ARTISTS LINE UP IN THE SNOW

The
Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music Festival is back on the June long weekend - 10-13 June 2011 - for its third year.
Perisher cranked out an unforgettable festival in 2010 with blistering bands, 43cm of snow and record audiences rocking out till late into the night so make sure you make The Snowies the must-see festival this winter.
The 2011 festival will once again be one of the most unique festivals in the country with a stellar line-up set to wow Perisher with over 130 concerts at 10 venues across the resort.
ARTISTS:CHRISTINE ANU, ASH GRUNWALD, THE SUNNY COWGIRLS, ERIC BOGLE, AFRO MANDINKO, SKIPPING GIRL VINEGAR plus Azadoota, Big Erle, Brett Campbell. Dallas Frasca, Doc Jones and the Lechery Orchestra, Franklyn B Paverty Bush Band, Ganga Giri, Geoffrey Graham, Gleny Rae Virus and her Tamworth Playboys, Greg Champion, Heath Cullen and The 45, Jarmbi’s Corrobboree, Jiggery, Jim Haynes, Marshall and The Fro, Messups Puppets, Mike Strelley Martin, Orange Blossom, Richard Perso, The Borderers, The Bearded Gypsy Band, The Con Artists, The Go Set, The Stiff Gins, The Sunny Cowgirls, The Woohoo Revue, Wongawilli
With over 35 acts shaking up a storm from Friday 10th to Monday 13th June, and early bird tickets only $99 and bed and breakfast accommodation and festival packages from $299, this is one very affordable festival.

Make sure you don’t miss the 2011 Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music – the only music festival in Australia in the snow.
 
KIDS and FAMILY FUN DAY TICKET

Children are always welcome at the festival with under 15s free with a paying adult, and a dazzling program to shake their socks off.
This year the festival has a special Family Fun Day Ticketand for $39 on Saturday or Sunday a parent can get entry to all venues and to the kids stage, entry to all music workshops, a free ride on the Perisher Quad Express and a 10% Family Discount at the new Smiggins Skating Rink.
 

Given the Snowy Mountains’ connection with one of Australia’s most favourite poems, ‘The Man From Snowy River’, it’s not surprising that poetry and verse will feature prominently.

The
Broken Ski Award will be awarded for the best submitted original verse and the Snowy Poetry Cup will be given to the best recited poem at the festival on Sunday 12th June. Enter on the day  - you need to be a festival patron.

Broken Ski Award entries are to be submitted electronically through the website by 8th June: www.snowymountainsofmusic.com.au
With daily poetry brunches, morning teas and events led by some of Australia’s funniest poets, including Jim Haynes and Geoffrey Graham, it promises to be a poetry lovers field day.
