Get your gumboots out, all is not lost.
While we mourn the loss of Corinbank 2012 to the foul weather there’s still something to do on Friday night.
The Polish White Eagle Club in O’Connor is going to be playing host to the orphaned artists (musical, performing, visual) this Friday night.
More details to follow.
UPDATE 01/03/12 14:42:
This in from the Canberra Musicians Club:
The Corinbank Cancellation Consolation Congregation
White Eagle Polish Club
Friday 2nd March, 7pm till lateCorinbank 2012 has been dealt a terrible blow by this extraordinary weather system, but with a number of performers already in town and otherwise idle, and with hundreds of culture lovers bereft of their much anticipated weekend entertainment, a coalition of people have hastily pulled together a small dose of Corinbank to bring them all together.
Fully endorsed by Corinbank, this event is free for those who pre-purchased festival tickets, and all profits from the evening will go to help Corinbank pay some of the inevitable debts arising from what must be a devastating cancellation.
Guests will be treated to a constellation of entertainments musical, artistic, circusy, slow food banquety (TBC) and all chai enriched.
Proudly (and sadly) supported by: Canberra Musicians Club, the Polish Club, le Petite Circus`
