A stunning winter day set the scene at Bondi Beach on Sunday for the annual Bondi Bohemia Fair.
There was fun for all with music stages, craft shows, magic acts, kids tents and stalls for young and old!
Mayor, Sally Betts, opened the event, welcoming locals and visitors to Bondi Beach and inviting them to enjoy the day’s festivities, followed by a YIDAKI performance by Adam Hill.....
Next up was a gorgeous violin ensemble of kids from Bondi Beach Public School and Rose Bay Public School.
They play a variety of classical, folk and movie music under the guidance of Lilia Brodskaya, trained at the Russian Conservatorium of Music.
These youngsters, aged from 5 up, regularly play for Waverly Council, Ciizenship Ceremonies, The Festival of Strings and have even perfomed at the Opera House.
BOOM BOOM the Clown
Cherie Kotek MC'd the day, full of energy, warmth and inspiration.
Cherie had performed at the Saturday component of the festival with her band Three Quarters Hazel.
She's spending this winter playing throughout the ski season at Thredbo and is soon to release her new cd!
Solo artist Joel Sarakula took the stage with his pop / indie repitoire of original music.
Sarakula writes catchy songs that you just cant get out of your head – just take a look at this youtube video of Sarakula playing on the Mobile Stage Truck today to get a feel for his talent.
To see more, visit www.myspace.com.au/sarakula or look at his own fantastic youtube channel - the video clips are awesome and he's a REALLY nice guy! Thanks Joel - we cant wait to see you again..
The Rubber Band - well, what a great party band!
Michelle Loomes and The Rubber Band performed crowd lovin' covers with such strength and poise that people came from all around to grab a spot on the grass to look and listen.
It's not the first time that The Rubber Band has played on Mobile Stage Truck - and definately not the last!
Idol's Luke Dickens headlined the day, just back from an entertainment tour in the Middle East. Luke held a minute of silence in a touching tribute to the soldiers lost while he was away.
Among others, his just-released song, Believer, from the Underdog Album, was agreat way to end an amazing weekend of music at Bondi!
