BMC @ Turning Wave Festival of Irish & Australian Music, September 2014

It was our first visit to this Festival & we hope to be back.



Our first appearance was a 60 min concert of the Songs of John Dengate on the Friday evening which had a small but perfectly formed cast as most of our members couldn't 
get to Yass in time.
