Vinyl Night Theme Announcement... 🥁

Let's celebrate the impending school holidays with a spin of records that somehow fit the theme, 'Songs from Holidays' 🍹 🌞 🌊 ⛺️

Do you have a creative take on this theme? We'll start: 'Take it Easy' by The Eagles.

As always, the theme is encouraged but not enforced 😉

Keeping North is kicking off the single-release tour of 'Singapore', here at the Cardigan Bar this Friday!

Curious to know what to expect? Their album Deamons & Dreamers, released in early 2025, received strong support from Australian radio, particularly ABC Radio and its country music programs. Susan Jarvis, from Capital News, Australia's premier country music magazine, described the album as "an exquisitely crafted piece of work, filled with powerful, moving songs with melodies that either enhance the lyrics, or act as a discordant counterpoint to them. Every song on the album is superb and deserves forensic listening and reflection."

Looking forward to welcoming Keeping North back to Sandgate this Friday night!

Rag Wizard is a Brisbane-based jazz collective formed in 2023 that performs a unique, vintage blend of ragtime, traditional jazz, swing, and blues. They regularly perform at venues like The Burrow in West End, and we're thrilled to have them back at the Cardigan Bar on the north side tonight!

The band rotates through a collective of "Wizards and Witches," featuring some of the finest traditional jazz musicians from the Brisbane area 👌
