Music in the Vines finishes on high note

MACARTHUR will no longer play host to the annual summer music event, Music in the Vines, that had attracted headline acts such as Russell Morris and Troy Casser-Daley, since it began in 2016. The decision was made due to the difficulty of recruiting volunteers and soaring costs associated with running the not-for-profit fundraiser for local community groups and organisations.

THE committee for Macarthur’s annual music event, ‘Music in the Vines’ hosted at the local vineyard, Suffoir Winery, Brewery, and Distillery, has called time after eight years and five festivals.

The vineyard’s owners, Pieter and Michelle Badenhorst, and a host of local volunteers worked tirelessly to bring in headline acts like Troy Cassar-Daley and Russell Morris, which attracted hundreds of people to the summer festival every year since it began in 2016.
