Moving on to the last segment of Spring, we look forward to a visit from TraXion Big Band who will play fantastic music that will be well-suited for Remembrance Day commemorations. Tinker's Cuss has been livening things up, and Lisa Maps has been busy playing at more gigs.

Karen Kowald's Moondrop Pearls is a true staple to the Old Bus Depot Markets known for her stunning designs of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. With Jewel of Canberra right around the corner, we spoke to one of our longest standing stallholders about her knowledge of pearls and her experiences at the markets.

There will be two exciting yet very different performances on Makers-Con thanks to Guyy and the Fox and AFK Choir. The latter of whom have been known to sing about topics like Star Trek and zombies. We also have two musicians on tour, Nathan Power and Zac Saber, both on the 23rd.

Making sure we get off on the right foot, we have our friends from Jumptown Swing who are celebrating Canberra’s festival of swing, Canberräng. The talented Monique Lewis will also be playing this month. In her young career, she's already performed in such venues as the Hyperdome and the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel in Thailand.

We’re excited to bring in a number of touring talents like Yhan Leal who’s promoting his third album, and Kevin Laso who’s releasing his first.

Thomas Westra knows metal. He’s been working with it since 1996, designing, creating and selling contemporary metal furniture and sculpture. The main focus of his work has been forged steel lizards. Lizards in many different sizes and shapes, varying poses and with a variety of expressions.
