The City of Armadale CBD is celebrating the return of the Twilight Markets in 2016 with a big night of entertainment to accompany the ever popular market event.

On Friday, 5 February, market-goers will be treated to live music from local acoustic act The Concession, a routine from the maestro of musical comedy Flabalotti (local operatic singer Paul Leeder) and authentic 1940s old-style bluegrass from headline act Bluegrass Parkway.

Bluegrass Parkway features Roleystone local Wayne Perry and the band holds the reputation as Australia’s premier bluegrass band.

What has helped set the band apart from many others is the priority they have placed upon presenting bluegrass music in its most authentic form. Since the early part of 1994, they have performed around a single microphone, as was the norm for the pioneers of the genre in the 1940s.

At any Bluegrass Parkway performance the audience can enjoy a taste of bluegrass music 1940s style, strong three and four part harmonies as well as witnessing some pretty fancy footwork.

The entertainment will complement the family-friendly Twilight Market’s usual line-up of stalls and artisans selling handmade goods and gifts.

The Twilight Markets will be open in Jull Street Mall, Armadale, from 5 to 8.30pm.
