Overview
When the middle-of-the-week blues hit, there are two solutions. Hitting a bar for a midweek drink is a tried-and-tested pick-me-up, while listening to someone else sing away their troubles also remains an old favourite. Acoustic Wednesdays, The Triffid's Wednesday night acoustic session, combines both — and the free music series is livening up your hump day almost every week.
The music lineup changes each time, but that just means that you've got multiple excuses to head along. The Triff usually announces its artists in monthly batches — and if you make a music date for Wednesday, February 23, you'll be seeing Meg Ripps take the mic, as well as Karlou.
In March, Zander Rhodes and Georgie Taylor are on the bill on March 2, Zoe Quinn and Cryss Coleman on March 9, Harry Kidd and Nick Marks on March 23, and Ryan Nak and Nathan MT on March 30
These talented performers will do their unamplified thing and make your midweek brighter, with the laidback festivities taking over the Newstead hangout at 6.30pm. The venue's relaxed beer garden proves the perfect place for it, and an ideal spot for grabbing a few beverages — and even a bite to eat.
