My Roving Band’s Performance at the “Flavours of Mudgee” Festival
On Saturday, 28th September, 2024, my three-piece roving band performed at the Flavours of Mudgee Festival. We were hired by Mid-Western Regional Council. We were one of five music acts brought in to enrich the atmosphere of the festival.
Where is Mudgee?
Mudgee is approximately a four hour drive north-west of Sydney. It has become renowned as a wine growing region. The “Flavours of Mudgee” festival aims to showcase the region’s wines, craft beers and fine dining.
My Three Piece Roving Band
I am a singer and multi-instrumentalist with decades of experience. One of my numerous areas of expertise is being able to play while on the move. My three piece roving band is primarily based around my trombone playing. The trombone is acoustically a loud instrument. In addition, the moving slide of the trombone makes it visually captivating. These two factors make it the perfect instrument to grab people’s attention in an outdoor festival situation. To complete my three piece ensemble, I have a guitarist (with a compact, battery powered amplifier) plus a drummer. The three of us can either play on the move, or stop off for a mini-concert of two or three songs before moving on.
Megaphone Singing
With my roving band, I mostly play the trombone, but I also do some singing through my old brass megaphone. Here is some footage that includes me singing through my megaphone.
