Contentious Character often open their cellar doors to visitors, the team has built a solid reputation for outstanding events, though the New Year’s Day party is set to be the best fun yet. Live country blues music by TheGuitarCases, Canberra’s hardest working original musos will setting the tone for the laid-back day.
