Kiama’s Joe Mungovan has released a live recording of his debut album, a year after it was released.

The music of A Flower In The Weeds was recorded at Dovecote, the striking mansion on the headland north of Gerringong.

“Given the current climate of the world and the lack of confidence I had in booking a national tour, I had been brainstorming ways to bring my album to people in the comfort of their own living room and reaching some entirely new audiences too,” says Joe.

“The concept of Live At Dovecote was born. The band and I were hot off the back of a regional tour and the live set is super tight, so this was the perfect time to record and film six songs off my debut record, played with an eight piece band."

He hopes the recording will make more people aware of the South Coast and its talented arts community. Gerringong is certainly makes an impression in the background.

“My collaborators are all local to this area, further supporting our region as being a formidable force for talent. It was a project where the skills of artists from all different mediums (visual, styling, architecture, journalism) came together and created a body of work that celebrates and contributes to our community,” says Joe.

“Recording with my friends around me was such a magical experience for me as I usually record everything in my studio by myself.”
