ACOUSTIC ROUTES SPECIAL JULY CONCERT
MUNRO, O'CALLAGHAN AND TITCHENER
An extra July concert and a special one, featuring a trio of Australia's top folk musicians.
John Munro, Mike O'Callaghan and Pete Titchener, all well respected musicians in their own right, are on a musical journey making a new sound for themselves.
It was the internationally successful folk band Colcannon that brought these musicians together. After 21 years of harmonies Colcannon put down their instruments only to be picked up again a short while later by these three good friends.
Those familiar with the work of Eric Bogle would also be familiar with his guitarist of 35 years, John Munro. John continues to spread his musical talent with this trio as well as performing with Bogle and, together with Mike O'Callaghan, Australia's longest running (original line-up) Bluegrass band, Country Express.
Pete Titchener can also be seen on stage with Eric Bogle and as a regular accompanist to Maria Forde, not to mention his behind the scenes work producing demos for the up and coming generation of acoustic musicians.
Each member also brings with him an impressive catalogue of original songs and arrangements.
That leaves one final element that comes together on stage. The chemistry between the three 'old boys' spills out into the audience and it's the atmosphere of a Munro, O'Callaghan and Titchener concert that has people talking long after the performance is over.
Munro, O'Callaghan & Titchener are the real deal. This honest, unvarnished approach to their music is most refreshing, some would even say radical - Eric Bogle
