DAISY KILBOURNE
FRIDAY 5 JUNE / 8:30PM

Genre: Singer-songwriter, Folk

Join Daisy Kilbourne as she launches her brand new album 'All The Hurt' into the world!

This is my debut album, All The Hurt. It’s dedicated to my father, with whom I grew up playing music and who inspired me to become an artist. I adored the time I had with him. Covering songs of love, loss, heartbreak, and everything in between, it’s a peek into my brain — a glimpse into what the last ten years of my life have looked like. It truly feels like a part of me that I’m sharing, and I hope it connects with you and helps in some way.

An intimate evening of stories and songs, with special guests to be announced.

TICKETS ARE LIMITED & ON SALE NOW

MIGUEL BROOKING
SATURDAY 30 MAY / 4.30PM

Genre: Folk, Blues, Soul, Pop

Hailing from the countryside of south-west England; Miguel’s Journey has spanned half the globe and endured the vertigo of unpredictable plot-twist. Setting aside acting in 2020 and reaching for his guitar; he has spent the last few years recording catalogue and developing his live show in Melbourne alongside a 6-piece band of some of the city’s finest.

Miguel’s music has begun rippling across hemispheres – with a headline UK tour this year alongside his first taste of Australian festivals.
