DJ Nigey Nige joins Sandy and Michael this week to tackle the oblique strategy of 'Don't be frightened of cliches'.  Sandy plays songs aligned to the cliche of 'being scared out of your wits'.  Michael plays a song for several common cliches.  And Nigel seems to have missed the memo and plays songs associated with the oblique strategy for the last show 'Distorting Time'.  We have a lot of fun and play a wonderful selection of music for your listening pleasure.

THE ACOUSTIC CAFÉ is a fortnightly program featuring a mix of singer – songwriter, Celtic, Cajun, global roots, traditional and contemporary folk, blues, country blues, bluegrass, country, old timey and Americana music from Australia and around the world. Live to air, 8pm, every second Tuesday.

The recorded live part of the program features multicultural folk band Mozaik, 

consisting of Irish musicians Andy Irvine & Donal Lunny, American fiddler Bruce Molsky, Bulgaro-Hungarian multi-instrumentalist Nikola Parov and Dutch multi-instrumentalist Rens van der Zalm.

Their repertoire includes selections of their own compositions, Irish traditional songs, Southeastern European/Balkan folk music, and American Old-timey songs and Appalachian fiddling. 

On 1 March 2002, Mozaik congregated in the Victorian seaside town of Rye for six days of intensive rehearsals. The Australian tour that followed culminated in two gigs recorded at the Brisbane Powerhouse on 30/31 March.

This week, join Tony and Shippa as they investigate the medical condition known as amblyopia, or in this particular episode, multiple cases of the lack of communication between the eye and the brain. Goodness me, what on Earth are they getting themselves into? Well, Harvey and Itay from the Sydney band The Lazy Eyes are here to help them sort it out, as well as getting them to play some rather Cheesy Love Songs from their album of the same name.

In the second half of the show, you’ll hear tracks from Hauler (Sydney), Georgie Winchester (Maitland), The Bad Dad Orchestra (NE Tasmania), HARLEY (Brisbane), Cygnette (Brisbane), Porcus Vs Equus (Melbourne), Tamara & The Dreams (Melbourne), Mascolo (France/USA), Kaiyah Mercedes (Melbourne), Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats (Cambridge, UK), and The Mushniks (Adelaide), with Shippa’s Surprise Worm Girlz spilling the dirt and eating up your scraps…musically that is!
