Overview

For the past 23 and a half years, one woman has shaped the musical tastes of Brisbane. And over the past five in particular, she's helped unearth a wealth of talent, including Jeremy Neale, Babaganouj, WAAX and Baskervillain.

It should come as little surprise, then, that the quartet of bands are keen to pay tribute to Joc Curran. As the original co-founder and manager of The Zoo, she played no small part in helping their careers, as Farewell to Joc From The Last Five Years recognises.

It's the sendoff every beloved venue head deserves, showcasing the music and the vibe that's made the Ann Street mainstay what it is under Curran's reign. And it's not the only goodbye event in her honour, with The Zoo also hosting 23.5 — A Dual Celebration to mark Curran's departure and welcome her replacement Pixie Weyand; however with that all-star homage selling out in record time, it is the only farewell shindig with tickets still available.
