UTC+11:00Location
Albury Botanical Gardens | Albury, NS
Australian/Fijian singer-songwriter Andrea Kirwin and her wife Claire Evelynn have been travelling and performing at Festivals together since they met in 2008 as part of Andrea’s band. However, their duo show with Claire performing on Celtic Harp began with a Woodford Folk Festival Small Halls tour in 2021.The combination of Celtic Harp along with Andrea’s soulful heartfelt original songs which she performs on vocals, guitar, harmonica, cigar box guitar and stomp has been described by many as a spell binding combination.
Since their inaugural tour across 20 small halls in QLD in 2021, the musical couple have performed up and down the East coast in 2022 and also at Bay of Islands Jazz and Blues Festival in New Zealand and Maleny Music Festival in 2023.
Andrea’s originals are beautifully crafted songs about her real life experiences including stories from her multicultural upbringing in Townsville as well as love songs written for Claire. It is not often that the artist and muse perform together on stage and the result is simply divine.
Claire’s delicate harp playing dances around Andrea’s rhythm guitar and together they create a harmony and ambience that transports listeners to a place where music is truly a balm for the soul.
Music in the Gardens is a series of free outdoor concerts set in the picturesque Albury Botanic Gardens, taking place on the third Sunday of March, April, May, September—and for this final event—Sunday, 16 November 2025, from 1 pm to 3 pm.
The Gardens are transformed into an open-air amphitheatre, inviting the community to unwind on the beautifully landscaped lawns while soaking in Andrea’s captivating performance of soulful, island-tinged folk.
Music in the Gardens will be located in the rose garden area, due to the ongoing redevelopment of the Elms. Food and drink will be available to purchase on the day—so bring along your chairs or a picnic rug and join us for a magical, tuneful afternoon in the sun.
