Curryfest 2010 – WILL BE HOTTER THAN EVER!
More information to be posted soon....
What was on last year 2009 :
Bhangranights.
Bhangranights began as a team of 2 in 1997 with a main goal of providing the
local community (in Brisbane) with an entertainment portal for people with similar
backgrounds and roots to keep in touch with each other and their love of Indian
music.
Since the establishment, 8 years on we have now grown to a group of 5
dedicated members who are passionate about our music and have shared that passion with over 20 000 patrons all over the world. Having
travelled to London, Singapore, Indonesia, Auckland not to mention every capital city in Australia, we
are an international professional outfit. Our official tour with Panjabi MC in
Australia is a testament to our professionalism on the Bhangra scene.
Music production is our natural progression forward. We are confident that with
our percussionists, musicians, dj’s, producers and drive for perfection, we will
make our mark in Australia and put our country on the world map when it comes
to Bhangra. Having being approached by record companies who are feeling the
Bhangra wave, we truly believe that with the local talent available the right
avenues and foundations have been set for a positive 2005 and beyond. The establishment of the Bhangranights website
www.bhangranights.com
in 2001 has provided us with an opportunity for the Bhangra loving community
young and old to get together and see what we are doing to support the local and
international community. It also enables up and coming event organisers to
advertise their events to expose other community members about Bhangra music. This website also represents our level professionalism and support to the
community as a whole.
Bhangranights is about a group of people who are passionate about the music.
All over the world Indian artists, dj’s and producers have worked tirelessly to
promote Bhangra. With the dedication and continuous hard work, we strive to be
the first professional group who make people in UK, USA, Canada and India realise that Australia has got some great home grown talent. We hope that we
are the start of that second wave.
Bhangranights.

Headland
Headland is based in the Woolgoolga area and grew out of a fertile collision of diverse musical styles. They were all taken by the freshness, fun and raw energy that they found in playing together. They have a core repertoire of wild jigs and reels, Celtic and Australian songs and traditional ballads but also play grinding blues and original compositions and contemporary music. 
Headland comprises Kevin Tierney (guitar / mandolin / harmonica / vocals), Mark Feeney
(irish flute / tin whistles / mandolin), Robbie Kirwan (lead vocals/ guitar), John Gallagher (vocals / guitar), Steve Dunick (fiddle / mandolin /vocals)

BOOM…
Boom is a vibrant and multitalented Percussion group based in Bellingen, NSW.
Their rootsy sound is driven by drums:- Djembes, Congas, Dun-Dun, Darrabuka, Bass and Toms. Melodic and harmonic spice is sprinkled in with bamboo flutes, vocals, guitar and Marimba.
Boom music is the product of a creative melting pot- a combination of original songs and grooves, ancient rhythms, inspired improvisations and funky flute rhymes. This is all brewed by five highly talented and fun loving North Coast musicians.
Boom have inspired listeners and dancers on the North Coast for many years, enjoying a dedicated, and increasing audience. They have proven their versatility, able to entertain in a cruisy café atmosphere or provide non-stop dance grooves, as was the case with the now legendary ‘Missabotti’ & ‘Behind the Curtain’ parties, the Wollumbin Festival and the nationally acclaimed Bellingen Global Carnival.
Boom are 5 vibrant and dynamic guys who are on the move. Established as the ‘in demand’ world-music and dance band on the Mid-North Coast, the Boomers are keen to bring their music to a wider audience.
Boomers: Alon Schmuel, Darren Lee, Luke Rhodes, Phil Young, Justin Wilkinson.
“…Innovative, unique and downright sweaty tunes”
“That funky flute blows me away”
“I’ve never danced so much”
