Sticky Carpets

Podcast from the shadow of Mt Roland at Tasmania's most chill festival.   

Can a festival continue in a torrential downpour?  Is organised dancing just too stressful?  Is sobbing ok in the middle of a violin performance?  How will Jules go in her debut Ukulele performance?  All these questions will be answered and more wine tips from the hosts.

Features Austral, Dave McNamara, Daniel J Townsend and Clementine's Choir.

Episode 4 features Juliet and Michelle embarking on an epic gig crawl around Hobart.  They discuss the characters they meet and the fun experiences in live music.  Bob Dylan turns 80 and Michelle finds a local super group playing a tribute.  Finally, Michelle and His Grumpiness go and see punk sensation The Chats.

Along with guest presenter Bella (aged 9 and a half), Juliet and Michelle explore whether or not they are grown up and sensible enough to attend the East Coast Harvest Odyssey (ECHO) Festival.  There is music, science, wine tasting, cultural experiences, new people to meet and other fun adventures.

In this episode we say, "boooo" to covid.  We talk about what we did when we had a gig postponed, we hang out with friends from interstate and discuss the great friends you can make through live music,  we have a chat about the great Weddings Parties Anything and reveal a new bar we discovered in Hobart.

Live music featured this fortnight - Weddings Parties Anything, Dave Steel and Ross Smithard, The Polaroids, Nineteen-20, Daniel J Townsend, Ben Salter, The Bad Dad Orchestra, Kutcha Edwards, Pete Cornelius and Band and The Single's Bar.

In the pilot episode Michelle and Juliet discuss the pros and cons of big music festivals versus intimate gigs, partying on St Patricks Day and whether or not the piano accordion is the best folk/punk instrument.  Hear all about - Summersalt (Emily Wurramara, Boy and Bear, John Butler, The Teskey Brothers) at the Botanical Gardens; Ben Salter and Van Walker at Gibbo's Shed; Streams of Whiskey at The Republic.
