the new jailhouse project we are cooking up...
commencing in June 2025, we will be launching a new concert series in a historic (and reportedly haunted!) old court house & lock-up in the heart of Kew, victoria.
The Kew Court House was built in 1888 and has been redeveloped into a custom-built live music performance space. we will deliver a new ongoing bespoke concert series, featuring music from a different genre for every season. Our focus is on showcasing outstanding original artists. This is a small venue which will deliver an intimate performance experience where patrons will get to know the artists.
artist applications now open
and will close on 8 February 2025.
