Delatite Hotel are excited to welcome Pete Denahy & Wide Island for a Courtyard performance.

Award-winning, always crowd-pleasing, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and comedian Pete Denahy is fronting the band 'Wide Island' for a series of shows this November. Wide Island are Montz Matsumoto on banjo, Hiroki Maeta on mandolin, Aaron McLean on bass with special guest Daniel Watkins on guitar. With a swag of their original tunes plus some old classics, they will bring the songs of Australia, Kentucky and Japan to life in their own high lonesome way.

Wide Island is a testament to Pete's strong connection to Japan and its bluegrass music. The band name comes from a literal translation of Hiroshima, home town of both Pete's mum and Hiroki. Those who saw Wide Island at Mountaingrass Bluegrass and Old Time Festival in 2015 or 2017 or have travelled to Japan with Pete's music travel business know that they are in for a special treat this year with Hiroki Maeta coming to Australia and the band demonstrating the reach of bluegrass in the Australasian region.

A Sunday evening of fabulous music in their Courtyard (wet weather plan in place).
