This is the start of the Ashes to Music program funded by News Corp via the ever visionary FRRR Foundation for Regional and Rural Renewal. Padma is the lead with the support of CHIRF. 

This is just a start whilst we swing into stride with a expanding program working towards revitalising the iconic Strum the very popular Lucy and Tony’s style open mike and other elements to draw our lovely community together and cover all ages and skill levels and instruments. 

Please be patient as we develop it and you will see Padma is using all his connections to make sure we are safe.

CV19: We are learning best practice, and this group will be a Litmus test for further play in Mallacoota. We will be gathering under the guidance of the Mallacoota Medical Centre. 

We will be using strict social distancing, using the 4 meter square model.

We will have isopropyl hand sanitiser for general use. 

People are more than welcome to use Facemasks. 

We will practice multidirectional positioning, due to the singing. 

Our aims are to learn how to make music in public within the CV19 era, with ease, and assurance that we are doing it correctly, and safely.

We are taking our direction from Mallacoota Medical Center, Federal Health advice, the ANU School of Music , Emily Cox, Director of Canticum, and UC Berkeley – Prof. Ken Ueno. Some of this advice is yet to come, in particular, singing in groups.Beach Uke Strum
