Tomorrow (Saturday, January 28), Joadja Winery will hold an afternoon of Irish Australian Folk and Rock.

Healy has been involved in the art world for some 30 years as a painter and sculptor.

Evelyn Finnerty, from Country Cork, is on vocals and fiddle and Samuel Mogadisco is a poet/drummer on cajon and percussion.

The event begins at 1pm and entry is free. Guests can picnic in the grounds.

Kim Moginie said guests should bring a picnic, rug, chairs and a hat.

"We also have our delicious pizzas from our woodfire pizza ovens," Kim Moginie said.

"We are releasing a new, lower alcohol ros? plus there is our range of other wines to taste and buy.

"The Applecello, made from pink lady apples, makes a beautiful apple cider mixer with soda water and ice."

Rain, hail or shine the event will be held - if it's a nice day it will be in the vineyards, if it is dreary it will be in the winery.

The concert will be held at Joadja Vineyards and Winery, Greenhills Rd, Berrima, tomorrow from 1pm.
