Now it’s getting warmer, Sundays in the Sun is starting up again! For those of you who are new to our blog, Sundays in the Sun is a monthly relaxed afternoon of live music, family friendly activities and entertainment in the gardens. Bring a picnic and enjoy the fun, festivities and awesome live music in Heritage Hill’s beautifully manicured grounds from 12 to 3. It’s a free event!
Our musicians this month are:
Hello Satellites – Hello Satellites is the new project from Melbourne songwriter Eva Popov. It moves in the pop world whilst maintaining a depth that belies the escapism of modern pop music.
Jessica Paige – Singer, songwriter, guitarist and multi award winner Jessica Paige started her music career at the age of 15. Influenced by the Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Rufus Wainwright, Ray LaMontagne and Van Dyke Parks, ‘The Music Network’ quoted her writing as “gorgeous melodies and delicious lyrics to match” while Adam Hills calles her “my favourite singer song-writer”
Gwendolyne O’Dea – with performances at the Apollo Bay Music Festival and appearances as a guest on both ABC 774 and Triple R Gwendolyn’s fast paced folk and country vocals give her the edge.
So come along and enjoy the day. We’ll see you this Sunday at Heritage Hill.

First up we had the ever lovely Paper Dreams, a local duo who sang some beautiful originals and a couple of awesome covers. (more…)

We are looking forward to Sunday. Why, you ask? Is it about chocolate? Or Easter? No, but it could be…
This Sunday is Sunday in the Sun!
This month, local ladies Paper Dreams return to entertain us with their beautiful tunes and then Jesse Mitchell will take the stage to present his folky, funky music.
So bring a picnic, bring the family and come down to Heritage Hill to while away the afternoon in our beautiful gardens.
We’ll also be playing Blind Cricket from 1 on the front lawn of Laurel Lodge.
This is the last Sunday in the Sun until October, so do come along, relax and have a beautiful Sunday here at Heritage Hill.
