Award-winning songwriter, Lucy Wise creates music that gently opens a door you didn’t realise was closed.

Blending contemporary folk with pop-inflected melodies, intricate guitar work and poetic lyricism, Lucy’s songs make space for reflection on longing, connection and the inner lives we carry. Originally from South West Australia and now based in Central Victoria, Lucy has spent over 15 years building a career defined by craft, curiosity and emotional honesty.

By late 2026, she will have released five albums and two EPs, including her forthcoming record ‘Salt’. Inspired by artists such as Joni Mitchell and Madison Cunningham, her work sits between the intimacy of traditional folk and the clarity of modern pop.

A seasoned performer, she has toured extensively across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US, and appeared at festivals including Woodford, Port Fairy and the National Folk Festival. Her work has earned multiple accolades, including Solo Artist of the Year at the 2024 Australian Folk Music Awards.

Diving deep into 90s pop and alt rock sounds, ‘Salt’ draws on music Lucy heard on the radio as a kid, including artists such as Lucinda Williams, Sheryl Crow and Crowded House.
‘Salt’ explores diverse topics, from op shopping, to regional Australian life, to power dynamics, to imagining people at a party as glowing sea creatures. Lucy tells stories of everyday moments that shape us with humour and a whole lotta heart.

Songs for Halls is an intimate show featuring compositions by both Jenkins and Cosma, inspired by, the land we walk on, the water that surrounds us, the flora and fauna, love and loss, events which shape us and the people who are the fabric.

This show celebrates the wonderful uniqueness of country towns by featuring a song written especially for your town, to be performed for the very first time on the night of your show. The artists will visit each town in advance, to gather stories, insights and inspiration from the local landmarks, histories and people, and weave them into a bespoke song of and for your town.  

Crowd participation is highly encouraged as many of these songs are great for sing-alongs, and Charles and David have a wicked sense of humour and love a bit of banter! Part comedy, part love letter to regional Victoria, part party – this night is guaranteed to get heartstrings twanging and toes a-tapping.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

“You never met a pair like Butch and The Kid. Not that it matters, but most of it is true” 

Join us for a classic night at the movies as we celebrate one of cinema’s most beloved Westerns — Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. We have secured an amazingly crisp remastered version of this classic film.  Witty, adventurous and endlessly charming, this 1969 favourite pairs clever dialogue with unforgettable performances and a rebellious sense of fun. This special screening pays tribute to the late Robert Redford, whose turn as the cool, charismatic Sundance Kid helped launch a legendary career. Alongside Paul Newman, Redford lights up the screen in a film bursting with humour, heart, and iconic moments that have stood the test of time.
