Ignite: Live Music Leeton
Leeton’s Mountford Park will host the Ignite live music event on Saturday 11th February. This one-night event is made possible through the Reconnecting Regional NSW – Community Events Program and promises to bring music lovers of all ages a night full of diverse genres, lively rhythms and unparalleled energy. Entry is free and attendees are welcome to bring along chairs, picnic rugs and eskies.
Western Riverina Arts is proud to announce the line-up for Ignite. Musical acts Gone Fishin', Social Afterparty, Ironbark String Band and Danny Walsh Banned will take to the stage.
Young band Gone Fishin' will set the tone with a mix of pop originals and covers. This up-and-coming group recently released their debut EP entitled ‘Flyin’ Blind’ in April 2019, to much critical acclaim.
Social Afterparty will follow with high-energy beats that blend indie rock, dance, funk and hip hop into unforgettable sets.
Audiences will not want to miss Ironbark String Band – a lively local act who love to play folk music from Ireland, Australia, the Americas and beyond.
From Victoria, Danny Walsh Banned will wrap up the evening with intense rock guitar licks blended with evocative vocal melodies.
The Danny Walsh Banned is well known in Melbourne’s bars and pubs for their country-soul, rock’n’roll boogie and high-energy performances. In 2020, they released their third album, “In the Wimmera,” which captures the Wimmera’s awe-provoking landscapes, cleverly interwoven with Danny’s recollections of his Donald upbringing. It was included in Rhythms Magazine’s Top 10 albums of the year, following extensive airplay (Double J, 3RRR, 3PBS) and 4-star reviews.
“Walsh’s lyrics depict each landscape and emotional swirl with the caress of a bona fide bush poet…Country-folk, some retro rock’n’roll and Hill Country-style blues take the listener on a journey -looking back and yearning ahead” - Forte Magazine.
Don’t miss out on this spectacular afternoon and night of entertainment! Bands will start in the park from 2pm.
