Saturday 27th September 2025, 7:00pm – Lidcombe Bowling Club

Back at Lidcombe Bowling Club in September! The club is supporting live music by having bands at least one Saturday every month, and it’s us again in September!  We’ve played there a few times now and it’s always great fun, thanks to a friendly crowd and the resident soundman Gavin’s work on  sound, lights and sometimes even a smoke machine!

The address is 3 James Street Lidcombe. The bistro has been undergoing renovations and a small avian animal tells me it should be open by the time our gig comes around – perfect! There are also a number of restaurants nearby if you prefer – but I’ll be trying the bistro!

You can check out the Club at https://www.lidcombebowlingclub.com.au/.

Hope to see you there!  And as we always say, Bring your friends!  Bring your enemies!

The Gig’s up: Another night of fun at Lidcombe – see This could be habit forming! for a pic and a blurb…

Saturday 21st June 2025, 7:00pm – Lidcombe Bowling Club

We’re back at Lidcombe Bowling Club in June! The club is supporting live music by having bands at least one Saturday every month, and for June that’s us! Start time is 7:00pm, ’til late!  We’ve played there twice now and its been great each time, thanks in no small part to resident soundman Gavin’s lights and, last time, a smoke machine!

The address is 3 James Street Lidcombe. The bistro has been undergoing renovations but with any luck should be open by June.  Failing that there is a hot food van in the car park (I had a burger from them last time which I can recommend – delicious!), or a number of restaurants nearby if you prefer. Check them out at https://www.lidcombebowlingclub.com.au/.

Hope to see you there!  And as we always say, Bring your friends!  Bring your enemies!
