Mickey and Michelle East Coast Spring Tour 2026

MICKEY & MICHELLE in Concert Presented by the Illawarra Folk Club Prepare to be captivated by Australia’s most riveting harp and fiddle duo, blending breathtaking musicianship with original music full of wonder. Descending from the mountains are harp and fiddle duo Mickey & Michelle, whose energetic and virtuosic performances have captured hearts throughout Australia and New Zealand. Celebrated for their intricate arrangements and heartfelt songwriting, Mickey & Michelle weave a gorgeous ‘chamber-folk’ tapestry of original Celtic music infused with vocal harmony and fiery improvisations. The duo’s journey began with a wild idea: to walk the length of New Zealand on the 3000km Te Araroa Trail for six months, performing concerts along the way. This adventure forged a deep connection between their music, the natural world and the communities they encountered, inspiring carefully crafted lyrics and instrumentals that invite listeners to reflect on their own connection with the natural world. Following the release of their album Solace in Wonder, Mickey & Michelle continued this journey with a five-month Northern Hemisphere tour through Canada, Spain, England, Scotland, Wales and Iceland. Along the way, they hiked the 800km High Route of the Pyrenees, formed lasting friendships with musicians and fellow adventurers around the world, and found inspiration in the North’s brutal and beautiful landscapes. Now returning to the East Coast with new music shaped by these journeys, expect an evening of soaring melodies, virtuosic instrumentals and heartfelt songs as Mickey & Michelle push the boundaries of what harp and fiddle can do.
