MICK THOMAS’ ROVING COMMISSION
Mick Thomas has been a staple of Melbourne’s music scene for well over 30 years.
Raconteur, troubadour, balladeer and poet, he is best known as the song master of icons Weddings Parties Anything. His band The Roving Commission featuring Squeezebox Wally on Piano Accordion, Ben Franz (The Waifs) on bass, Dave Folley (Tex Perkins) on drums and bright new talent Brooke Taylor on guitar and vocals. With Mick’s unique mix of folk, roots and country and occasional cameo by ex WPA violinist, Jen Anderson – this is a show not to be missed!
Mick brought in 2023 with yet another album, “Where only Memory Can Find You” which hit the ARIA Top 20 and then took off to the UK to play Glastonbury sharing the stage with Billy Bragg.
Fresh from another iconic run of Christmas show at the end, he returns to Port Fairy to showcase songs from the latest album but also expect hits from the Roving Commission’s back catalogue as well as a sprinkling of Weddoes classics.
