Honeybee Music Creation Wednesday 2024 Album “Day And Night” Is Now Available For Streaming and Purchase On Bandcamp.
This record was created out of Honeybee Creative’s music creation / song writing workshops in 2024. Settled into our Kandanga studio, we were able to focus on our creative impulses with little distraction, enabling us to complete more songs than in any previous year. Add to that five video projects and it has been our biggest year to date. This is a musically diverse album reflecting the crew’s open-minded willingness to explore and experiment and thanks (again) to the sublime, absurdly wonderful poetry of Rachael Sait and the dedication of Andrew Browne, Sarah Allen, Michael Cullenand introducing Caleb Wynter on guitar; we have another adventurous, silly, beautiful record from the HBC crew.
Video Projects 2024
“Koala Disco Banger”, “Cows In First Class”, “On the Blue Bus”, “Day And Night” and “the Clouds In The Sky” have been developed as projects with the Honeybee Creative “Music Creation Wednesday” & “Theatrical Thursday” sessions 2024.

APRA Art Music Awards Winner 2022
For excellence in music education
APRA Judges Report
“A thoroughly deserved winner who has championed the creative development of people with disabilities in the Gympie, QLD region and beyond. Moving to working online during (Covid) lockdowns, Honeybee Creative hosted their song writing and music creation sessions successfully through online mediums. The facilitation work by the faculty to take the creative thoughts, desires and actions of neurologically diverse people and lay it out in a form that everyone can understand is commendable. It is great to have this type of program operating within a regional area and the project outcomes demonstrate why art and music is so valuable for the community”.
