What's On

To celebrate the launch of their eponymous debut EP, The Third Voice are playing at Springwood Presbyterian Church Hall at 7 pm on Saturday, August 3rd. Usually a self-sufficient all-female vocal harmony trio, the Sydney group have decided to play the gig with the Blue Mountains cohort that helped make some special tracks happen on the EP. Faulconbridge local with an international reputation, and who produced the EP, Llew Kiek (Mara!, Martenitsa), will be joining them on guitar. Recent arrival to the mountains, Peter Firth will be playing bass and Jess Ciampa (Monsieur Camembert, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, The Lion King) will be making the trek from Sydney to higher ground to join them on percussion. And for the acoustic purists, the trio will also be singing some of their signature a cappella vocals on some Afro-cuban numbers for the launch. Local act Oud Vibrations will be opening the night with some sinuous and subtle strings plus rhythms. Percussionist and singer Andy Busuttil from the duo mastered the EP at his recording studio Blue Mountain Sound at Hazelbrook. A limited edition CD of the EP will be available for sale at the launch as well as its digital cousin through Bandcamp.
