise on a boat, or even a slow dance under the stars”.
