A local favourite for years, Ashgrove's The Junk Bar is sharing the community love around this month. On Thursday nights in February, they're looking in their own neck of the woods for their live music lineup — fittingly called The Neighbourhood Sessions.
From 7.30pm each week until February 22, a different pairing will take to the stage On February 8, Screamfeeder's Kellie Lloyd playing with Luke Peacock, and on February 15 it's Regurgitator's Ben Ely with Seja, while Tylea and Adele Pickvance step onto the stage on the series' last night.
Explaining the concept, Lloyd notes "there are quite of few musicians who live close by on the west side and I thought instead of doing just a one off gig with all of us, we could create a special series of gigs, like a month long festival of Thursday nights." As far as reasons for a mini-festival go, that's a particularly ace one.
