award-winning group of cultural refugees from Bosnia, Latvia, Greece, Turkey, France, Sephardic Spain and Australia has been mesmerising audiences with powerful and inspired performances.

THE WEEPING WILLOWS, The Weeping Willows (Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth) are a couple of old souls, steeped in Bluegrass tradition and draped in Gothic Americana imagery. They regale their audiences with stories of sunshine and romance, God and The Devil,
“What’s not to love? The velvety allure of vocal harmony, Bluegrassy instrumentation drizzled like honey, engaging Gothic narratives that both worry and warm. In the tradition of Johnny and June, Gillian and Dave, the Melbourne-based couple captivate the listener as a fine-tuned unit…” Rhythms Magazine

2025 is an election year, and for too long the major political parties have ignored the regions of this vast brown land.

That is why the FRPP (Frenzal Rhomb Political Party) has today announced, on its 25th-ish anniversary, a pledge to bring the songs of A Man’s Not A Camel into regional centres across Australia.

“It is a failure of the major political parties and stain on the very history of this great nation, that simply because you live outside of the major city centres, for the last two and a half decades you have been deprived of sweet guitar riffs, 90s slap bass, sick drum beats, and harmonised rhymes about beer. The FRPP’s A Man’s Not A Camelpaign pledges to end that drought, and bring the songs of Frenzal Rhomb’s majestic, iconic, exalted album A Man’s Not A Camel BACK to regional Australia.

We will make sure no town* will ever again go without seeing songs like “Never Had So Much Fun”, “We’re Going Out Tonight” and “You Are Not My Friend” as they were truly intended. Live, loud, and played by people 25-ish years older than when they were recorded.

No, Frenzal Rhomb cannot balance the budget. Nor can we solve Australia’s housing crisis. We can’t even produce green carbon to get us to net zero (but then again no one can). But we CAN bring A Man’s Not A Camel to the beer-soaked stages of regional Australia. And you CAN trust us, we’re the ones who told you that interesting historical fact about dinosaurs in song. Also it can’t be pork-barreling; none of us eat meat.

You need to be 18+ to attend this event.

A Fundraising Dinner hosted by the William Campbell Foundation. We will be celebrating the successes of William Campbell College in achieving outstanding educational outcomes for students. This special event will be held at the Kiama Pavilion on Friday, 10th October 2025.

William Campbell College is a purpose-built special assistance school in Nowra Hill, that offers unique educational programs to support students in K-8, who are impacted by trauma and are struggling to cope in mainstream schooling. We recognise that there are many children who regularly require additional support in their academic learning, emotional development and evolving of social skills that is not readily available in mainstream schools. Our aim is to provide academic, emotional, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual supports to meet the needs of these children in an inclusive learning environment.

Our Annual Fundraising Dinner will celebrate the achievements of our wonderful students and dedicated staff. It is also an opportunity to raise much-needed funds that will directly support the further development of the school’s premises with Stages 2 and 3. With this development we will be able to accommodate the families on our waitlist.

Tickets will be available for purchase starting Sunday, 1st June 2025 on our website: https://www.williamcampbellcollege.nsw.edu.au/events.
