Guinness lives here all year and so do our beaut’ Irish folk friends.

JULY 11. RUBY GILL
Award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ruby Gill returned with her long-awaited sophomore album, Some Kind of Control, on March 28, 2025. An anthemic, choir-laced, poetic epic featuring Angie McMahon, Annie-Rose Maloney, Hannah McKittrick and more, the album is, in Gill’s words, “looser, gayer, and even more raw.” To celebrate, she’s bringing its ten body-focused, politically rich, and deeply intimate songs on a national tour across Australia in 2025, performing in the country’s finest venues alongside some of our most exciting artists.
The Joburg-born, Naarm-based artist's first tour leg was a total sellout, lighting up packed rooms all along the East Coast. Now, she’s back with the second leg, hitting northern NSW and QLD—don’t miss your chance to catch her live.
Widely adored for her ability to stun a room into hear-a-pin-drop silence with unforgettably honest - and wryly humorous - offerings that can bring even the most cynical to tears, Ruby Gill has been turning heads and ears with 2018 single ‘Your Mum' (2018) which garnered millions of streams and a full add to triple j in its first week, and 'you should do this for a living' (2021) which earned Gill the title of triple j Unearthed Feature Artist, Internationally acclaimed debut album 'I'm gonna die with this frown on my face' (2022) was nominated for an Australian Music Prize and Best Folk Work at the Music Victoria Awards, and the Sunday Times' coveted 'Breaking Act.'
Now, the highly-anticipated Some Kind Of Control has landed with a resounding welcome, debuting on the ARIA charts at #26 in Australian Albums and #5 in Australian Country (Ruby thinks this is a bit random, but she'll take it), and garnering Double J's Feature Album, FAR OUT's Album of the Week, Rolling Stone's Best New Australian Music and charting radio support across the US, UK and Australia.
Over the next few months, Ruby Gill is ready to take her boldest work yet to the stage. Don’t miss her live in 2025.
AUGUST 2. JORDAN IRELAND
A few years back, one beautiful winter’s night, we hosted a free show here with multi-instrumentalist songwriter and composer Jordan Ireland. Those lucky enough to see that show left reeling, it was bloody magical! At the time, Ireland was celebrating the release of his record ‘Spirit Walking’ a collection of instrumental piano motifs invoking both spiritual jazz elements and meditative ambient traditions as a portal into a world of playful imagining and astral exploration.
Formerly a member of far North Queensland folk collective The Middle East, Jordan leads the Sydney based experimental improv-ensemble Zig Zaggers, as well as the chamber pop folk collective Purple Orchestra and his heart to heart solo project Stolen Violin.
Up soon, on another winter’s night - August 2, we’ll welcome him back, alongside the Zig Zaggers Ensemble for another show.
JUNE 14. THE HONKY TONK SWINGERS
We're excited to welcome the rag tag bunch of talents to the pub for their first real stage show.
