3. Having a laugh with your mates & enjoying the Toad Racing.
And for the big kids (that’s you, mate), there’ll be ice-cold bevvies flowing all day, plus the triumphant return of Toadman himself – because nothing says “Aussie spirit” like laughing till your sides hurt. Sprinkle that with a cheeky dose of banter (without the caps lock), more excitement than watching Boomers & Gen Z debate over AI lawnmowers and a day so united with mates that even the trolls can’t complain. Hmmm, well that wont stop us anyway! So invite your mates ( real life buddies and keyboard warrior kind welcome) so you can all have a good in person laugh – and maybe teach them the real art of roasting, Aussie Style.

More about Brendan the Bard : Who is Brendan the Bard?
Behold Brendan the Bard! Not a blood-drenched revolutionary lurking in the shadows, but a storyteller armed with simpler tools: a well-worn guitar, a voice etched with tales older than the stones beneath your feet, and lyrics that flow as richly as Burgundy wine. In the dim glow of gritty taverns and the narrow alleys where rebellion simmers like a pot left on the fire, Brendan’s songs paint vivid pictures of rogues, shattered hopes, and beauty sprouting amidst despair.
Brendan isn’t some lofty poet spinning words from thin air. He’s flesh and bone, sweat and ale, a bard forged in the heart of chaos. His ballads are born in the clamor of laughter and the clash of fists, in secrets murmured under smoke-filled skies. He’s the voice of the alleyways, the minstrel of the misfits, the rhythm of countless weary souls.
Supporting live music at our Australian venue is about more than just enjoying a great night out – it’s about championing the heartbeat of our nation’s rich musical culture. Every time you pull up a chair to listen to performers like Brendan the Bard, you’re helping keep the vibrant tradition of Australian storytelling alive. Brendan’s music, born from the backstreets and brimming with raw emotion, tells the tales of our country – its triumphs, struggles, and spirit. By attending, you’re not just clapping along; you’re investing in the livelihoods of Australian artists who pour their hearts into every note.
Why stop there? Show your support in style by grabbing a T-shirt on the day. Choose from our exclusive designs, including the crowd favorite “Blow Up the Pokies” tee – BUY NOW a cheeky nod to keeping the focus on what really matters: the music, the mateship, and the memories. Every purchase helps us keep the doors open, the amps cranked, and the stage lit for incredible talents like Brendan.
Support Aussie musicians, celebrate live music, and walk away with a great story to share – all while looking sharp in your new merch. Let’s keep the music playing!
