I LOVE music

When I wake up in the middle of the night it’s always music to blame, most often an earworm – a song that is just going around and around on repeat.

Sometimes that song is annoying – the theme song for Bananas in Pyjamas – but mostly it’s some awesome thing I just heard.

There are so many exciting earworms I am hoping to catch on the weekend and I have downloaded the Bluesfest app to plan what I want to see.

On Thursday I will definitely catch the Welcome to Country at Crossroads and just stay there to see Nikki Hill. Then I will be front and centre at the Juke Joint for Southern Avenue, then back to the Cross for Spinifex Gum. I’ll be back at the Juke Joint for Larkin Poe (make sure you catch them at least once) then back for Nathaniel Rateliff.

On Friday I plan to see Southern Avenue (again), then get my guitar fix with Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram and Marcus King, and then later Elvis Costello.

Saturday my choice is definitely Hussy Hicks, Allison Russell AND Jackson Browne! As well as Buddy Guy and Femi Kuti.

Sunday I’ll make sure I see Rockwiz, Bobby Alu, Ash Grunwald, and Mavis Staples – oh I LOVE her! And then Trombone Shorty.

On the last day I am heading in early to see Steve ’n’ Seagulls, and the Busking Grommet winner before checking out Yirrmal before Roshani, Xavier Rudd then the Doobie Brothers!

Then it’s a day in bed for me listening to earworms.

PS – I apologise if you can’t get Bananas in Pyjamas out of your head now. Baaaaaaaaa-Nanas in P-jamas...
