Featuring The Six Seasons Rap, Celeriac, The Seed Song, and other favourites, this is wonderfully inspiring music for the whole family that turns the dutiful acts of living sustainably into ones that are entertaining, enriching and fun. Celebrating the launch of the ʻWellʼ EP, Ilan will be performing his sing-a-long tunes at: the Abbotsford Convent Spring Open day on Sunday 8th November at 10am on the ʻbakery stage), and at 12:20pm(just past midday) on the Steiner School Stage. Entry to the Open Day is free and the Convent will be alive with free music, performances and an array of delicious food.
