What's On in Beechworth

A free, practical workshop to help you spot misinformation, fact-check with confidence, and respond with respect. In a world where trust in media, facts, and information feels shakier than ever, how do we separate what's real from what isn't, and what does it mean for our communities when we can't? This initiative is supported by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) and the Office for Social Cohesion within the Department of Home Affairs.

Lloyd Spiegel is an Australian bluesman, a guitarist by trade and a storyteller by nature. His performances move effortlessly between jaw-dropping guitar work, powerful vocals, humour, and deeply human moments, creating shows that feel personal, generous, and completely alive in the room. With ten albums to his name and an international touring career spanning North America, Europe, Japan, and beyond, Lloyd is equally respected on world-class festival stages and in intimate listening rooms. At home in Australia, he is recognised as a trailblazer for blues music and has been named among the 50 greatest Australian guitarists of all time. Whether playing to thousands or a quiet, attentive audience, Lloyd Spiegel has a rare gift for connection — making every performance feel like a shared experience, and every listener feel part of the story.
