Van Diemen’s Band is joined by international soloists, cellist Catherine Jones (Australia/Italy) and Baroque guitarist William Carter (UK) for a sumptuous program of Italian music composed during the Spanish Occupation. Heavily influenced by dance, this music of the High Baroque takes a simple structure and transforms it into a supremely virtuosic display, Concertos by Vivaldi, Fiorenza, arrangements of Neapolitan folk tunes by Gaspar Sanz and the famous Fandango quintet by Boccherini.

FEATURING:

THE FISH JOHN WEST REJECT (Tas/ Melb)
This classic Tas/Melb band is reuniting for Tunes in the Tulilps. This cut through pub band sold out the Tassie pub scene in the late 80's and early 90's. Featuring on Countdown Revolution in the early 90's, their classic album "Left" is still loved today. Reforming in the late 90's as "The Dunaways" they traversed Melbourne and Tasmania. We are ecstatic to have "Fish" play this year.

MATT KATSIS (Melbourne)
Matt's Sunday vibes with his blues and roots flavour will get you going. This solo artist has a one man band style, the rhythm he creates with his feet and guitar gives Matt's sound a richness and depth. We are lucky to be catching him on his Tassie tour.
