Musicians leave their hallmark

THE Festival of Small Halls is coming to Eumundi this weekend with an impressive line-up taking to the stage at the Eumundi School of Arts.
The summer tour, presented by the Woodford Folk Festival and in partnership with Mullum Music Festival, will visit community halls throughout Queensland and northern NSW as part of the Festival of Small Halls, giving those living in regional areas the chance to enjoy live music locally.
The line-up features Australian band The Mae Trio, made up of Maggie and Elise Rigby and Anita Hillman who started playing together in late 2011.
All three members write their own songs to suit the group’s diverse instrumental talents and love for three part harmony.
The Mae Tri will be joined by Canadian singer/songwriter Del Barber, who sings from the heart telling stories about his life and tales from the road, offering personal observations about the world around him.
The Sunshine Coast’s own Matt Stillert will also perform on the night, delivering his raw, dynamic style alternating between folk melodies and high-energy blues tunes.
The Festival of Small Halls will arrive at the Eumundi School of Arts, corner of Pacey Street and Memorial Drive, on Saturday 13 December, from 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
Tickets are available now at $25 per adult, $20 for a concession, and children under 12 are free. Visit www.festivalofsmallhalls.com for tickets.
