Tuesday Throwback 🖤 1955

Even with floodwaters surrounding the pub, it seems it still took more than that to keep the locals away!

A pretty incredible piece of Maitland history, and a reminder of just how much these walls have seen over the years 🍻

THURSDAY AUGUST 27 - DAVE WELLS

The Road to Lightning Ridge is an intimate solo/duo performance and community fundraiser supporting Dave’s upcoming artist residency in Lightning Ridge, NSW.

In September, Dave will travel west for a regional arts residency connected to Tin Camp Studios and THE Hungry Spirit, spending time in the Lightning Ridge community, developing new creative work, connecting with local artists, and headlining a special performance as part of the program.

For this one-off Maitland send-off show, Dave will perform a stripped-back set of original songs, including new material, unreleased personal favourites, and selected songs from across his catalogue, joined by Loretta Wells on backing vocals for what will be an intimate and memorable evening. Funds raised through ticket sales will help support Dave’s journey, with remaining profits directed towards creative arts outcomes in Lightning Ridge and other needs identified by the community and project team. Tickets can be purchased using the link below!

Perfect after a few drinks, before heading home, or from the comfort of your couch with Uber Eats or DoorDash.

Have a look through the menu and let us know what you’re trying first 😍😍😍

THIS SUNDAY 👉 LES POÉTS POP

Les Poètes Pop surfaced above COVID19 and formed by an accidental meeting in a dive bar in Newcastle, Australia.
Instigated by the flowing modern folk storytelling poetry of Gary Seeger, and his drive to tell these stories with a soundtrack. Poetry and music blending together with haunting melodies and the occasional chaos. A mix of twisted lyrics, harmonies and crashing cymbals, a rollicking yet pounding bassline, layered by angular destructive guitars that f**k up the songs beautifully. There’s an intensity to this band that is unlike others. A lively bunch of lively characters, who put on a hell of a live show leaving the audience slightly confused, slightly turned on, and slightly
scared. Think Grinderman/old-Bad Seeds, The Walkmen, Beasts Of Bourbon, with the quirk of Television or Velvet Underground or Brian Jonestown Massacre. Les Poètes Pop is music for people who like new music, but also for people who don’t like new music. Make sense?!

Les Poètes Pop has shared the stage with Mudhoney, The New Christs, Grinspoon, The Hard-Ons, Polish Club, Dune Rats, The Smith Street Band, Cable Ties, Press Club, These New South Whales and British India. We were also
honoured to perform a song with the Callaghan Choir as part of the 2023 Newcastle Writer's Festival alongside Bertie Blackman and Shane Nicholson. Most recently we entered the studio to start work on our debut record, recorded live in the studio, no overdubs, single takes. Latest single, “Blackout”, released 13/06/2025 with a smashing music video; and a follow-up, “Paper Mache Girl” out mid-2026 (both produced by Chit Chat Von Loopin Stab of Machine Gun Fe****io).

We are ready. Are you? See you from 3.30 😍
