August 29th, 2024Play Music on The Porch Day… at Kingston

Multiple musicians and community musical groups will be performing at the Commercial Hotel in Kingston as part of this Saturday’s global Play Music on The Porch Day.   

A world-wide event, every year musicians in more than 70 countries and more than 1000 cities across the globe participate, and are encouraged to register their location at Play Music on The Porch Day – A worldwide celebration of peace and music.

The Commercial Hotel (pictured above) will once again host a wide variety of live musical performances starting at noon and running through to 4pm on August 31.

Musos lining up to help give the local pub’s “porch” a good shaking include Creswick Drum Circle, Skedaddle featuring banjo, guitar and fiddle, Bec Matthews and Jamie featuring kora, guitar and banjo, The Roundabout Folk Band, Hands On Drum Group, Stella Savy with her guitar, plus Ballarat’s Thursday Night Choir and the Creswick Chorus.

All are invited to get along and catch the live music at the Kingston pub, but to participate in Play Music on The Porch Day all anyone need do is get outside and make music.

Participants are invited to also share a video of themselves making music on the day on social media using the hashtag #playmusicontheporchday.
