Here's the deal - Foundry 616 is an awesome venue with a great stage, a soundman to die for and to top it off, a baby grand - elements that made this a great place. Unfortunately despite AWEsome acts on the nights we held Originals at 616, we did not fill the venue, thus financially it was not a win-win situation. https://www.facebook.com/BucketLounge?fref=ts
There was once a night known as the
Bucket Lounge over at Bondi. From there the night birthed itself at Mr Falcons in Glebe as "Live & Originals @ Mr Falcons". We gave birth to "Originals @ 616" on Feb 2nd 2015 - showtimes are the first and fifth Monday of each month. This is an exciting newish venue offering the best in contemporary music from jazz to world, to classical, to jazz crossover and new/improvised music - they've opened their front doors to be a platform for our night to spotlight up & coming independent artists and the not so up & coming independent artist. Our night consists of 3 acts of original independent performers - everything from folk to reggae to ska to spoken word and all that goes on between. Each performer gets about 30 - 40 mins on the stage. There'll be a $10.00 door tix ($5 for JMC & TAFE students) with ALL donations going to the performers that play that night. At the end of the night, the $$$ is divvied up between the 3 acts. This is a night for independent artists, some have CDs & some don't. It gives the artist a chance to showcase their music or spoken word, to promote & sell their CD; and as a platform to just get out there and start to make connections. Singers, songwriters and performers are welcome to play here and to gain some recognition and to promote/sell their CD. Feel free to contact us to be part of our musical community.
