I list a few of the free concerts, movies, and other free events in Brisbane. I don't include music in genres that I don't follow regularly such as dance and electronica - not that I don't love those styles of music, just that I can't keep up with everything. For more comprehensive and up to date gig guides, see the list of publications and websites below.
I've enjoyed chatting at Brisbane concerts to Kate Miller-Heidke, Robin Waters (The Boat People), Dan Acfield, and others, and I've enjoyed working with Dan Acfield as part of his street team since early 2007, both for his solo and band projects. It's apt to compare Brisbane's Hannah & Dan Acfield to the New Zealand born Finn Brothers, or perhaps The Waifs from that other great Australian musical city, Perth. The Acfields are great singer/songwriters.
Since the 1980s I've also done lighting and sound production for special events at the 3rd oldest church in Brisbane, St Mary's South Brisbane, a beautiful old Italian building with a diverse musical community. I've had the chance to work with musicians, producers, and ensemble directors including Antonia Breen, Wendy Brown, Paul Holley, Simon Monsour, Josephine Brown, Joan Mooney, and Tom (Dean) Hamilton. Staging events at St Mary's can be a bit like the recent Channel 10 series, Live At The Chapel , with candles and stage lighting, or if using candles entirely, like events at the multi-faith community of Taize .
