Kookaburra Folk The Kookaburra Café, |
The Kookaburra Folk Club is held on Wednesday nights from 7:30pm upstairs at the Kookaburra Café, 280 Given Tce, Paddington, Brisbane. There’s no entry fee and the café is licensed with good food served all night. We are fully acoustic/unplugged - no mics necessary as the room is small and intimate and the audience listens (and usually joins in choruses at the drop of a hat). Floor singers are always welcome and can mostly be assured of a 5 song/20 minute set (if you’re planning to perform, come in at 7:30pm and talk to Ian Clarke, our MC – or, if you can’t make it until later, ring Anne on 07-3366-2248 and let her know you’d like a set). Singing starts at 8pm with a set from the resident group The Wayfarers and continues until 11pm.
July Special Guests
July 1: Mary Brettell ‘With A Little Help From Her Friends’. Mary B has been overseas in the UK and Ireland for a couple of months – now she’s back home. Before she left she launched a brand new CD With A Little Help From My Friends and tonight we’re celebrating the CD and Mary’s return. If you missed the CD launch at Folk Redlands in April, this is an opportunity for you to hear some of the great tracks presented by the performers who joined Mary on the CD - and catch up with Mary again. A double celebration! With A Little Help From My Friends features songs written by Mary’s friends - and also Mary’s very first song Danish on the Deck.
We have many fine regular performers every Wednesday night - so come up the stairs behind the bar at the Kookaburra Café and join us.
For more information, ring Anne on Anne 07-3366-2248, or

Warwick Folk Club
Warwick is a pleasant 2 hour drive from Brisbane and if anyone would like to bring instruments and voices and overnight on Saturday, O’Mahony’s have bags of accommodation at very reasonable rates then we could have a pre-concert gathering on Saturday evening. There are also a couple of gaps in the Sunday concert which I would like to fill from the ranks of Brisbane Folkies.

features Not Real Young & Stockade on July 19
Are you one of those who never really understood what Neil Young was singing about but just knew what he meant? Can you recite all the lyrics (but just don't ask me to explain them)? Then you will love Not Real Young, a tribute to the master of 70s acoustic music. Not Real Young consists of Bill Edwards (guitar), Jeff Harper (guitar, harp, accordion), Jim McLean (bass), Noel Watson (banjo), Jackie Saunders (fiddle, cello) and Rob Saunders (mandolin).
Stockade released their debut CD, Common Man in 2008. Acoustic Roots & Blues dipped in Folk Rock with a slice of Celtic on the side and a splash of Gypsy Jazz to wash it all down! They play great music, and love playing it - create a magic that makes everyone feel included - such a BIG sound. A lively, spirited and professional performance.
