Mick Thomas has been a staple of Melbourne’s music scene for well over 30 years.
Raconteur, troubadour, balladeer and poet, he is best known as the song master of icons Weddings Parties Anything. His band The Roving Commission featuring Squeezebox Wally on Piano Accordion, Ben Franz (The Waifs) on bass, Dave Folley on drums (Tex Perkins) and bright new talent on guitar and vocals, Brooke Taylor with Mick’s unique mix of folk, roots and country and occasional cameo by ex WPA violinist, Jen Anderson.
Mick brought in 2023 with yet another album, “Where only Memory Can Find You” which hit the ARIA Top 20 and then took off to the UK to play Glastonbury sharing the stage with Billy Bragg.
Fresh from another iconic run of Christmas show at the end of 23’, he comes to Banyena to showcase songs from the latest album but also expect hits from the Roving Commission’s back catalogue as well as a sprinkling of Weddoes classics.
This is a BYO event, with camping available along the creek. A BBQ will be available for purchase at the venue.
