Kev Carmody at the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent, Sydney Festival, 17 January 2016
Kev Carmody can do a lot with an acoustic guitar, and, it transpires, just as much without one. Before he appears in person on this warm Sydney afternoon, his audience gets a preview screening of Songman, directed by Brendan Fletcher, which will screen on the ABC later this year. The short film documents the making of Carmody’s most recent album, Recollections … Reflections … (A Journey).
