Jimmy’s love of music began at the tender age of 10 when he got the starring role in his primary school musical. Fast forward a few years and Jimmy found himself as the front man of local pop / rock outfit Jimmy & The Mirrors. Jimmy & The Mirrors have toured around the country, supported some of Australia’s “trendiest” bands and played the Parklife Music Festival. 

Jimmy has released his first single Chains of Gold, but plays a range of folkish, country inspired rock and roll ballards which speak of love, loss and the enigma that is Barack Obama.

Jimmy will be playing at the North East dining area.

Adelaide’s Peter Hacquoil is one of only a handful of piano buskers in the world.His instrument of choice is a Kawai upright piano on wheels he pushes around the city streets, navigating footpaths and curbs with relative ease.  Living in Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, Peter Hacquoil makes the trek to the mall everyday to entertain passers-by and hone his craft.  He started studying classical piano in primary school but gave up music altogether for five years before playing in church rwhich rekindled his love for the instrument.
 While some people busk to earn a living, for Peter the income is secondary to the joy he receives from making people happy through his work.  A busking veteran, Peter has been playing his trusty mobile piano all around the country for over 10 years.

 
We feel priviledged to have Peter play his lovely music at the Market! You’ll find Peter at the Einstein Wall on 17 May and at the North East dining corner on 7 June.
