Smith's Alternative

The Embassy of Spain and @Smiths_Alt proudly collaborated to host the exclusive concert of classical guitarist Javier García Verdugo in Australia.

Ahead of their gig at Smith's tonight, The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee were on ABC Radio Sydney yesterday afternoon talking with Richard Glover. [the segment starts at 37:28] abc.net.au/listen/program…

Can't believe @LizStringerAU is finally coming to #Canberra AND at the very best venue @Smiths_Alt AND she's already sold it out. How bloody good. I've listened to First Time Really Feeling consistently for 2yrs. Dangerous was my most played song of 2022. I'm just so excited.

This Sunday come along and dance, drum, play, sing or just enjoy some classic Egyptian belly dance; music, dance rhythms and songs from North Africa and the Middle East. Entry is free. Dancers, instrumentalists, percussionists, singers and listeners of all ages welcome.
