Carols by the barrel

The inaugural Carols by the Barrels at Flying Brick Cider House is set to rock your Christmas socks off on Sunday December 15.

However, be warned. This is not your ordinary Christmas carol event.

Get ready for a night of fabulous, festive fun for all ages. And it’s all free.

A brilliant six-piece band will take to the stage on the expansive Flying Brick lawn to belt out an array of Christmas favourites with a modern, funky twist.

In terms of genre, the show will feature a contemporary, eclectic mix of rock, reggae, blues, pop and funk.

Two sets of carols plus one set of contemporary pop covers to finish off the evening.

Curated and directed by musician Bridget Sharp (solo recording artist and vocalist/keyboards with indie band Dandecat), the band comprises a composite line up of up-and-coming professional musicians including:

Nick Robinson (drummer – also plays for artist Eaglemont, Kieran Wallace)

Zac Robertson (guitarist – Dandecat, Will Clift, Zac Robertson)

Sean Close (bassist – Dandecat, Will Clift, Kieran Wallace, Zac Robertson)

Jordy McMillan (vocals – Drums of War acapella group)

Bridget Sharp (keyboard and vocals – Bridget Sharp, Dandecat)

Keiton Grace (vocals)

Patrons can also look forward to a choir participating in a few songs as well as some other guest appearances.

There will be street-style food, house-made baked goodies, pop-up wineries Jack Rabbit, Leura Park and Yes said the Seal as well as Christmas cocktails, cider and beer on the pour.

Kids will also enjoy face painting and of course Santa will drop by.

The fun starts at 5pm and music commences at 6pm.

Limited seating is available, patrons are welcome to bring picnic rugs but strictly no food or beverages are permitted to be brought onsite.

On your sleigh and don’t delay. Register your attendance (so Santa knows what to expect) via flyingbrickciderco.com.au
