BOTH CONCERTS SOLD OUT!

Critically acclaimed musician and storyteller, Mikelangelo, joins members of Tasmania's iconic Van Diemen's Band to bring you 'Songs of the Sea'.

Summoning from the depths of the Derwent and beyond, this classical-folk collaboration will see the irreverent Mikelangelo perform with Van Diemen's Fiddles and special guest artists, Luke Plumb (Mandolin) and Dave McNamara (Piano Accordion) to lure you with mellifluous myth.

Hosted on the majestic tall ship James Craig, step aboard for this one-of-a kind event, take a tour and immerse yourself in ‘salty’ tales of yore.

A true restoration of a majestic tall ship (not a replica), the James Craig was rescued as a rusting wreck from Tasmania's Recherche Bay in 1972. There are only four 19th century barques left in the world capable of sailing. James Craig is the only one in the Southern Hemisphere.
