About this concert
In 2018, Things Of Stone & Wood's multi-instrumentalist Justin Brady and lead singer Greg Arnold played a duo show in Sydney and thought "well, that was awesome ... let's do that again". They found that folk-rock energy which was always at the heart of the 90's chart topping acoustic outfit, and felt at home in the stripped back set up. Greg has just returned from living in Switzerland where his wife Helen (yes, that Helen) was working for the Red Cross, whilst Justin is back touring after his house burnt down in the Mallacoota bushfires. Both musicians are highly decorated - winning ARIAs with TOSAW as well as having decorated careers on their own. Justin has won the Tamworth's Golden Harmonica Award and Greg was APRA Songwriter of the Year. But, playing live is what they do best of all and they can't wait to perform together again. This is a chance to hear songs from the Happy Birthday Helen EP as well as TOSAW classic hits in this intimate and very special acoustic set up.

Fantastic venue and a Fantastic performance by the trio. It was great to see Greg at the funky piano even if he wasn't wearing a cape or tails!
