What an incredible night out.
Intimate music venue where you get a chance to really connect with the artist and get some insight into the origins and background to some of their music. Fine buffet style vegan food setup, open bar and limited attendees make this a super gift or treat for yourself or a friend. Check out the web page for upcoming events and book early.

Intimate? Ever spooned with a stranger? The Music Box venue has been hollowed out underneath a suburban Observatory home. It can seat 60 people on very small stools. Top SA musos with a free dinner and open bar. Its authentic, a little odd and very cool. Performances seem to be every other month so follow them on Facebook or get onto the mailing list.
