Alan & Kristin Kelly are two founding members of the well known Irish powerhouse band the Barleyshakes. Together they bring you upbeat sounds of Ireland on sweet sensuous fiddle, and spirited guitar. Recipients of Queensland Music Award for World music and notably, Alan has recorded as a bodhran soloist on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.
Having performed at concert halls, clubs, and festivals in over 25 countries, the Shakes take you on a journey from Ireland’s happier pre-famine days, and follow with songs of emigration, desperation, resilience, and struggle. Spirits will be lifted from some haunting compositions by humorous tales and sprightly jigs and reels. The modern Irish movement also features in their live repertoire featuring todays dance grooves while honouring the tradition of Irish music.
Also, Scottish, Canadian and Eastern European compositions feature, alongside original and traditional Irish tunes and songs.

Hellllloooooooo!!!
We're back!

First concert in our new location at the end of May 😁😁

Have you never been to Wondecla Sessions before???

Let me tell you all about it.....

Typically, once a month (variable) I host a full-time musician (or duo/trio/band) in my back yard.

This all started when the dreaded C-word struck..... and many of my musician acquaintances found themselves out of work and seriously having to consider giving up their craft in order to support themselves..........

NOOOOO!

The ARTS MUST BE SUPPORTED!!!!! (well, that's my belief!!!)

Anyways... to cut a long story short, I started having concerts in my back yard.

It has been one of my most gratifying experiences to date....

Usually it's on a Sunday afternoon between 2-5pm.
Bring a blanket/chair, your picnic and whatever you would like to drink.
And a hat. SunSmart!

Always travelling musicians (not local musicians that we have regular access to) (sorry... no judgement.... I'm trying to encourage/support musicians to continue their tours to FNQ, every little bit helps)

Always quality music. The musicians that I host have a high level of performance skills and are often passing through on tour to a festival somewhere.....

Variety of genres.... anything from folk to blues, Rock to Jazz, traditional to country. There's something for everyone.

Respectful seating...... I always encourage those who like to just listen to sit up close, and those who are here for more of a social occasion to hang back a little and respect that. Frivolity still reigns.

Seriously.... it's the perfect Sunday afternoon session. The week is done, as are the chores.... it's time to sit back, gather some friends and enjoy life. It may not always be your preferred genre..... but it IS always fabulous. Just ask anyone who has been here before.

Camping available on request.

Stayed tuned!
We're going to start with a little bit of Irish 😊

Wondering what’s been happening in Wondecla???
Well, lots!!!

For starters… it’s a new venue ♥️
Only 5 minutes away from the old venue… and it’s gorgeous.

Irregular Sunday afternoons will be starting up again at the end of May. 😂😊

I am aiming to continue to host talented, travelling musicians who make the long journey to FNQ.

Lots to prepare beforehand… a new stage, parking, shade… picnic and camping spots…. (Volunteer options available!! Ha! My biceps aren’t huge!)

Sunday afternoons at their best… that’s all I can say.

Looking forwards to a new chapter in the journey.

Stay tuned!
