Three artists and two languages combine to make magic


Three artists and two languages combine to make magic - don't miss these gigs!
When three award-winning songwriters join forces, you're in for something special. This trio's mix of acoustic guitars, mandolin, dobro and a compelling voice will take you on a sublime journey. The interplay of Noongar and English words melded with gorgeous music produces a unique experience of warm, beautiful acoustic tones. You don't need to understand all the words: it's a heart thing.

Drawn together through a common commitment to helping those in the Wheatbelt communities to find their voice through songwriting, Gina Williams, Guy Ghouse and David Hyams have struck upon a special musical project of their own. In recent times Gina has been writing contemporary songs in Noongar language, many of which will feature in their performances. And it's this passionate approach to creating beautiful songs which make their performances so evocative and connected.

All three artists are known for their work with other high profile, award winning WA Acts; Gina Williams and the Lubbly Sings, Guy Ghouse with Desert Child and David Hyams with the Miles to Go Band. This exciting musical partnership takes what they do to a whole new level, combining Guy and David’ skills on acoustic guitars, mandolin and dobro, with Gina’s compelling vocals.

Keep an eye out for their progress – they'll be well worth watching.
