Between The Bays : Music News

Mornington Peninsula’s Penbank School – host to Between the Bays Music Festival this weekend – has got to be one of the trendiest schools around town. It’s fair to assume that we all wish that our schools had replaced the daggy old fundraising fete – complete with the now politically incorrect ‘pink elephant’ stalls and fairy floss – with a massive day of live Australian music, local gourmet food, wine and beer, loads of rides, notably an inflatable obstacle course!

Just announced as MC at Between The Bays this March the 20th is Colin Lane of Lano and Woodley, and topping the bill is world-weary journeyman Tex Perkins from legendary bands The Cruel Sea and The Beasts Of Bourbon. Also taking the stage are Melbourne’s Lior, Angie Hart, The Fauves, Jordie Lane (see video clip below), Blackchords and Cousin Leonard.

Whether you are the youngest or the oldest in your family, Between The Bays offers people of all ages something to do, listen to, eat, drink and enjoy.
Punters leave at the end of the festival fully satisfied that they have enjoyed a fantastic day full of great Australian music, local Peninsula gourmet food and wine and more than anything, a truly memorable day out.

Between The Bays attendees will be treated to a variable feast of local gourmet food stalls offering a wide range of tastes and smells. There is also the option of packing your own picnic hamper for the day, but please remember, no glass. Did we mention that there will be an array of exceptional local wine and beer, as well as refreshing, non-alcoholic Mango licks? Bon Appetit!
