Line-up
Daybed Promises
We’re a trio based in Canberra!
Jedda and James had been playing music together for a little while.
Then Daybed Promises became a trio in 2021, when Emmanuelle joined the duo to play the basse because Jedda wanted to translate a song in French. What can I say, it made sense at the time!
We all have random office jobs by day, and we play music by night!
Pipes and Drums AFP
We’re the Canberra City Pipes and Drums — a band born from a simple idea shared by four Canberra locals who thought the National Capital deserved its very own pipe band. So in 1991, they made it happen!
From the start, the goal was clear: to bring the sound, spirit and tradition of Scottish pipes and drums to life here in Canberra — not through competition, but through performance, community, and shared enjoyment.
A few years later, in 1993, we were honoured to become the Honorary Pipe Band of the Australian Federal Police, a partnership that continues today. You’ll spot the AFP insignia proudly displayed on our uniforms and drums.
These days, you’ll hear us playing across Canberra — at festivals, ceremonies, weddings, parades, and everything in between. We’re not just about tradition; we’re about bringing people together through music, one tune at a time.
Tammy Pinto et Lachlan Duncan
Tammy and Lachy are friends who play music and sing together. Their acoustic duo creates a warm, charming atmosphere, reimagining familiar pop songs with a fun, French flair.
Stage 3
Ballads & Blues
Isabelle Faure is an actress and a musician. She studied piano and classical
music from 8 to 18 years old in Lyon, France. Her interest is in classical music,
film soundtracks, pop music and blues. Denis Marotte is a musician and guitar maker. He started playing guitar as a teenager and produced himself with his band for 10 years in Rhone-Alpes Region, France. He has been playing with different blues and rock bands in Australia for 15 years. Isabelle and Denis started to play together in 2020. They set up a music list that showcases Ballads & Blues. They performed outdoor in festivals and fairs, as well as indoor and more intimate settings like cocktail parties.
Stella eve
Stella’s music is infectious, nostalgic and intuitive. Familiar but unexpected. The lyrics are often simple in their nature and genius in that simplicity, communicating tone beyond the words alone. Whether she’s delivering a reflective ballad or an upbeat tune, Stella Eve’s songs always offer something meaningful, leaving a lasting impression on all who hear it.
Her Debut Album “Here For You” should leave you feeling like you’ve been ridden, put away wet, dried off, brushed down then wrapped in a warm blanket and tucked into bed. It’s the bedtime story we all need; to be told by someone that they’re there for us, always.
