The Cashews: Alison Procter and Peter Lyon
The Cashews are contemporary acoustic nuts.
They describe their music as original, indie-folk.
Quirky, catchy, melodious, grounded original songs with a lingering social conscience.
As Canberra’s most unambitious band, the Cashews play gigs mostly around Canberra. In addition to pub gigs, cafe gigs, baptisms, book launches, bar mitzvahs and other special events, the Cashews like organising“Guerrilla Gigs” in scenic public areas, for which the location is not made public until an hour before. To add to the excitement they usually have another band playing and, when the weather’s good, these quiet, intimate, acoustic gigs can be lovely, if you’re in to that sort of thing!
The Cashews CD Small Ponds is available on itunes.
Thunderstone
Aboriginal Cultural and Land Management Services
Thunderstone (Murungul Gurubung) has been established to accurately reflect the past, present (and future) culture of the Ngunawal people. As with many other Aboriginal cultures, the Ngunawal people have passed down traditional knowledge from generation to generation through word of mouth and Dreamtime stories. Through this website, the Ngunawal people hope to educate the wider community about the rich history and cultural practices of the Ngunawal people, as well as impart the importance of preserving and protecting this culture from being lost or destroyed. We all can play a part in ensuring that Ngunawal culture exists for future generations.
The Ngunawal people are the Indigenous Australian inhabitants whose traditional lands encompass much of the area now occupied by the city of Canberra and the surrounding Australian Capital Territory.
When first encountered by European settlers in the 1820s, the Ngunawal people lived in an area roughly bounded by what is now the towns of Braidwood, Goulburn, Boorowa, Harden, Gundagai and Cooma. The Ngunawal people are neighbours of the Yuin (on the coast), Ngarigo (south east of Canberra), Wiradjuri (to the west of Yass) and Gundungurra (to the north) peoples.
Murungul meaning “thunder” and Gurubung meaning “stone” in Ngunawal language.
Tyronne Bell
Tyronne is the youngest of seven children and grew up in Yass, learning traditional culture from his father Don Bell (senior). Challenging early experiences helped shape his lifelong passion for the advancement of Aboriginal issues. Tyronne has become a strong advocate for the recognition of Aboriginal culture and language, in particular, the culture and language of the Ngunawal people.
Tyronne also has connections with the non-Indigenous community and has been deeply involved in many community-based activities and projects over the years. His knowledge of the local region is considerable. Tyronne has lived on Country all his life.
