WHO'S PLAYING || 5TH DECEMBER
ANIMAL VENTURA
4:15PM – 6PM
Animal Ventura is the solo project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Fernando Aragones. Growing up playing punk rock and reggae in noisy garage bands in Southern Brazil, Aragones ventured to Australia where the eclectic sounds of the Sydney music scene beckoned.
With the release of his critically acclaimed debut record “Forrest Street’ late 2017, Animal Ventura gathered a healthy amount of media attention, seeing the elegantly effervescent single ‘Animal’ spinning on the airwaves across Australia getting air time on Triple J, ABC Radio National and multiple community radio stations.
The release followed by a massive National tour supporting Australian surf music favorites The Beautiful Girls. With his solo and electrifying ‘one man band’ performance, charming the stage to sold out crowds across the country.
We are excited to have Animal Venture back with us on the stage for another great afternoon of Christmas Shopping, Food & Music.
LIONHEIR
6:15PM – 8:15PM
Formerly known as solo acoustic artist Paul Appelkamp, the songwriter, producer and performer started operating in 2012 as Lionheir – an artistic rock-pop project under which he’s released two albums and received several awards.
His debut album, Lair (2012), had tracks played on JJJ and radio across Australia and the follow-up album, Dangerous Happiness (2015), took an alternative-rock direction.
After the 2015 Dangerous Happiness tour, Appelkamp took a hiatus from Lionheir and fathered three children – an experience which, in turn, gave new life to his songwriting. Euphoric, spacey 2018 single Only Love indicated where Lionheir was venturing stylistically, and his acoustic neo-folk follow-up tune All My Life captured it and more.

Alstonville
Elizabeth Anne Brown Park
Due to Social Distancing Measures we have had to postpone the Alstonville Markets. We can not wait to get back to the gorgeous Elizabeth Anne Brown Park but for now we are unable to fit you all in that intimate space under the big trees.
Keep your eyes on our socials and hopefully we will be back real soon.
In the meantime join us in Ballina.
