Double Treat: Jack n Jel n Mac n Wal AND RareTreats in one enchanted night of great musical harmony. Troubadour Folk presents two of the most inspiring bands to have emerged from the fringe folk scene in Australia, on one night.
Jack n Jel n Mac n Wal are a four part harmony band full of rich vocals, originals songs and covers that are a bit country, jazzy and prog rock. from Newcastle and the Hunter. Mark Jackson and Jane Jelbart with Mac and Wal are a rare commodity: performers who can teach, teachers who can perform; multi-instrumentalists (guitar, bass, banjo, and trumpet) but particularly ukulele. Their original song writing is tender, toe-tapping and often silly!
RareTreats, from the Central Coast is a four piece, multi-instrumental band with four part harmonies. Instruments include keyboard, guitar, mandolin, ukulele, suitcase percussion. Presenting original material from their CD, “On the Streets” and other uncovered great music as a rare treat for listeners.

RARE TREATS
RareTreats is a four piece multi vocal, multi instrumental band from the Central Coast. With Cec Bucello (founding Troubadour member and publisher of Trad and Now Magazine), Trudy van Laar (Troubadour Committee), Greg Frohlich and Terry Carlan (both retired teachers) and Dave Rowe (Blues Ranglers), they are a joyful and talented group who enjoy performing close to the audience as well as on stage. Together they combine intricate four-part singing harmonies with accompaniments on an amazing range of instruments that include keyboard, guitars, mandolin, ukulele, suitcase percussion, and a classic old banjo mandolin that never needs tuning and still plays like new!
RareTreats are experienced musicians who have won awards at the National Folk Festival and are loved just about everywhere they have played. With experience from various other bands, they bring a range of zany skills and talent together to present original songs from their recently released CD, “On the Streets”. This album is currently featured on Facebook, YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Bandcamp and other streaming and download sites. They also introduce a few other rarer, often not so well-known musical treats they have found to please listeners who like that sort of thing.
