Allan Caswell & Ben Walker: 7pm, Saturday 8th March 2025
Tickets: $25 and $15 Concession
Allan Caswell is Australia’s most recorded songwriter with over 900 of his songs being released around the world by artists of the calibre of Cilla Black, Patti Page, The Irish Rovers, The Living End, Slim Dusty, Barry Humphries, Ricki May, James Blundell, McAlister Kemp, Graeme Connors, The Wolfe Brothers, Anne Kirkpatrick, Chad Morgan, Lynne Hamilton, Beccy Cole, The Wolfe Brothers and Ella Hooper among dozens of others.
In 1979 Caswell wrote the theme for the Australian television series “Prisoner” (Cell Block H in England). “On The Inside” was a Number 1 hit in Australia and New Zealand in 1979 and later reached Number 3 in the UK and the Patti Page version made the country charts in the USA. After the success of “On The Inside” he went fulltime and has made a living writing and performing ever since.
Caswell has won 8 Golden Guitars from 45 finalist nominations. He has also been awarded 15 songwriting Awards from the Tamworth Songwriters Association, including The Songmaker Award. He has won 9 Awards at the Independent Country Music Awards (Southern Stars) including Album Of The Year for three of his albums. He is the go-to co-writer for many of Australia’s top artists.
Ben Walker is not your typical songwriter. This British-born artist, now calling Sydney's Northern Beaches home, writes songs of heart, soul, joy, sadness and hope. He writes them with nuance, poignancy and in- sight and combines them with soulful melodies with poignant storytelling that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect deeply.
In 2020, Ben began releasing music and his heartfelt tunes earned him festival appearances, co-writing opportunities with other talented artists, and widespread radio play. But the real proof of his talent came in 2022 when his song "I Won't Forget" (a beautiful collaboration with Allan Caswell, Beth Lucas, and Stephen Dobson) was listed as a semifinalist in the International Songwriting Competition (Folk Category) and soared to number 1 on the Australian Country Radio Chart.
North and Elsewhere: 7pm, Saturday 12th April, 2025
Tickets: $25 and $15 Concession
Hazel and Roanna Law are the young, upcoming duo ‘North and Elsewhere’. The sisters were raised on folk music and family harmonies (Karen Law Family Band), which remain at the core of their performance and songwriting style.
They were recognised at a young age for their songwriting, seeing Hazel win the ‘Change the World With Your Song Competition’ and runner-up in the Illawarra Folk Festival Song Competition (2017). This led them to releasing their debut EP in 2021, a collection of indie-folk songs inspired by nature, connection and social justice. They followed the EP with a number of shows including Woodford Folk Festival’s Bushtime, the Glen Innes Celtic Festival and support for Enda Kenny at Sunday Folk.
Their live show is characterised by their blend of harmonies and thoughtful story-telling lyricism, backed with acoustic and bass guitar. It’s a moving performance, with a style of songwriting that will stay with you.
Although the recipient of the Order of Australia, Prime Minister’s Centennial Medal, Australian Recording Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award, the prestigious Don Banks Music Award, and an acknowledged ’national treasure’, Warren prefers to say he is a graduate of the ‘Dingo University of the Outback’.
At Humph Hall Warren will perform an afternoon concert with his long-standing musical partners, Marcus Holden (fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo) and Garry Steel (accordion).

Masters in the art of connection, Lindsay Martin (AU) and Victoria Vigenser (NZ) interweave effortless strings, soulful vocals and driving rhythms to form a singular, intense musical voice. The couple have been called contemporary folk, alt-country and acoustic pop, but words don’t capture their unbelievable musical kinship, or the deeply heartfelt way they relate to their audiences. Nominated Best Folk Artist in both AU and NZ, this troubadour duo have an inexplicable appeal that has seen them on a steep and fast rise to countless festival billings throughout NZ, AU, UK and EU tours.
Vincent Cross (US): 7pm, Friday 18th July 2025
Tickets: $25 and $15 Concession
Vincent Cross is an Irish song poet whose critically acclaimed albums draw from various traditional folk idioms and ancient myths.

