- Wednesday 1 July 2009 - Our Monthly Club Night
Our Club Nights occur monthly and provide members and guests with an opportunity to share their music in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. These night's attract novices performing for the first time outside of the comfort of their bedrooms, and seasoned artists. Many friends are made and ongoing collaborations are established.
If you are not a muso, you are welcome as well, you can come along and listen and enjoy the music and friendship.

This building is more than 100 years old. The interior includes ancient red bricks, stained timber, great acoustics, excellent ambiance, no smoke, no background noise, comfy chairs, reasonably priced drinks .. excellent all round.
Come along, listen or participate. All in exchange for a gold coin donation.
Under the Grandstand, Queen Elizabeth Oval View Street, starting at 7:30pm.
