House Concert

Come and experience a gorgeous evening of folk-music in one of Burra’s beautiful heritage buildings.

We are thrilled to host Inkling Trio’s evocative and toe tapping music in our home-studio, Burra’s 150 year old former Redruth Methodist Church.

This year, during South Australia’s history month, Burra is celebrating its 180th birthday with a centennial BACK TO BURRA. As part of the festivities, we are opening our beautiful studio for a house concert featuring music that will weave a spell of early Burra life. Foot stompin’ Adelaide based folk band Inkling Trio along with an a cappella set from Emlyn and me. Have a listen to Inkling Trio below. Aren’t they fantastic? You can just imagine them playing to the miners in the dugouts back in Burra’s early settlement.

We recently discovered that 100 years ago, during Burra’s first BACK TO BURRA, Emlyn’s great great great grandfather, Joseph Roberts, who had been a councillor in Burra before moving to Pt Augusta and becoming mayor, was among the guests of honour. During the celebrations, he attended a concert right next door to our church in the Redruth Memorial Hall. In the program, we will sing a set of some of our favourite traditional repertoire from the UK - songs Emlyn’s great great great grandfather might well have heard here.

The house concert starts at 7pm. The church will be open from 6pm for bubbles. If you’re local, we’ll do potluck supper so please bring a plate to share.

The church is now our studio and residence. This is a private house concert, if you’d like to come please RSVP. Suggested donation at the door $20.
