Descending from the mountains are harp and fiddle extravaganza Mickey & Michelle, whose energetic and virtuosic performances have captured hearts throughout Australia and New Zealand. Often described as the highlight of the festival, Mickey & Michelle weave a gorgeous “chamber-folk” tapestry of original Celtic music infused with vocal harmony and fiery improvisations.

The duo’s inception began with a wild idea to tour the length of New Zealand on foot for 6 months. This adventurous spirit continues to fuel their creativity, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the natural world. Through their carefully crafted lyrics and instrumentals, listeners are invited to reflect on their own relationship with nature.

Beyond their performances, Mickey & Michelle are enthusiastic teachers, spreading their tunes through workshops, music camps and inviting participants onstage. So come see the duo for yourself and don’t be surprised if you’re greeted by an orchestra of young and old, playing new Australian music.
