perhaps the longest running session in Brizz, namely at the story bridge Hotel, has since its demise 2 weeks ago now morphed, temporarily at least, into a moveable feast. We will be trying out new venues over the next month, and after that deciding on a more permanent new home.

This saturday will be at the Boundary in West end, starting at 2pm. Week after that will be at the Shafston, East brisbane. More venues advised later.

I only visited that session once when I was visiting from Sydney, but I really enjoyed it. How come you can't be at the Story Bridge Hotel any more? Did it go the way of the Glengarry in Sydney with pokies taking over?

We are currently having sessions in people's homes because it seems to be getting harder and harder to find a pub for a session. Good luck in finding a new home.

Jenny - The Story bridge Hotel is gentrifying, and the old semi-tropical style sesh bar is now all glass chrome and concrete with a swish wine cellar next door. But we'l live on. The folk scene here is too strong to be kept down. There are house parties/sessions almost every Sat night, and plenty of informal camping gatherings throughout the year, not to mention about 3 regular folk clubs, 2 of them weekly.

See ya
