Irish singer/songwriter Roesy returns to The Poet with songs from his catalogue of 8 albums and a fresh collection of originals.

Blending rich, introspective songwriting with the songs that have shaped his journey, this gig marks the start of a new chapter. Roesy will be airing some of his new work for the first time.

Known for his soulful and intimate performances, Roesy’s return is one not to miss.

Evocative, enchanting and above all, human, The The Village Square combines live music performance and storytelling. Set in an imagined town some years ago (as all good fairy tales are), The Village Square presents stories of love and loss, misfortune and mirth, the graceful and grotesque.

Nat celebrates the launch of Acceptance Does Not Mean Surrender in Brisbane, with her ARIA-nominated jazz quartet and members of Brisbane chamber music ensemble Topology.

Don’t miss Nat’s first performance in Brisbane since 2022 - this time, sharing music for climate resilience, featuring the voices of climate scientists, a new collaboration between some of Melbourne and Brisbane’s finest jazz and classical artists, and the beautiful plant-filled environment.

Robbie Melville's Secret Trio makes instrumental music. The three musicians wander through a landscape of chamber music, contemporary jazz, Nordic folk and imaginary film scores.

Featuring violinist Sophie Dunn (Devil Goat Family String Band), accordionist Phil Mcleod (The Blue Grassy Knoll) and guitarist/composer Robbie Melville, their performances balance meticulous composition with free-spirited improvisation, moving from one small story to the next.

Inspired by the understated humour of Richard Brautigan, the observant photographs of Viktor Kolář and the quietly cinematic scores of Mark Orton, the trio embraces restraint as readily as exuberance, finding equal joy in melody, texture and the unexpected. Melville introduces many of the pieces with a story. Some of them are true. Then the trio plays.

The name Secret Trio comes from Melville's reluctance to admit - even to himself - that he was beginning another musical project.
