Event Details

Shane Howard comes to Craigie Knowe Vineyard

He's played for Prime Ministers, Aboriginal elders and environmental campaigners, from concert halls to protest sites and remote campfires.

The founding member of the legendary Australian band Goanna, his iconic song, ‘Solid Rock, Sacred Ground’, lit a fire for the rights of Aboriginal people in Australia more than 40 years ago, that hasn't gone out. It’s been recorded and performed, many times in the ensuing years and translated into several Aboriginal Languages.

Howard is a respected senior statesman in Australia who continues to work as a poet, musician, writer, singer, speaker, producer and mentor. He was awarded an honorary Doctorate in 2022 and is currently writing his autobiography.

Performing solo, Howard will share songs and stories from his decades long journey, with special guest Niamh Oh and local performers.

Music commences 1.30pm
