Tales from the High Stool - 9pm
Pádraig Ó Cuinn hosts this program on 2RRR with interviews with people involved in local & global music. Guests are invited into a virtual 'pub' to sit on 'The High Stool', & discuss music, musical influences, & whatever they like, with their virtual 'bar-person'.
Pádraig's guest this week and playing live in the studio is the musical trio who kicked off this year's Sydney Fleadh, Kejafi.
Kejafi takes listeners on a musical journey inspired by the music, dance and piping from the Scottish Highlands and far flung islands at the northern edge of the world. A repertoire of traditional and original tunes and songs celebrate a deep Australian and Scottish connection, performed with an exciting, fresh ensemble of dual fiddles, an octave mandolin and haunting vocals lamenting lost love and telling tales of the battlefield.
Send suggestions for music, suitable guest etc. to Patrick.

Song of the Ocean - 1pm
Maria Lindsay is very excited to announce the premiere of her new work "Song of the Ocean", which she wrote for the Sydney Biennale!
Like many Australians, she is deeply drawn to the ocean, so working on this was for her an absolute joy! It is made up of four short pieces - The Heartbeat, The Song, The Dance and The Horizon. It is a blend of soundscapes and melodies describing our oceans, from its depths and vastness to its grand - as well as its tiniest and playful - inhabitants, as well as the soaring song itself.
This event is very casual - and free of charge! The idea is for everyone to gather among the ocean-based artworks at the Biennales's Rivus exhibition at Pier 1/2. The performance will start at 1pm and will be finished by 1.30, so you might like to plan a further viewing of the galleries, or just a harbourside coffee and stroll. More info.
