Past Events
23 May 2025 Ashley Naylor
supported by Maggie Lockhart
Ash Naylor is a Melbourne singer/songwriter of much acclaim who formed seminal power-pop trio Even many years ago.
He is the human riff and can play any tune of the last 60 years. His humble and witty anecdotes are as treasured as his playing.
He is now the gun guitarist & Musical Director for Rockwiz and assorted theatre shows. He is also a vital part of esteemed acts as the Stems, Paul Kelly and the Church to name a few.
This performance is not to be missed.
Supporting Ashley is the talented songstress/musician Maggie Rachel Lockhart.
Maggie Rachel Lockhart is a re-emerging Naarm/Melbourne based music artist, classically trained pianist, multi-instrumentalist, lyricist, performer and emerging producer. Her music has been described as emotive, ethereal and uniquely captivating.
"Heartfelt thanks to everyone at the St. Andrews Community Centre for hosting one of the most memorable nights I've had.
From Mark Bourke who put the show together, Mark and Chris on front of house sound and lights and Julie and her colleagues at the venue making sure everything was just right for myself and fellow musician, Maggie Lockhart.
The atmosphere among the volunteers and the patrons was one of respect and enthusiasm, two ingredients which keep wind in my musical sails after all theses years.
Performing in this space has been a long time in the works but I can't wait to return to St Andrews Community Centre.
Sincerely
Ashley Naylor"

11 Oct 2024 Fenn & George Wilson
Fenn Wilson’s lyrics turn pain into poetry, laced with light; compassion and wisdom beyond his years imbue every line. He is mesmerising on stage, either solo or surrounded by his skilled and sensitive sidemen, creating thunderstorm dynamics reminiscent of Jeff Buckley. Fenn’s songcraft is astounding; echoes of a young John Martyn or Glenn Hansard filter through in his faultless guitar rhythms and cunning doubling of vocal melodies. Memorable hooks abound, without a trace of gimmick or cliché. And then there’s his voice.
George Carroll Wilson's solo project Pollyman delivers glam rock hooks and old school looks with a sparkling and original blend of rock and roll and pop through the ages. Inspired by such artists as Jeff Buckley and David Bowie, Pollyman flaunts a defiant sound and exhilarating live performances that leave an indelible mark long after the final note has been played.
