Wild Marmalade at the Byron Brewery on Friday

Wild Marmalade at the Brewery

Byron Brewery | Friday | 7pm | Free

Wild Marmalade are the world’s original high-energy didgeridoo dance band. Fusing the ancient sounds of the didgeridoo with contemporary dance beats, their sound is a meeting of Si’s synth-style didgeridoo drones with the explosive beats of Matt Goodwin on the 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.

The original Wild Marmalade trio come to the Byron Brewery this Friday night. Warming up the crowd will be Rhythm Sunbird, followed by Wild Marmalade bringing two sets of infectious tribal dance music.

This outdoor dance event is being held under the gargantuan fig tree at Byron Bay Brewery.

Entry is free and it kicks off at 7pm.

The fabulous Cape Byron Celtic dance troupe will also be putting on displays of Irish dance.

All proceeds from tickets will go directly to The SHIFT Project.

Since opening its doors The SHIFT Project has supported more than 30 women to sustainably transition into their community. Their unique model focuses on wellbeing, community connection and up-skilling as the way to end the cycle of homelessness. Their approach is holistic and tailored to the individual’s needs.

All funding raised through this event will support the in-house education program, which focuses on health and nutrition, budgeting, creative projects, and partaking in voluntary opportunities in the Byron community.
