Saturday, second annual World Circus and Cabaret Festival program launch, Palais-Hepburn

Friday, Aurora, Blue Bean Cafe

Saturday, The Old Married Couple, Blue Bean Cafe.

Riley and Katie Beech are only in their 20s but they're already have the moniker of being an Old Married Couple. Vintage in style and sound, The Old Married Couple combine a witty song writing style with a distinctive kazoo and fun-infused swing-folk sound.

The indie folk duo is a retro styled acoustic folk band who sing stories of life and love from the perspective of young lovers.

Sunday, Ellerby, Blue Bean Cafe

Thursday- Saturday, "The Wedding Singer", Castlemaine Secondary College, August 29, 30 and 31, Phee Broadway Theatre

A classic, very retro, big-cast school musical with more than 50 students from years 7 to 12 involved in this production as part of the cast, crew and band.

All participants have completed a run of comprehensive rehearsals in the past term and are eager to perform to the wider community.

A spectacular piece of theatre - apparently, I'm told - and not to be missed.

Directed by some guy who writes a music column!

Tickets at trybooking.
