The Lookout House Concerts

Address provided on booking

The Lookout House Concerts are a series of delightfully intimate musical evenings hosted by Craig and Lara (The Peppercorns) up in the beautiful Blue Mountains town of Blackheath. I’ve got a lifetime association with the Mountains, from taking my first steps in Wentworth Falls, to designing its brand, way finding and numerous other graphically oriented projects. This is the first time I’ll be there as the musician.. I hope you can join us on Saturday November 30th. more information and tickets below.

Humph Hall

85 Allambie Road Allambie Heights NSW 2100

Very pleased to be making my way up to Allambie Heights on October 9th to spend a few hours at Humph Hall. I’m told it was once the Allambie Heights Uniting Church but it’s been re-imagined as a performance space/private home.. interesting! Hope you can join me there – expect raucous audience involvement, striking finger-style 6 string, feisty 12 string, tender banjo and arresting a capella as I explore social, political and environmental issues alongside the bitter-sweet matters of the human heart.

Corbett Gardens

Bendooley Street Bowral NSW

That time of year again and once again I’m joining 80,000 tulips and a few thousand people in Corbett Gardens for a couple of hours of tunes and chat. Come and join me from 2pm.

Yass

Yass NSW

Excited to be joining the great lineup of artists at this year’s Irish & Celtic.. three days of music and fun in the beautiful Yass district.

Berrima Village Hall

9 Argyle Street, Berrima

It’s been 25 years since the release of my fourth album – the time has come to record my fifth. As I’ve always believed that a community of voices raised in harmony is an affirmation of the power of hope in troubled times, a number of new songs have been specifically written to feature the harmonised voices of a live audience. We are inviting about 50 willing and capable singers to join us at the Berrima Village Hall to actively participate in a free, live performance where three new songs will be rehearsed, then videoed. Our special guest instrumentalists are Fiona McVicar (fiddle) and Ken O’Niell (Irish bouzouki) from the wonderful Celtic band Kejafi, and the concert will be filmed by our friends and award-winning cinematographers Rhapsody Pictures – Brian Rapsey and @Nigel Christensen. Please join us. Bookings are essential as space is strictly limited.

New Lambton Community Centre

14 Alma Road, New Lambton NSW

It’s been many a year since I performed up in Newcastle.. probably half a century actually. I was born in the Hunter and have always felt a connection to the place so great to firm it all up with a show at the Newcastle & Hunter Valley Folk Club – June 1st at 6.30. I’m bringing lots of new music.. plenty of laughs and things to think about. I’m sharing the night with The Bicycle Busker aka Matthew Clarke.. (half of Two Voices in the Crowd). He’ll be leaving his bike at the door and bringing a wealth of original and borrowed music.

Royal Mail Hotel

145/147 Wallace St, Braidwood NSW 2622

A great little show in a great little town.. with the wonderful Nerida Cuddy. We’ll be sharing the afternoon with old and new songs, plenty of laughter and stuff to think about. Please join us at about 3pm.. kitchen opens at 6pm so you could make it dinner and a show!

St Albans Township

This is a wonderful little festival held on the side of the MacDonald River in St Albans. I’m excited to be performing there and can only encourage lovers of exciting hand-made music, exquisite landscapes and community to consider coming along.

CTC Robertson

I seem to be making a delightful habit of this.. third show at the CTC in three years. Join me for a relaxed afternoon of music, coffee, cake (or wine and cheese if you prefer) from 2 to 4 pm. More information on the CTC Website

Beatrice Taylor Hall

25 Edgeworth David Avenue, Hornsby

Must have been about 20 years since I played at HKFC.. I went with my brother Doug who was back Australia from Nashville where he was based. Time has disappeared.. Doug too (he died in 2005) but HKFC lives on. Looking forward to getting back up into the north of Sydney. For more information visit the website or contact hornsbyfolk@gmail.com

Corbett Gardens, Bowral

Angels in Our Town is a cultural community event acknowledging and celebrating our first responders, volunteers and service organisations — the Angels in our Town. The event is held in the towns and villages of the Southern Highlands, and culminates in a ‘thank you’ street parade through Bowral, followed by a family concert in Corbett Gardens on 2 December.​ I’m so pleased to be part of this important regional event.. going to be a great night of music by some of the Highlands best. Join us.. concert starts at 8pm but be there early to get a seat. 

Bundanoon Hotel

6-18 Erith Street Bundanoon, NSW

I have to say that I’m excited to be back in the Festivals.. Maldon, and now Bundanoon with more to come. I’ve missed the connection with like-minded musicians and the welcoming, listening communities that gather to share the pleasure of hand-made music. I’ve got two shows during this festival.. 10am to 11am on Saturday the 25th at the Bundanoon Club [the venue is called ‘The Magpie’], and 11am to noon on Sunday at ‘The Bowerbird’.. otherwise known as the Bundanoon Hotel. The festival runs from Friday the 24th to Sunday the 26th. Come and join me.

Maldon Neighbourhood Centre

1 Church Street, Maldon Vic

I’m excited to have been named as a finalist in the Roddy Read Songwriting Competition at the Maldon Folk Festival. I’m heading down to Victoria to sing Waited Too Long and how it fits into the folk sensibility in the 21st century. You can see the video HERE

Corbett Gardens, Bowral

I’m closing the afternoon’s entertainment with a couple of hours of tunes at a festival that’s been hugely popular for over half a century. Join me for some pretty tunes to match the decor at about 2.30

Bundanoon Club

70B Erith Street, Bundanoon, NSW, 2578

Putting my shoulder behind the Bundanoon Folk Festival by helping to raffle a meat tray. No seriously! Come and join me from 7pm for a couple of hours of tunes to gamble on meat with.

Bowral Bowling Club

40 Shepherd Street BOWRAL

MusicNSW, Southern Tablelands Arts and Southern Highland News are working with Highland FM to give a voice to local musicians and songwriters. 100% Homegrown is a monthly program celebrating individual artists from the regions and in November, Peter Campbell is the Artist of the Month.

Ward Lane, Mittagong

Ward Lane, Mittagong

Second time around the Laneway Festival Mittagong is going to be bigger and better than ever.. and it doesn’t look like it’ll RAIN. It kicks off at noon and I’ll be on stage with Brian Rapsey from around 1pm. Lots of music, food and fun.. get down there.

Gasoline Pony

115 Marrickville Rd Marrickville

Three generations of Campbells are heading for the Gasoline Pony on June 22 at 7pm. With deep musical roots in the socially conscious 60s and 70s, Peter C brings his infectious indie folk together with Bow C’s metal inclinations and Jude C’s hip hop chops for a one-off event that’s going to leave us all wondering what just happened. P, B & J will be joined by Brian Rapsey on harmonica and Ben Nightingale on guitar – they’ll be the ones with hair. This is going to be a night you shouldn’t miss!
