The Gunnedah Conservatorium is starting the school holidays with a performance by Amy Vee and Anna Weatherup at Piallaway Hall on Sunday.
“We hope people will pop in the car and join us for a great day out…our village halls are special little hubs and Piallaway is one of the best,” Gunnedah Consevatorium director Rebecca Ryan said.
“We are excited to be partnering with the hall progress association on this event. The hall grounds will be open from 12noon so people can bring their own picnic lunch and drinks, chairs and rug and enjoy the beautiful grounds of Piallaway Hall before the music starts at 2pm.
“This is really a special part of the world and the weather forecast looks perfect for Sunday. With the hall just 40mins from Gunnedah it’s a great chance for people to get out an explore the area around town and the region a little more.”
After a successful double headline East Coast tour in 2023, enduring Hunter singer-songwriters Amy Vee and Anna Weatherup have joined forces to present a second, expanded series of intimate performances on a multi-state tour in 2025.
The Vee name is well-known across the North West, and Amy originally hails from Tamworth, the daughter of stalwart Mike Vee. Amy Vee is an established and award-winning songwriter and performer in her own right with extensive touring experience in Australia and internationally. Amy has moonlighted as band member for other artists including Australian music royalty Jon English and Tim Freedman, all while building a solo career, opening for touring acts such as Luka Bloom, Passenger, Newton Faulkner, and Mark Seymour. Her award-winning self-penned body of work includes two solo studio albums, an EP, and several singles. Her latest offering will be a new album recorded live with a six-piece band and expected for release this month.
Anna Weatherup is perhaps best known for turning all four chairs on The Voice in its second season, with her audition garnering more than 1.2 million views on YouTube. However, since that time, Anna has worked tirelessly to shape a truly unique and engaging creative identity, gathering a loyal community of followers via her many live shows and, during lockdowns, via live-streaming on Twitch. Anna’s long-awaited album Crossing the Sea was released in 2023, with singles making waves on the iTunes charts and garnering more than 100k streams on Spotify. Anna followed up with a stripped-back live version of the album, made for vinyl, in late 2023.
For the Piallaway show, local ‘songbird’ Goldheist will join Anna and Amy onstage, showcasing three artists with three sets of outstanding songs and stories. Audiences can expect to be enchanted by these accomplished and captivating women.