Bruce has appeared at over 200 folk festivals as well as innumerable folk clubs and other venues across Australia, the UK and NZ. He has received a stack of prestigious songwriting awards and had his songs covered by performers of the calibre of Eric Bogle, Joe Dolce, Greg Champion, and a host of other Australian and international performers. He has been a support act for many high profile international performers.
He has produced eight albums of original songs, and received radio airplay across Australia. He appears on over 20 compilation albums alongside artists such as Yothu Yindi and Christine Anu. He has also published a book of his songs.
Eric Bogle has described him as “the best songwriter I have seen in a long time.” Melbourne folk institution The Boite calls him “An Australian folk hero!”
MAG&M stages Signs in the Sand
Tuesday, 11 March 2025 to Sunday, 11 May 2025 - - 10:00 am to 05:00 pm very day
Manly Art Gallery & Museum’s (MAG&M) is partnering with contemporary artist Anna Madeleine Raupach to create an innovative approach to raising awareness for environmental issues in its latest exhibition Signs in the Sand: Anna Madaleine Raupach’s Climate Sign Archive, opening on 11 March 2025.
Signs in the Sand, an immersive augmented reality (AR) installation, is a continuation of respected artist, Anna Madeleine Raupach’s Climate Sign Project. The exhibition will form part of MAG&M’s program for Climate Action Week (10-16 March).
In mid-February the Collective for Environmental Art & Design (CEAD) Forum is being held, where participants will be asked to create climate action signs for Signs in the Sand. Raupach will digitise these signs, add them to her growing archive and place them virtually in the sand along Manly Cove.
During the Signs in the Sand exhibition, 11 March to 11 May 2025, visitors can engage with these artworks via a QR code downloaded to their electronic device.
Northern Beaches Mayor, Sue Heins expressed enthusiasm for the premise and personal engagement of the exhibition.
“Signs in the Sand is a powerful example of how art and technology can come together to address urgent environmental issues.
“This exhibition not only highlights the creativity and innovation of our community but also encourages them to reflect on the role we all play in fostering environmental and sustainability awareness and action,” Mayor Heins said.
The exhibition will feature digitised signs from Raupach’s archive, as well as the new signs created during the CEAD (Collective for Environmental Art & Design) Forum in February. These AR installations will be displayed along Manly Cove’s beachfront and within MAG&M, providing an immersive interactive experience for visitors. QR codes placed at MAG&M will link visitors to the project’s AR platform, allowing them to engage with the artwork in a unique and meaningful way.
Signs in the Sand is part of MAG&M’s commitment to presenting art and ideas that drive real-world environmental change through the CEAD program. The exhibition aligns with MAG&M’s mission to inspire interdisciplinary creativity and meaningful dialogue about sustainability.
The exhibition is free and open to the public, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy and participate in this important conversation about the environment.
See first-hand how art and technology can work together towards environmental change.
This exhibition is part of Climate Action Week.

Anticipation builds for the Hansa World and International Championships: March 21-30 2025
Anticipation is building as sailors worldwide prepare for the 2025 Hansa World Championships, set to be hosted at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in Newport and raced on Pittwater.
Fresh off the recent Hansa Class Asia Pacific Championships at Southport Yacht Club, top competitors from across the globe are gearing up for fierce competition in March 2025.
At the Asia Pacific Championships in October, Japan’s Takumi Niwa delivered an impressive performance in the Hansa 303 One Person fleet, securing the win after consistently placing in the top three in all eight races. Niwa, along with Polish Para World Sailing Champion Piotr Cichocki and Australia’s Alison Weatherly, will reunite in Newport to vie for the Hansa 303 Para World and Open World titles. Spain’s Isaias Iglesias, who took second in the European Championships, will also add to the challenge.
The 303 Two Person category saw Australians Chris Symonds and Manuela Klinger dominate by winning every race. Next year’s competition will feature strong European contenders, including France’s Gauthier Bril and Camille Massonnaud, along with past medalists Piotr Cichocki and Olga Górnaś-Grudzień, in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
In the Liberty class, Hong Kong’s Foo Yuen Wai, with six wins out of nine starts, claimed victory in Southport and now sets his sights a World Championship. Britain’s Paul Phillips and former champion Vera Voorbach from the Netherlands will join him in Newport, alongside Japan’s Ryo Sasaki, who secured the Liberty Servo title at the Asia Pacifics.
Queensland’s local talent also shone on the Gold Coast Broadwater, with Neil Rowsthorn, Brent Geritz, and Ross Manning taking the top three spots in the SKUD 18 division.
They will face serious competition from New Zealand’s top crews, who are shipping boats to compete in the SKUD 18 Open and Para categories.
Notably, Paralympic gold medallists Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch will make a highly anticipated return to the SKUD 18, aiming for a strong showing at the Worlds.
Important Details for Entrants:
Early Entry Deadline: Midnight, Saturday, 30 November. A late fee is applicable thereafter.
World Sailing ID: Required for para category participants to ensure para rankings.

Surfing Mums & Dads
Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children.
The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am.
Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.
We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
