The BUg BAzAAr: Opening night - Zumpa + Georgie Neilsen Duo + Dead Song Society

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.

Presented by volunteers from The BUg - Brisbane Unlugged Gigs

Let Zumpa whisk you away to enchanting Italian fishing villages, moonlit olive groves, and the vibrant essence of peasant life under the Mediterranean sun. Immerse yourself in their spirited fusion of folk and Italian world music, creating an authentic experience that's as rich and satisfying as a delectable plate of spaghetti and meatballs.

A seasoned performer and writer, she has graced sold-out shows including Girl and Guitar, Women in Voice ’19, and The Rise of Suzi Quatro. Inspired by generations of female storytellers, her latest material sparks nostalgia and strength through vulnerability.
