The BUgette is a fresh new venture from Brisbane Unplugged Gigs Inc, created to champion acoustic-style live music and further connect with acoutic music lovers and the younger Bohemian crowd in West End. We're all about growing Brisbane’s underground acoustic scene and creating a safe, vibrant space where creatives can connect, celebrate each other, and maybe even jump into a session or two.

THE FORMAT

The format for the evening is very similiar to The BUg (New Farm):

6.30pm - doors open (bar is actually open from 4pm)

7pm - up to 3 blackboard acts - 10 minutes max, 2 songs max. See the MC for a spot.

7.45pm - first featured act - Jack Meimaris & Friends

8.45pm - second featured act - Kay Proudlove (NSW)

Hosts: Kristy and Elyse from The Salty Sirens

THE VENUE

The venue is The End Bar, 73 Vulture Street, West End - gig home of The Salty Sirens. They will also be the hosts generally for the evenings.

The End is a laid-back bar in West End, known for its craft beers and cocktails. Its industrial-chic vibe is softened by lush greenery, vintage leather couches, a layered timber bar, and quirky nods to its past life.

THE FEATURE ACTS

7:45pm Georgie Taylor

Brisbane/Meanjin singer-songwriter Georgie Neilsen delivers raw, theatrical songs that balance intimacy and power. From fronting her first band The Growing Pains as a teen to performing across Meanjin and Naarm, her cabaret roots and indie spirit combine in captivating storytelling and unforgettable stage presence..
