Adelaide Fringe Festival Focus: The Port Rocks

"Ten bands over ten hours finishing on The Port Rocks Dolphin Sanctuary Cruise."

Answered by: Debra Thorsen

Describe your show in a tweet? Ten bands over ten hours finishing on The Port Rocks Dolphin Sanctuary Cruise with The Timbers, Kaurna Cronin and Banjo Jackson on Sun 28 Feb.

What was the inspiration behind your show? The Port Heritage Pubs, retro fashion and rockabilly music inspired The Port Rocks. The event starts at 10am with a classic car show 'n' shine, pin-ups parade, rockabilly, roots, rock and folk bands. Ends on the Dolphin Sanctuary Cruise.

Tell us a bit about the creative team working on this project? Bought to you by the Semaphore Music Festival creative team at Cinnabar Productions, in collaboration with Cassablanca Fashions, Powerful Promotions, the artists, and local Port Adelaide Heritage Pubs. The Port Rocks proudly supports SA live music and rockabilly culture.

What do you love about Fringe and why? The Fringe encourages cultural diversity, embracing difference in the performing arts and music. I love that regions out of the Adelaide CBD are involved hosting shows in alternate environments giving the audience an authentic experience out of their comfort zone.

When and where is your Fringe show? Kicks off 10am Sunday 28 Feb, The British Hotel Port Adelaide, finishing off on the Dolphin Sanctuary Cruise.
