As part of a small and special run of Australian shows, Mick Harvey and Amanda Acevedo present an intimate evening in Port Fairy following on from the release of their album Golden Mirrors and ahead of the September release of their new album Psychedelia in White. They’ll also share selections from their album of duets, Phantasmagoria in Blue (2023), and Harvey’s solo album, Five Ways to Say Goodbye (2024). The pair will be joined by the estimable Glenn Lewis on bass and guitar, and Hugo Cran on drums and keyboards.
About Mick Harvey: Renowned as a musician, record producer and composer for over 45 years, Harvey is perhaps best known as a member of The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds, and for his long-term collaborative work with PJ Harvey and Nick Cave. As well as scoring ten feature films and numerous short films and documentaries across Australia and Europe, Harvey has also released ten solo albums in the last two decades and recieved multiple Australian Music Industry Awards. He won the Australian Film Industry Best Original Score for Suburban Mayhem in 2006, and in 2011 took out British Producer of the Year for his (co)production on PJ Harvey's Let England Shake. In April 2026, Harvey was honoured by the French Government for his four albums of interpretations and translations of the songs of Serge Gainsbourg with the Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres', the French equivalent of a Knighthood for the Arts.
About Amanda Acevedo: Mexican artist Amanda Acevedo comes to Port Fairy as part of a deep and ongoing collaboration with Mick Harvey, one of her creative heroes. After spending 2020/21 studying film in her hometown of San Luis Potisí, Acevedo teamed up with Harvey to create the thematically rich collection of duets Phantasmagoria in Blue, continuing this work into 2025 with the release of Golden Mirrors. She is currently studying and working in Melbourne, Australia
Join Mick, Amanda and the Blarney team for a stunning night of music amongst the shelves and colour of one of Port Fairy’s most-loved creative spaces.
