Welcome to Fringe ’09 – The National Multicultural Fringe and Festival Club.

With hundreds of per-formers over nine nights, our feature this year is the

great music our fine city produces – with a few blow-ins thrown in just to prove that other states and territories can do it well, too!

Bands take to the stage every night in vari-ous genres from rock to country, bluegrass to funk; there are local groups-made-good like Casual Projects, Roshambo and D’opus, Omar Musa and The Cashews (just to name but a few) and there are hot interstate acts such as The Crooked Fiddle Band, The Snowdroppers, Erin Black and the Page-

turners and Triple J Unearthed winner, the songbird with a steel stringed guitar, Abbie Cardwell. Then there’s Aussie music legend Dave Graney playing with his band The Lurid Yellow Mist – he’s in a category all by himself.

Theatre-wise our “Court @ Fringe” program, features a premiere work by Canberra Youth Theatre Six Billion Love, Little Girl Lost in the Devil’s Black Beard from rapidly rising performance band Mr Fibby, the return of our popular show from last year by Centre-piece Theatre, Hot Audio Wallpaper, and sick circus in Le Petite Sideshow. Watch out for Shadow House Pits performing our third instalment of Theatre in a Car - Dying Love, Reflections of Love on the Windscreen of a Car directed by Joe Woodward; and don’t forget to visit our international stencil art exhibi-tion Your Kid Can’t Do This at the ACT

Legislative Assembly, first floor gallery.

Then there is A Stacked Deck – Fringe’s three-day celebration and salute to the art form that is Burlesque presented by the Magnificent Liberté Bell and Gale &Valance. Turn the pages, see the biggest bringing together of burlesque performers ever seen - and join in, too, with workshops galore...

Thanks to all our sponsors, in particular the ACT Government through the National Multicultural Festival, DFO, and our media partners CityNews, and the only other mag not to wipe ya bum with, BMA.

Come enjoy. Fringe is (mostly) FREE, FREE, FREE, I TELLS YA!!!
