Singing side by side is one of the sweetest ways to find resonance, harmony, and that quiet knowing that we are not alone.
“It was soul changing for me. I went into camp burnt out and have come home filled with passion and hope.”
Small and large workshop sessions with your hosts and special guests.
Singing together around the fire, breathwork, dance and movement sessions.

Mama Kin
Mama Kin:
As mischievous as she is charming, Fremantle’s Mama Kin is part raconteur and all-out entertainer. With a widespread reputation for her unique blend of foot-stomping soul, heart-wrenching ballads and stirring live shows, Mama Kin is back with a swag of new songs, a shift in sonic direction and a new band member.
Was It Worth It, the first single from her new album, The Magician’s Daughter, signals an expansion in Mama Kin’s musical palette. Was It Worth It ushers in a depth and potency underpinned by Mama Kin’s vocals that so spectacularly hover between vulnerability and power.
Cinematic at times, with lush arrangements and bold production, The Magician’s Daughter (due for release in early 2013) pushes Mama Kin’s own boundaries, challenging her trademark sound. Where her debut album Beat and Holler was a soulstress’ war cry, traversing the riotous and the raw, her sophomore album takes us deeper into the human condition, where the magic lives.
“really special, totally smouldering” - The Sun-Herald
"a delicious hotpot of soulful grooves, seductive melodies, stomping percussive beats and classic old-world instrumentation” - The Sunday Mail
“excellent, soulful and feisty” – The West Australian
“heartache and melody...pulling you along for a beautiful journey.” - Triple J
“There is something primal and infectious about soul delivered this way.” - AIR Independent Reviews
Mama Kin Spender:
Mama Kin Spender is a lightning bolt moment between two long-time friends, co-writers and mischief-makers: ARIA-nominated Mama Kin and producer Tommy Spender.
It’s a stripped back duo of brooding guitars, primal drums and howling harmonies, illuminated by a chorus of singers arranged by Virginia Bott (Brighter Later, First Chorus Band of Singers).
Mama Kin Spender’s songs rattle, roll and tremble, from block party to heart rending ballad. With a sound that is as raw as it is joyful, Mama Kin Spender will challenge you to raise your voice in defiance of the status quo.
