CCCC NSW Conference at Glenworth Valley

We play for a many difference groups in many different settings– indoors, outdoors, barns, boats, bars and everything in between. But last Saturday was close to unbeatable as far as a serene setting goes with a wonderful group of people to match.

Community Child Care Co-operative of NSW invited us to play at their “Ignite” conference. Set in beautiful Glenwoth Valley (Horse Riding)  centre, the program was aimed at introducing outdoor elements to child care programs and we were invited to entertain everyone on Saturday night and to get everyone who came– from NZ and up North- Nelson Bay- to the South Coast and Central West of NSW mixing with each other.

The setting of the open paddock, bonfire, tents, and mountains around the base of the valley was a perfect backdrop for us to play and everyone had a fantastic night.

Thanks to CCCC NSW for inviting us to play– it was a very memorable night!

At the Menzies Hotel with the Professional Housekeepers Association

Many thanks to the Professional Housekeepers Association for having us along to your Hoedown night at the Menzies Hotel! We had a ball– you’re a fantastic crowd and it was a pleasure being part of your night! For anyone out there looking for the way to do a themed Hoedown night for your company or organisation– this was how to do it! Everyone was dressed for the part and the dance floor was jam packed all night. A great way to celebrate an end of financial year, Christmas, or any other occasion.

Residency at the Garden Tap/ Cooks Garden North Turramurra

We’ve been playing semi-regularly at the Garden Tap North Turramurra– our local! Many people who saw us there would ask when we were playing there next and now we can give you a simple answer! The last Sunday of every month!

Yep– that’s it:

Last Sunday of Every Month

4:00pm onwards

The Garden Tap, North Turramurra

The Garden Tap is the pub associated with the Cooks Garden– come and enjoy the afternoon! Great beers on tap (not your usual suspects), wines by the glass, the world’s best Japanese whisky (if it hasn’t been all drunk by now) and great bar food or book into the restaurant for dinner. Hope to see you there!

Sunday at the Garden Tap

Thanks to Rick and Elizabeth and the crew from the Garden Tap/ Cook’s Garden for having us play again last Sunday– and thanks to everyone who came along to enjoy Rick’s hospitality aswell! It was a packed house and a little rowdier than usual- maybe the stormy weather had wired everyone– we’re not sure but either way it was a great afternoon for everyone. Rememebr– last Sunday of every month from 4pm!

Exhumed Grand Final 2014

Exhumed Grand Final 2014Swamp Dawkins was selected as one of the 10 finalists in the 2014 ABC702 Exhumed Grand Final!  It was actually a double win, as Michael also entered his other band – The Outback Bushband – in the competition and that entry also made it into the Grand Final – so that’s two from two!  The selected songs were Michael’s originals: Even though Paul Kelly (after “To Her Door”) and Hell it’s Hot Down Here.

Swamp Dawkins opened the Exhumed Grand Final 2014 with a bang – rocking the crowd with Hell it’s Hot Down Here.

What a way to kick-start the night!!


You can see more videos from the night on our YouTube Channel and check out the photo gallery or view and share this album on the Swamp Dawkins Facebook page.
