 The Beez

The Beez have furnished their house with musical bric-a-brac from around the world – a potpourri of moving, silly, deep and sometimes meaningless pop and rock songs. These songs are, however, anything but common or garden variety. The four tonal interior decorators from the Beez rearrange and craft a song until a certain stylistically unmistakable Beez Feng Shui emerges.The Beez are at home on any stage and travel light-four voices, two acoustic guitars, an acoustic bass and an accordion and, it has to be said, more than a few costumes…The Beez are renowned as excellent hosts, serving lavish lashings of humour and musicality guaranteed to charm every audience. Their programme ‘’In the House” is (with or without electricity) like a luxury penthouse on the roof of pop and rock history in which everyone finds a sunny room with a view.

Dingo's Breakfast

Roger Montgomery & John Angliss are "The Dingo's Breakfast Duo" (WA's most popular touring folk duo).

When we're joined by Toby Montgomery we become a trio. When Meredith Higgins joins us we're a quartet and when we add Bruce Boyd, we are "The Dingo's Breakfast Oz Music and Poetry Band".

Dingo's Breakfast is the perfect choice for any function with an Australian flavour, whether you are looking for Australian songs, Australian yarns and poems, a full-on bush music concert, or an old-time bush dance.

Another string to the Dingo's Breakfast bow are our Radio Ballads - four of which were commissioned by the ABC FM 'Songs & Stories' programme. This type of show allows the audience to experience a melding of theatre and musical performance.
