Redruth Sessions 2026
Each season (except summer) we open our studio to welcome amazing
South Australian musicians to share their music with Burra.
Concerts start at 7, bubbles from 6.
Our Autumn 2026 concert celebrates some of my favourite South Australian folk musicians.
Warm your ears in winter when Emlyn will present and share his selection of my songs, joined by pianist James Huon George.
In spring we welcome brilliant and heartfelt singer/songwriter Liz McCall and her violinist virtuoso husband Julian Ferraretto.
IF YOU’D LIKE TO COME, PLEASE RSVP
and I’ll send you the details.
