The Last Minute Noodles! (Andrew Bradshaw and Rebecca Webster)
Hailing from Tambellup, Andrew Bradshaw and Rebecca Webster have been playing music together casually over the last five or so years. The name ‘The Last Minute Noodles’ came about while trying to juggle their musical hobby with raising young families and farming. Their set list ranges from folk to acoustic pub rock. All songs are handpicked from their long list of favourites and they particularly enjoy playing music written by Australian Artists.
The Blondes of Bondi
The Blondes of Bondi are Matt Hough and Toby Lavender, both local lads strumming their acoustic guitars to some of their favourite songs and classics. Easy listening tunes for everyone to enjoy and sing along to, with performances ranging from weddings to pubs all over the region. A good fun duo who love their music!
Craig Sinclair
Part 1920s timewarp, part post-millennium spiritual yearning, Craig Sinclair conjures a mystical finger-style guitar sound, blended with soulful vocals and contemporary original folk-blues song writing.
Since emerging onto the Fremantle music scene in 2006, this young songwriter has begun to craft a happy niche for himself, and is now touring widely across Australia. Whether fronting his band "The New Charlatans" or taking to the stage solo, original music has become a way of life.
The debut solo album Stones Beneath The Surface, was released in May 2006 and launched in front of his home crowd in Fremantle to a packed house at Mojo's Music Bar. Since then it has been featured on RTR FM as well as receiving spot play on Triple J radio and extensive airplay on community radio stations around Australia. A live recording at the Kidogo Arthouse in May 2007 was released in December 2007 and featured the 2007 WA Music Industry Blues and Roots Song of the Year Lara Clare.
The van is currently being tuned up for another trip across the country, supporting the release of the "Peace is the Road" EP in January 2010 with a national tour stretching from Cairns to Adelaide with many shows in between.

Chris Edmondson
The south west of Western Australia is unashamedly the source of Chris’ foot-tapping, storyteller style. Plying his trade as solo singer/songwriter, Chris has worked the wineries, wheat-bars, folk clubs, festivals and country fairs pretty much all over the bottom left-hand corner of the continent for more than a decade.
Along the way there have been three releases - Five Stories…Ten People (2001), The Hut Chapter (2003) and Somewhere South of Somewhere – Live (2004) with a re-release of Five Stories…Ten People in October 2009 to coincide with a range of appearances on the West Australian folk festival calendar, including the Nanga Folk Festival and the Folk in The Forest Festival.
Chris’ 2010 regional event calendar is already filling with appearances at Wagin Woolarama and the Balingup Small Farm Field Day, all in addition to me more bookings amongst country hotels, wineries and the like.
Specialising in what could best be described as "conversational" styled performances the strength of Chris’ show comes as a result of his ability to engage in banter, waffle intelligently, telling the odd story or eight, while exploring anything from anywhere that could be described as a story song and throwing in a few sing along classics to boot.Chris has often hit the road every January to tour solo across the country and play the Tamworth Country Music Festival, simply for the reason that “someone might like to hear some story songs”. Amongst all this Chris has done band stints in legendary LA clubs while on desperate last ditch international tours, self-financed an American café tour and still found his way back to self-promote shearing shed concerts in country Western Australia driven only by an acoustic guitar and tales to tell.
With what is approaching four years worth of material to sort out, Chris is continuing work in the studio on a new release with the approach of capturing the simplicity of the songs and letting the stories do the talking, before heading out on the road again. In the meantime, keep an eye out for Chris. He’s usually around all over.
