Live music for all tastes is on offer at Sydney’s newest festival, Sydney Solstice.
The mercury may be falling but the heat is building for the June 8 launch of Sydney Solstice, a new two-week festival designed to entice Sydneysiders (and out-of-towners) off the couch and into four inner-city neighbourhoods to ring in the longest night of the year. With a vast and eclectic line-up from restaurants, pubs, laneways, city landmarks, art galleries, museums, music venues and on the harbour, who cares that it’s cold outside?
One day, these little old ladies came in, two of them. First of all, they were looking for their money in their change purse and one of them said, âOh, we have to help these poor Aboriginal people.â And I thought, âI should have turned my diamonds around.â And I said, âWho says Iâm poor?â
Another guy, he came there and he said to me, âWhere do you get the kangaroo from?â And I said, âI jumped the fence at Taronga zoo last night.â You have to have a sense of humour, otherwise it doesnât work.
And then Kylie would come over and sheâd buy all the lemon myrtle butter biscuits.
