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 at 7pm with a joyful, stripped-back community singalong.
Two feature acts follow at 7.45 and 8.45pm with 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 [https://www.brisbaneunpluggedgigs.org/]

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.

At 25, Brisbane singer-songwriter Georgie Neilsen enters a new folk chapter. 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.
7pm DEAD SONG SOCIETY
Dead Song Society, hosted by Bec Hoole (AKA indie artist Pipin), is a bold new community-singing project inspired by the spirit of Dead Poets Society, celebrating creativity, connection and joyful rebellion. Gather to sing fun, quirky songs, embrace your inner mischief-maker, and discover the freedom that comes from raising voices together. Carpe cantum - seize the song!
Brisbane Unplugged Gigs (The BUg) is a long-running grassroots acoustic music series held weekly in Brisbane. For over 23 years, it has provided a welcoming stage for singer-songwriters, folk performers and emerging artists, alongside established acts from across Australia. Run by dedicated volunteers, The BUg fosters community, creativity and attentive listening in an intimate concert setting. In addition to its Tuesday night concerts, it presents special events including BUgFest, The BUgEtte and the BUg BAzAAr.
