The Annual OCI Xmas will return this weekend as a host of the city’s most beloved acts descend on the Lyneham pub on Saturday afternoon. Evan Buckley, Flik, Manchild & The Blues Kids, Tiernan and Chris Harland Blues Band will be on hand to ring in the festive season.
Singer-songwriter-storyteller Darren Hanlon will be in a holiday mood as well when he stops in at Smith’s Alternative on Sunday. Braidwood legend Lily Morris will be in support as Hanlon makes his 18th Christmas pilgrimage to the national capital.
Elsewhere, punk power trio Box Dye will launch their new single ‘Princess’ at The Front, Rob Aspinall will bid a fond farewell to the ACT at UC Hub, and Crooked Colours will take over the auditorium at Kambri, all on Saturday night.
