Scott Cook was born in West Virginia, raised on the Canadian prairies, and spent six years teaching kindergarten in Taiwan before becoming a full-time troubadour in 2007. On his twelfth tour down under, he’s bringing an all-star Aussie stringband and his eighth album Troubadourly Yours. Fresh from the open road, these are sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you.

Tony McManus
Tony McManus has transcended the parameters of contemporary Celtic music. his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic diaspora – Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cape Breton, Quebec – along with flavours, of jazz and east European music. His has an uncanny ability to transpose the delicate, complex ornamentation of traditional bagpipe or fiddle tunes – even the phrasing of a Gaelic song – onto his own six strings.
