This Weekend in the Wick

This is a truly remarkable weekend for music in the Wick in a lot of ways. Tonight Perico drummer Col and his lovely wife are heading down to The East in time to catch KIwi gal Sohie Koh (see picture right) who's supporting D. Rogers & the Well-Wishers in their album launch. On Saturday Perico make a return to the live scene in Collingwood, but it's a private function so we can't mention it here, but you could do worse than try to catch The Backsliders at the Cornish playing their 'delta-blues wall of sound' . Sunday is packed with goodies. Former Golden Parrot winner Charles Jenkins appears at the Brunswick Green again at 3pm for free, then Richo and Col head over to the Cornish for a reunion with 70's-80's megaband Mental as Anything, who can now hang this week's Golden Parrot alongside their ARIAs.
