Campfire Sessions at Cockatoo Island
Let's be honest, summer nights are best spent with live music around an island campfire.
Overview
One of Sydney's favourite underground music spaces, 505, have programmed a very special series of performances on Cockatoo Island they've dubbed Campfire Sessions. In an intimate setting — yep, you guess it, focused around a campfire — Campfire Sessions offers up sets from local artists as the sun goes down over the harbour.
On Saturday, January 17, catch Martha Marlow; recognised for her beautiful musical rendition of Linda Ronstadt's 'Feels Like Home' from most recent QANTAS advertising campaign. Marlow will be performing on Saturday evening followed by ARIA-nominated guitar virtuoso Damian Wright on Sunday, January 18.
Campfire Sessions is a particularly ideal date option for the summer — Cockatoo Island is always a novelty place to visit even without the bonus of live music. If you're feeling especially romantic, make the call.
