Stories and music delivered to the Surf Coast

Birds, birds and more birds!

Sarah Depasquale and I were free and enthusiastic to support the Overwintering Project exhibition at the Surf Coast Arts Space.

We love working in art galleries, our performances always feel like a good fit. But then we do enjoy telling stories under the trees.

This is the third Overwintering Project for me and the second for Sarah. The exhibitions are always moving and thoughtful and a percentage of sales is donated for shorebird research. So far I've been to the launch of Hobart, Wyndham and Angelsea and we have Altona coming up.

The car was packed with clothes for all weather, sound system (if required) and we took The Flock OZ to pop-up outside the gallery and at The Willows Tea House at Aireys Inlet, where we also told stories and promoted the exhibition.

So good to feel useful and not merely decorative.

And huge thanks to Bron Ives and Nan McNab for their generous hospitality.

And big congratulatory HUG to Kate Gorringe-Smith for all she does for the birds. Its a joy to contribute to the cause in the best way we know how - with stories and music.

The next Overwintering Project is in Hobsons Bay and opening on May 11 as part of World Migratory Bird Day and yes .. we'll be there.
