Regional Vic Tour With This Way North

Hey friends,

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

It’s been two long years since I have seen many of you. I am excited today to let you know my first shows back in the real world are with old mates and indie queens, This Way North. We are headed out on a little Regional Victorian tour to play some of our favourite spots. It is going to be a lot of fun and so special to be back sharing music with old and new friends. For those in regional Vic I hope to catch up at one of the shows.

I hope this is the start of returning to shows again here in Australia and for my friends O.S I hope to come see you sometime in the not too distant future.

Big hugs to you all

Cheers,

Mark

FORUM THEATRE - SOLD OUT - PHOTOS

I was just reminded on social media about last years sold out Forum Theatre show with The Melbourne Indie Voices. It was such a moving experience having the 230 piece Melbourne Indie Voices choir onstage raising the roof around my song Pictou Landing.

EUROPEAN TOUR PHOTOS

Hey friends,

I’m often slow to add things here if at all on the website. Here are some photos from the two German tours from late last year in Oct/Nov and December 2019 with Lilly Among Clouds.

Hopefully I will be able to get back to Europe when all the restrictions open up in 2020.

Keep safe

Cheers,

Mark

PICTOU LANDING FILM - BOAT HARBOUR & THE MILL

PICTOU LANDING FILM LINK https://youtu.be/DDYwZO9Ot44

Please watch this short film I made for my friends in Pictou, Nova Scotia Canada. You may have heard me sing about the First Nations people in Pictou Landing that have endured years of pollution from the mill.

Boat Harbour is considered one of Canada's worst cases of environmental racism.

Declare your support for the closure of Boat Harbour on schedule at https://www.friendsofthenorthumberlan... Please share this film with friends and family

PICTOU LANDING FILM - BACKSTORY

BOAT HARBOUR Accessible only through the woods / gated road. I was taken on a guided tour to see where the mill discharges their pulp waste. Boat Harbour, located in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada was originally used by Pictou Landing First Nation people for fishing, hunting and recreation. In the 1960’s an effluent treatment facility was constructed to discharge the Pulp Mill's waste into boat harbour. The First Nations people were promised this would not effect Boat Harbour or their way of life. Within days of operation all aquatic life died rendering it completely unusable. Boat Harbour is now polluted with mercury, dioxins, furans, chloride, and other toxic heavy metals The current owners of the mill Northern Pulp / Paper Excellence Canada are pushing to extend the use of Boat Harbour past the legislated closure date of 2020

The Mill has been granted multiple extensions since 1995. After 50+ Years of pollution and broken promises. "Boat Harbour must close on schedule, January 31, 2020. We expect nothing less.” - Chief Andrea Paul, Pictou Landing First Nation.


Woodford Folk Festival

Stoked to announce I will be returning to the glorious @woodfordfolkfestival . Woodford is one of those truly special music/art festivals that is jam packed with beautiful programming and audiences alike. One of my favourite shows of all time happened at Woodford a few years back and I’m looking forward to returning this year. You can tell a lot about a festival by their poster art and I love this years art by Artist Gavin Ryan - It’s going to be a special one this year.

See you there x  #woodfordff  #wff2018
