Fellow Green Backyardians
and newcomers this Saturday marks the second 2012 instalment of Beatroots. The local music festival that everybody loves
embarks on another day of fun, arts, music and hopefully sun.
This time we see the absence
of founders Renny and Sophie Antonelli, so the management team are on ‘strict’
orders to make the day a success. The
best we can hope for is all of you lovely people turning up with friends and
enjoying some local talent with dynamic sounds.
There is literally music for all ears with the likes of I Want a Treehouse tearing up the gardens grunge rock style, DJ Urb on the decks, reggae beats from Tallaweh, Piper playing funk and cool melodies and Andy Hughes the multi-instrumentalist.
Other activities include
face painting, a raffle, children’s activities, a craft fair and much
more. Expect handmade home ware, jewellery
& clothes, tiny tigers and teeny butterflies with the occasional spiderman
and loads of prizes to be won.
Fresh food and beverages
will be served all day, including savoury and sweet snacks and meals.
Donations aren’t
compulsory, but whatever you give you get back with a great spring festival,
all proceedings go to The Green Backyard helping to fund the project and assist
with new developments.
