Rainbow Machine
“Third time (I think) twiddling my knobs for this band. I love them. Rainbow Machine are what you get if you cross Ian Dury, Julian Cope, Dead Kennedys, Hawkwind, Simple Minds, Stone Roses, Ozric Tentacles, Magazine, throw a bit of Happy Mondays into the mix and mashit all up into one big danceable groove from a free festival in the early 90s. Mushrooms are optional”. Matt Finish sound engineer.
Touch The Earth
Didgeridoos, drums, and
soaring melodies channel ancient landscapes and spirit energy. A tribal folk fusion that invites you to dance, drum, and connect. Uplifting, ceremonial,
and raw, their immersive sound resonates with the heartbeat of the wild earth.
Car Dia
Original songs of the land legends and mythology. Susan’s unique evocative vocals weave through the melodies.
Always at the heart of a Car Dia performance is the audience participation singing and the catchy choruses.
