RUTH MOODY

THURSDAY 15 OCTOBER

Back by popular demand, Ruth Moody returns to Australia with The Wanderer Returns Tour. An award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Moody is known for her luminous soprano and evocative songwriting that have captivated audiences around the world. As both a solo artist and founding member of The Wailin’ Jennys, she has earned two JUNO Awards and performed to rapt audiences in sold-out venues across the globe. Her latest album, Wanderer, is a moving chronicle of her life’s journey over the past decade.

Ruth lives on the wild west coast of Canada and when she is not on the road with her band or The Wailin’ Jennys, she spends her time writing, hiking, and keeping up with her nine-year-old son.

WHAT'S ON THIS WEEK

Dine in or takeaway pizza Tuesday – Sunday

Semi-sourdough pizza made with organic ingredients and a very little amount of yeast. The magic is in the fermentation process, which takes up to 72 hours. Each pizza is then balled up and hand-stretched to order. We cook our pizza in a 500c oven with a stone floor. The effect is a thin, crisp base with a puffy, leopard-spotted crust. No bookings required.
