We’re performing along with The Other Noonans. It’s the first time we’ve played this Sydney folk club.
We’re back again at one of our favourite festivals! Multiple performances over the weekend.
Ignore the time listed. We’re on 12.30pm to 1.15pm. My laptop is just being a bastard.
Yes, they’ve invited us back. We must be one of Newcastle’s most literate bands (literally!) We will have songs with more words than you could poke a stick at.
We’ll be playing in the courtyard (as long as it doesn’t look as if it could possibly rain). Yes it’s free!

Yes, we’re on again. The only act to have played every Newcastle Fringe. We will have written more new songs by the time this gig comes round (surely!). In a world of change we are a large brown rock.

Nerds are playing the inaugural Bundanoon Folk Festival!
Nerds are playing a gig at the Royal Exchange with the very talented songwriter Derek Dowding. We’re back at the REx at last!
Great to be at snalbans!
At last, back at snalbans!
We’re on at the Scrumpy bar!
We’re on at the Trocadero!
Nerds will play both days in the courtyard outside NUspace just behind city hall. We will play our most literate songs at the NWC. We are chuffed, elated, well-pleased, gruntled, proud, fulfilled, gladsome, gladful, tickety-boo, delightsome, spiffing, exultant, delighted, pleasureful, flattered, happy, cushty, ecstatic, cheery…
Nerds are rocking SJs, again!

Nerds are keen to play KVFF for the first time in ages. This is our first programmed folk festival since since the spicy cough arrived. We’re playing four gigs, including a kids show.
Yes, Clark used to see them when he was still at school, but here we are. Woo hoo!
Nerds come on about 4pm and do two sets.
Tickets at www.trybooking.com/events/landing/951033
Rob and Clark will do Failure to Launch with all the props and instruments included. Poetry books available. Failure comes on at 8pm.
OK, so we're putting the Musical on at Sydney the Folk Festival. There will be two performances, on Saturday afternoon at 4pm and Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Now, the way it's set up is that you have to buy a festival ticket, which is $90 full price for the day or $150 for the whole festival. I know we're awesome, but it's better value for money if you see all the other great festival stuff as well as us. Get tickets online beforehand as it will cost more to try to get in on the day.
Sydney the Folk Musical tells the story of Keira and Billy, polar opposites who travel through this much maligned metropolis, starting at the end of the last ice age, through to the present day.
This extravaganza, spanning 10,000 years and 658 suburbs, featuring a live folk band and a Greek Chorus, is performed by a cast full of Morris dancers (from Sydney of course) and filled with songs penned by Clark Gormley.
The show features twelve original songs, which range in style from popular to sea shanty, traditional folk, rap and beyond. Additionally Gormley has adapted several Shape Note hymn tunes from the Sacred Harp tradition, which are sung a cappella by the Greek Chorus.

It’s been a while since we have played stuff from our glory days, so we thought it was time to dust off our expensive black cattledo… sorry, that should say extensive back-catalog (autocorrect can be really shirt sometimes). From Don’t Augment Well to Copiously Notes, we’re dragging these oldies kicking and screaming into the present daycare. Filled with word association football and witty tong twitters, these songs will fill you with nostrils and take you on a trip down memorandum lane. And we’ll also play some newer stuff, so there’ll be something for evergreen.
Get in early as it’s not a stadium venue and tickets are going like hotplates!

Andsome Friends will be up first. Andsome Friends is an Australian a cappella group formed in 2009 in Sydney to record and perform Miguel Heatwole's original compositions and arrangements. They supply tuneful answers to some of the important philosophical questions of our time. How many medieval TV themes from popular culture can a group sing simultaneously? What would Palestrina have written for the Hunters And Collectors? Is it wrong to sing Irish slip jigs with Australian words?
Well, OK, we’re playing just outside the Civic Theatre. AND IT’S FREE!
And actually, we’re playing the NEWCASTLE WRITERS FESTIVAL!!! Well, next to the writers festival which is on in city hall. But it’s on at the same time, so if you get sick of those authors, just step outside and get your Nerd fix.
