Event Details

The BUg BAzAAr is a bold new monthly night of live music in West End. To be held at Mirrorball Ministries on the last Thursday of each month.

It opens with the Dead Song Society – a joyful, stripped-back community singalong.
Two feature acts follow: an intimate acoustic set, then an upbeat, dance-ready band.

Grassroots, volunteer-powered, and proudly community-driven.
Fresh sounds, shared voices, and a little BUg mischief in the mix.

* 28 MAY – 8.45pm Crooked Compass Club (debut performance) + 7.45pm Blown Away Brass & Drums + 7pm Dead Song Society

ENTRY: $15

Presented by volunteers from The BUg – Brisbane Unlugged Gigs www.brisbaneunpluggedgigs.org

8.45pm Crooked Compass Club

This new band fuses traditional and traditional-sounding folk-tinged melodies with driving electronic beats, deep funk basslines and contemporary rhythms, creating a high-energy, hypno-folkadelic sound built to make people dance.

David De Santi accordion, Gareth Mewes violin, Benja King electric bass, Katie Randall drums + guest singer Lizzie Flynn. Think ‘croft’ band Shooglenifty from Scotland.

7:45pm Blown Away Brass & Drums

Blown Away is a lively brass quiutet — two trumpets, French horn and tuba and drums — delivering everything from traditional brass band classics to modern pop favourites.

Roaming festival streets, they bring bold sound, big smiles and bursts of musical energy, lighting up every corner and surprising audiences wherever they appear.

7:15pm Dead Song Society

DEAD SONG SOCIETY has arrived hosted by Bec Hoole (AKA indie artist Pipin), is a bold new community-singing project inspired by the spirit of Dead Poets Society, celebrating creativity, connection and joyful rebellion. Gather to sing fun, quirky songs, embrace your inner mischief-maker, and discover the freedom that comes from raising voices together. Carpe cantum – seize the song!
