Coburg Night Market 2015
A wonderland of afro-beats, fierce dancers and honeyed-harmonies.
Overview
Come Friday night, the Coburg Night Market is undoubtedly the place to be. The market in Melbourne's north, which starts this Friday, boasts crafty gifts from local artisans, tastes from food truckers, and music of all kinds to vibe to.
The market is also the perfect place to embrace your inner child (if you can't at least take one with you) and receive a lick of paint to the face, before you jump on a castle and slip down an inflatable slide.
For the more tranquil reveller, wander over to the key stage where music will be floating to your ears from a multitude sounds. It would be unhealthy to miss Public Opinion Six, who are delivering funk medicine directly to your soul with their West African afro-beats — a consciousness melding messages of political justice and positivity with fiery beats and rhythm.
One-man blues band Juzzie Smith will be there with his eight-strap harmonica belt as well as the honeyed-harmonies from Little Rabbit who mix bluegrass and old timey sounds with their real fancy finger-work on the strings. Also making an appearance on stage will be Perch Creek, The Everymen and Tracey McNeil & the GoodLife.
After you've finishing rocking along to these sick beats, get a little sicker by rolling over to see some fierce divas dance. The Brunswick BeyDance broads will show you how to twerk, in one helluva flawless fashion. Then be prepared to swing and jive along to Anna’s GoGo Academy, who have been known to play everything from Elvis' Jailhouse Rock to ACDC's Jailbreak.
There will also be food on hand from Mr Burger, Lil Nomnoms, White Guy Cooks Thai, Billy Van Creamery and Burn City Smokers.
The Coburg Night Market will run every Friday for four weeks, starting November 27, 5.30 - 10pm. For more information, visit coburgnightmarket.com
