Brunswick’s been losing a few things lately—the Statue of David, the local op shop, Don Boscoe Youth Centre, and a little more from every grocery shop. We can’t fix all that, but we can put a good feed on the table.
FED UP is a welcoming, community-powered meal responding to the cost-of-living crunch, made possible by Brunswick Ballroom, local partners and generous food suppliers.

STELLA ANNING TRIO AUGUST RESIDENCY
Thursday 13 August / 8.30pm

A tight, guitar-driven ensemble exploring the spaces between jazz, soul, and blues. Centred on groove and improvisation, Stella’s trio delivers raw, rhythm-forward interplay and fiery guitar work intertwined with soulful vocals — for listeners who like their jazz a little dirty, deep, and dynamic!

“Sonically rich… with Anning’s guitar nudging post-rock territory… ‘Yellow Brick Veneer’ is the sound of an artist stretching their wings, concocting a blend of folk jazz hinged upon melodic contours, searing beauty, and spirited guitar” - Des Cowley, Rhythms Magazine
