Live Show Archive 2019 - Now

SInce our humble begginings in 2019 we have hosted 70+ live music shows, these support the local music scene as well as raise funds for our building to exist as a safe community space for all.

These shows are more than dates on a calendar. They are shared moments.

Our archive celebrates the artists who’ve played here and the audiences who filled the room. Each listing is a snapshot of a night when live music brought us together.
