WE'RE COMING BACK! | NEW HOME FOR EASTERN LOUNGE TO OPEN IN SPRING |
It's been too long, but it looks like we've finally found a new home for Eastern Lounge. We'll be starting a 3-month (3-show) trial from Friday 13 September 2024 at THE BALLY - Balgowlah Bowling Club, Bareena Drive, Balgowlah Heights.
While it's not on the North Shore Line, it's only a 5 minute drive from Manly Wharf, it's a great room of comparable size to Roseville, serves excellent food at the Bistro and quality drinks at the Bar. There's a stage in place and we'll make sure there's room to dance. Sound will again be supplied by our good friend Glyn at One Big Sound who did such a great job for us at Roseville.
Best of all, the management team at the Club is committed to making The Bally a premier live music venue on the Northern Beaches.
We're still firming up the line-ups for these first three shows, but as always with Eastern Lounge, you can expect top quality live music in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Stay tuned for more info.!
ARTISTS FOR 2024 TRIAL TO BE CONFIRMED
“As you would expect, this band is outstanding! Clayton Doley is a world class Hammond player and Shane Pacey has an incredible instinct for playing just the right notes at just the right time. Sally King is a red-hot-mama with a big voice to match, while the rhythm section of Dave Fester and David Green would enhance the front line of any band."
- Dean Edgecombe, Canberra Blues Society
Three Australian Blues Legends come together in one incredible band to bring us a show full of some of the best Blues ‘n’ Roots music you’ll ever hear, anywhere, any time.
As they proved at Bluesfest this year, SHANE PACEY, SALLY KING and CLAYTON DOLEY have created what is probably about as close to a Supergroup as you’ll find on the Australian Blues scene. The three are ably supported by David Green on bass and Dave Fester on drums. The title of their first album says it all really… ‘Better Together’.
SOUTHERN JUNCTION
Southern Junction is a convergence of Rhythm and Blues, Country, Soul, early Rock ‘n Roll and Gospel!
Taya Chani and Matt Ross front the band. Taya brings her monster vocal prowess along with funky guitar playing and unique songwriting talent, while Matt provides the low end vocals and his infamous guitar stylings.
The band boasts decades of collective performance experience and knows how to bring energy, joy and poignancy to every gig!
