    Live Music the Rochford Way

    Missing your favourite festivals? Join us under the Rochford outdoor pavilion for a Sunday afternoon of Australia’s best Celtic & Roots music in a fantastic double bill with undercover seating, wine bar and food truck.

    Claymore are Australia’s premier Celtic Rock Experience, international festival favourites and a feature of the Australian Celtic & Roots festival circuit for over 20 years. Willy Hutton and an all star band of multi-instrumentalists band are joined by the Glenbrae Celtic Dancers to present a huge night of Celtic classics through to power ballads and the UK’s finest rock anthems from bands such as U2, Simple Minds & Pink Floyd plus some home grown AC/DC!

    The award winning Rich Davies & The Low Road deliver a “foot stomping contemporary folk attack” (Mick Thomas – Weddings Parties, Anything), featuring trad-roots instrumentation, 5 part gang-vocals, and emotive narrative-driven songs delivered with a ferocity any rock band would be proud of. Drawing from Davies’ Scottish heritage they combine their love of folk traditions – encompassing Celtic, mountain music, and shanty – with 60’s Folk Revival influences and a healthy dose of Springsteen-meets-the-Pogues attitude!

    Enjoy an outdoor /undercover live music experience to remember amongst the grapevines and green surroundings of the Yarra Valley, just 15 minutes easy drive from Lilydale or 60 mins from the CBD.

    Wine bar, food truck, undercover seating.
