Lyall Moloney
In March last year Lyall Moloney set off on an adventure to Ethiopia. Within hours of arrival his pre-conceptions of the nation were shattered in a barrage of beauty, culture and friendly faces. The abundance of music, dancing, smiling, singing, coffee, culture, history and wisdom inspire Lyall so much that he spent the next four months recording in a hut in Barhir Dar. The result was an the album that combines ambience and atmosphere with truthful and haunting storytelling.
Ashleigh Mannix
Songstress, Ashleigh Mannix started singing and playing guitar in her early teens. Only a few years later she braved the streets of her hometown in Canberra and began busking, but is was at 16 yrs old she had her first major moment as a female vocalist when she sung the national anthem for the Prime Minister in The Great Hall of Parliament House.
A modern day medley of Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin and Stevie Wonder, Ashleigh is constantly embracing new influences to evolve the sound of a young woman, and one with a message to deliver. When asked what that message truly encompasses, she’ll smile and bluntly declare, "I just want to sing dammit!"
