Friday 12 December 2025 at the Royal Dungog, FREE, Scott & Jenny Thomson (‘The Thomsons’) have entertained festival audiences across the Eastern seaboard for over a decade, quietly going about their business, delivering heartfelt ‘songs with a story’, with harmonies and delicate arrangements. Be prepared to dust off your passport and meet a cast of characters from obscure corners of the globe that will inspire, provoke and delight. ‘The Thomsons’ draw their music from a deep well of personal experience and extensive international travel. Scott received the 2024 Adam Lindsay Gordon songwriting award at the recent Penola Acoustic Music Festival in South Australia. FREE but there might be a hat!

Jim Jarvis is a renowned singer songwriter and guitarist whose legendary LP “Outskirts of Town’ will, this week, set you back $130 from eBay! Now a Dungog local, from the UK via Sydney and Blue Mountains, we can all enjoy his beautiful songs.
Russ Redford is an equally renowned blues singer and blues harp player collaborating and performing with what seems to be an endless list of musical identities in the Hunter Region and beyond. Including Jim.
Together they have dubbed themselves ‘The Fill Ins’ for reasons that even they might have forgotten.
