EVENT UNFORTUNATELY POSTPONED - WILL BE ADVERTISED AGAIN AS SOON AS RESCHEDULED
Arrive early for a spot by the fire and join Singer Songwriters Sim Bastick & Rosie for an evening of originals.

HOUSE CONCERT - SIM BASTICK & ROSIE
Sim Bastick & Rosie
Two fantastic songwriters. One great night ONLY.
Sim is a fellow singer/songwriter – with some absolutely fantastic sounds on her recently released album, ‘Find Me’. Together, she and I have decided to kick off some House Concerts.
Our first is going to be held in The Ballroom, Writer’s Retreat, Saturday 7.30pm.
Originally from Aus, Sim will be sharing a bit of her journey and songs from her album. And I will be sharing songs from the album I’m working to complete.
The idea is an intimate, magical evening – a deliberate pause before the bustle of Xmas.
BYO a cushion to sit on and something to drink.
Places limited - message me to secure your spot.
TICKETS $20pp (or $30 for two people)
