Saturday night sees the return of The Branco Heist, who will be promoting the recent release of their debut album, and on Sunday night, Streams of Brandy take to the stage.

On Wednesday night, July 17, Nick Stephenson’s Mid Week Music features Kara, a Russian folk band, and The Tuesday Club.

And next Thursday, July 18, Bernie Devine returns with The B.D. Blues Band.

Entry to all gigs is free and they get underway at around 8.30pm.
