LIVE IN THE BARN AT WOMBAT FLAT: The Maes Band plus special guest Alana Jagt
175 Quondong Road, Neales Flat 5374
The Barn at Wombat Flat is our region's newest and best sounding 'listening' performance and art space at Neales Flat near Eudunda in SA’s Mid North. It’s about an hour and a half drive from Adelaide and about 45 minutes from the Clare Valley. The venue is a beautiful 150-year-old stone Clydesdale barn that owners Mike and Di have converted specifically for this purpose.
The Maes are award-winning Australian sisters Maggie (banjo, guitar, and vocals) and Elsie Rigby (violin, and vocals).
Over the last three years the pair have toured extensively, bringing their unique contemporary twist on folk music to audiences in Australia, North America, the UK, and Ireland; most recently performing at the legendary Telluride Festival in Colorado.
Other stand-out shows include performances at the Hydro Stadium at Celtic Connection, Glasgow; Americana Folk Festival, Nashville; Cambridge Folk Festival, UK; Edmonton Folk Festival, Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Canada; Woodford, Port Fairy and National Folk Festivals, Australia.
Their sophomore album, Take Care Take Cover was awarded Best Folk Roots Album 2017 by The Age Music Victoria Award and has received rave reviews at home and abroad with The Australian calling it a “simply superb sophomore album”.
Alana Jagt’s dynamic, warmly-weathered voice has captivated audiences throughout her career. Her work blends indie pop and rock with moody alt-country and Motown groove. Backed by a cohort of South Australia’s finest musicians, she performs powerful, vocal-led solo affairs; playful trio shows; and with six-piece, twin-guitar rock band, The Monotremes.
Since releasing her debut EP Wilderness (2017), Alana has played acclaimed festivals such as Handpicked Festival (featuring San Cisco, Dean Lewis, Matt Corby, and JET), Adelaide Guitar Festival, and has showcased at Scouted. She’s also supported the likes of Didirri, Mick Thomas, Abbe May and Kasey Chambers.

LIVE IN THE BARN AT WOMBAT FLAT: The legend - John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew
175 Quondong Road, Neales Flat 5374
The Barn at Wombat Flat is our region's newest and best sounding 'listening' performance and art space at Neales Flat near Eudunda in SA’s Mid North. It’s about an hour and a half drive from Adelaide and about 45 minutes from the Clare Valley. The venue is a beautiful 150-year-old stone Clydesdale barn that owners Mike and Di have converted specifically for this purpose.
We here at The Barn at Wombat Flat are humbled and incredibly grateful to John and boys for locking in this gig with us. What an opportunity to hear ‘a legend’ in an up-close and personal setting in a listening venue such as ours! This is one of those shows you will be telling your friends about for years!
John Schumann is one of the very few songwriters who have changed the way a nation thinks. Known for his leadership of the legendary folk-rock band Redgum, and his Vietnam veterans’ anthem, I Was Only 19, John Schumann’s career spans over 35 years. He has received almost every award the industry has to offer – some twice over.
In late 2005, after a 15 year sabbatical with his young family, John Schumann returned with Lawson, a highly acclaimed album of songs drawn from the poetic works of Henry Lawson. John’s current band, The Vagabond Crew, named after a line in the Lawson poem, Knocking Around, had its genesis in the recording of the “Lawson”album.
Described by rock historian Glenn A. Baker as “One of the finest songwriters this country has produced”, John’s songs have been paid the ultimate compliment by becoming the property of the people and the country they were written about. His lyrics are on reading lists in schools, colleges and universities throughout Australia.
John Schumann still lives in Adelaide. He has upset many people in positions of importance both there and interstate. He claims not to care.
Food and drinks available for purchase on the night. No BYO please.
