Chin up, kitty cat.
10) ‘Shared Thread’ Photo Exhibition
20th March
What: Imogen O’Doyle and Rachel Choi are proud to present the second edition of Shared Thread: A conversation in photographs. In the midst of the tumultuous times of 2020, the two artists began sharing photographs with each other as a way of nurturing connection and keeping inspired. Rae started with a photo and then Imo responded with one of hers and they went back and forth in this way. They are thrilled to be holding this special one-night only exhibition featuring live music by Full Flower Moon Band.
Why: Instagram, but they charge you upfront instead of selling your information to third parties.

3) Murphy’s Pigs: Live
20th March
What: Throw caution to the wind and set forth on a musical journey through the lands of the Celts as Murphy’s Pigs drag you headfirst into their world of rugged mountains, stormy oceans, fearsome battles, unrequited love and a drop or two of the whiskey. Their unrehearsed style breathes new life into old favourites and firmly places their unique stamp on contemporary treasures…and some not-too-shabby stuff they’ve written themselves. Mildly humorous onstage banter, an insane number of instruments and robust, manly voices unite to create an experience that will, unfortunately, be seared deep into your memory long after the performance is over.
Why: It’s always fun when the band is so self-deprecating we don’t have to bother.

2) St. Patrick’s Day: Irish Murphy’s

With appearances from The Gathering, Qld Irish Assoc Pipe Band, Trad Station, Ramjet, Mark Butler Duo, Tales of Strangers, BERST, Tartan Shamrock, Woody Lives Here, Rob Fitchett and Locky.
Why: The one day a year when people without Irish ancestry can celebrate Irish culture without immediately indicating to everyone that they’re one half-step away from shouting “white power”!

Why: Funny how a phrase like ‘arts in the alley’ can have a completely different meaning when sanctioned by the local council.
