North Storm is a Darwin-based Celtic roots show band bringing together traditional Celtic music with rock, blues and a distinctly Australian flavour. Mixing powerful songs, driving rhythms, whistles, bodhrán and plenty of audience participation, the band moves from atmospheric ballads and traditional favourites to original songs inspired by Australia, Scotland, Ireland and life in the Top End. With shanties, stories, humour and the occasional unexpected twist, North Storm isn’t about simply playing a set — it’s about putting on a show. Raise your glass and come along for the storm.

22 October
What comes first: the ‘art’ or the ‘audience’? This evening Critical Conversations gives the platform to commercial comedians who consider risk, audience and art and the ability to pay their bills when they create their shows. Like a punchier version of Sliding Doors, 3 comedians will share material they create with their audiences in mind followed by the material they really want to do, before a candid, and (likely) hilarious dive into the topic: Audience < Art ? In an age where everything is ‘artist-led’ and financial risk is subsidised by the government, have we forgotten our audiences? If audiences are considered first, does the work actually become ‘less risky’? Join Amy Hetherington, Richard Fejo, Albert Belz and Brown’s Mart to set fire to this triggering topic!
