Junk Band comes to Woy Woy

The Troubadour Central Coast will be presenting Mic Conway and the National Junk Band on January 20 at the Peninsula Theatre.

"In this day of concerns for our environment and its future, we all need to be recycling whatever we can and Mic Conway's Band does it with an extreme flair and a wonderfully wild musical sound," said Troubadour publicity officer Ms Leila Desborough.

"Even the kitchen sink has found a place of honour in this group and many more metallic items will show the magical sounds they can make.

"Perhaps you will come away from the concert with a whole new opinion of your cluttered garage shelves?

"Along with their concern for our environment, the Junk Band will add their amazing style and humour so be prepared to have a lot of fun and even enjoy some great music.

"Witness fire eating, illusion, passion, irreverent satire, singing saws, flying chooks and musical mayhem.

"A modern Vaudeville approach along with music you can really move along with will make the evening an experience that will not be forgotten.

"Mic's brother Jim Conway resides in our area as well so there is a lot of talent in the family."

Ms Desborough said that for four years the National Junk Band has had toes tapping and jaws dropping at festivals, pubs, joints, radio, and TV.

More information on the band can be found on its website at www.nationaljunkband.com.

The concert will take place on January 20, from 7.30pm, at the Peninsula Theatre.

General admission is $25, concession and students are $20 and Troubadour members are $18

Tickets are available from Laycock St Booking Office, Peninsula Music at 38 George St Woy Woy or from Troubadour Central Coast Inc at www.troubadour.org.au.

This will be the first in a series of concerts the Troubadour Central Coast is presenting with the support of Gosford Council.

"We hope to benefit the community by giving them the chance to see quality traditional groups that normally would not be available in the area," said Ms Desborough.
