THE FABULOUS musical talent of Meander Valley and north-west Tasmania will be on show in Deloraine’s main street during the Tasmanian Craft Fair at the Little Laneway Fringe Festival.

Blues singer Pete Cornelius will be a highlight of the long weekend program held in the laneway between Seppenfelts and the Empire Hotel, along with Ed Tuleja of Meander.

Musical director Lisa Yeates said other performers will include band Velvet Sledgehammer, Kim Clark from Jackeys Marsh, singer/guitarist Matthew Wood and many more. Drummers and circle dancers will join in the fun.

The tempo will change over the four-day weekend as musicians are joined by Launceston poets, including Yvonne Gluyas who is renowned for her poetry grand slam performances.

Organiser Linda Pittard said last year’s first Little Laneway Fringe Festival proved a great success with dozens of musicians, poets, dancers and drummers performing and good crowds gathering to spend time in the laneway’s ambience or just pop their heads in to see what was going on.

“There was a real buzz to the main street, with visitors and locals contributing to and enjoying this vibrant sense of community and we want to do it again.

“We’re fine-tuning to make Little Laneway 2016 better than ever and we know the local community will support us by joining in the fun,” Ms Pittard said.
