Recent concert venue change
Concerts have now moved to the Senior Citizens Hall, Ringwood East.
The Raglins perform contemporary Australian folk music as you've never heard it before. They take traditional ballads from original sources, source recordings and old books, and create contemporary folk music which is fresh, beautiful and uniquely Australian.
The duo is made up of award winning guitarist Robert Hillman (Port Fairy Emerging Artist of the Year) and classically trained vocalist Hannah Pelka-Caven (B.Mus, Liz Johnston Memorial Award for Vocal Excellence). The Raglins were runners up in the Folk Alliance Youth Awards for both 2013 and 2014.
With his clear, bardic voice, deeply imbued sense of rhythm, and intense devotion to his craft, Tasmanian troubadour Jesse McCormack performs Anglo-Celtic and Nordic folk songs and quirky original compositions. His minstrelsy escorts listeners into an experience of folkloric storytelling, conjuring a sound reminiscent of artists such as Steeleye Span or Loreena McKennitt and vibes of bohemian Achilleanism.
