Peninsula trio is venue regular

The Peninsula's folk country trio, The Usual Suspects, is among the artists now appearing regularly at Randalls on the Beach in Killcare.

The restaurant which overlooks Killcare Beach has recently launched itself as a regular music venue while continuing to provide affordable meals, according to owner Ms Chris Randall.

The Usual Suspects are featured on Thursday nights.

"On Friday and Saturday nights every week, the sublime jazz and grown-up pop of Mark Beltran's trio Girl in the Clouds provide a selection of classics and recent hits, ranging from the smooth and easy listening songs to the more up tempo rhythm pieces that help to make an evening dance under the stars possible," said Ms Randall.

"Amelia is the featured female vocalist whose velvet tones help to set the mood over a candlelit dinner.

"Sunday afternoon has multi-instrumental trio Blues Angels, led by harmonicas ace Tom Flood.

"The three carry you through a countdown of acoustic blues styles from the 1920s to contemporary originals, with Kate Landsberry's earthy vocals.

"Alternate Sundays the magical folk soul harmonies of duo That's That.

"Sunday arvos are special, so both bands often have muso mates drop in to chill and jam.

"How often do you find a place to go enjoy with your friends that's open every day, has delicious and inventive top notch food for every pocket, a sublime view, thoughtful wine list, relaxed beachside ambience and colourful live acoustic music three nights a week, and every Sunday afternoon?" Ms Randall asked.
