Night Songs

‘Here Comes the Night’ sings out over the road out front of the Addi Road Food Pantry in Marrickville. A low-flying plane is coming in to land, adding to the Inner West soundtrack.

Community can be a strange and unexpected thing. You can’t always advertise and promote or express it easily. Then something special happens – like last night – and everything about what do and who we are comes together without us even trying. We hope you feel some of that spirit in our newly-formed and somewhat loosely gathered ‘Addi Road Band’ doing their fine version of Waltzing Matilda.
