A former union organiser and activist based in New York, George Mann sings songs from the last century of labor and social activism, and his own songs are powerful and funny takes on the state of the nation. His concerts are part sing-along, part history lesson, and he can make you shout for joy, send chills down your spine or bring tears to your eyes in the same set..
Tia Juana and her Depths of Despair is local identity Tia Wilson with a variable band of supporters.They bring a performative element to the club, combining comic cabaret with folk music. They have performed at both Sydney and Melbourne Fringe Festivals, as well as this and last year's Illawarra Folk Festival.
