Introducing The Stage, a regular venue at the CWA Hall, Lindisfarne.

Opening concert features Peter Hicks (& Hui Tocker) and Trouvers - the first in a series at The Stage in Lindisfarne.

Peter Hicks is a well known performer in the Australian folk circuit whose music borrows from roots, blues, celtic and protest traditions from the likes of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie.

Peter will perform songs from his extensive and very eclectic repertoire on acoustic and slide guitar and even incorporate some bluegrass style banjo in the set.

Joining Peter on vocals will be the fabulous Hui Tocker who will also present some of her original material and spiritual songs. 

Peter's 2002 album, Our World is Not for Sale, has stood the test of time. Maybe it is sad that Our World is Not for Sale is still relevant as an action song but the chorus is well worth joining in.
From the library of Peter's albums one can only guess what you will hear - of one thing you can be certain, it will be entertaining and educational.

Trouvers: Take a swag of new songs, really good songs, and introduce them to the world.

That’s the aim of Trouvers who strive to bring these ‘unknown’ songs to audiences wherever they can.

Add some better known songs, songs with a purpose/meaning, and the mix is delectable.

Repertoire includes Big River, Some People Cry, Captain Swing, Last Thing on My Mind  but also songs by Tasmanian songwriters.
eg Methinna by Shaun Pearce, Reservoir Song by Rory Campbell, Lost Child by Kelvin Carter.

Presented with three part harmony and quality guitar backing, the sound of Trouvers garners praise wherever they perform – most recently the March 2024 Kunanyi Folk Club and opening for Mike McClellan (December 2023).

Trouvers know that good songs need to be remembered. They understand that for every songwriter there needs to be a thousand interpreters.

Trouvers are your interpreters.
