U-Turn (Belco Youth Centre) have a free Gig Night for the teens on Friday 3rd October from 6-9pm. Bands yet to be confirmed.

I’d say come along to one of our gigs except we drink to much and generally fall off stage and things like that 😉

All the best to the bassist. it’s a seriously cool instrument…

Thumper, is it still seriously uncool to be seen in public with a Steinberger?

If it is, I was just checking, you know, for a friend…….

I got in touch with Rosemary at the Holy Grail. Tickets for the Borich/Emmanuel/Joe gig are $35 through Ticketek. The Ticketek site says 18+ but Rosemary told me that underagers are OK as long as they are accompanied by a parent at all times.

Thanks for the info on Woden Youth centre misspriss

Most licenced premises (depending on their licence) will let you him in with you supervised until 10pm when they would have to leave. I’m not sure how many places would have bands playing before then though.

Hi Ramblingted – my 16 year old attends quite a few youth gigs at the Woden Youth Centre. They seem to be quite well supervised. Their website address is http://www.wcs.org.au/programs/youth_services/wyc.html

Some of the bands that play there have myspace pages and usually list their gigs. Some of the bands are Pleased to Jive You (I think they might’ve had a recent name change though), Paqman and Slovac. Hope that helps.

You should defiantly take him to Trackside at thorough bread park
Its an all ages event and its got heaps of really good bands!!
They’re mainly indie bands but they are still awesome

Methinks its the best music festival in Canberra. the only big one in Canberra. Oh and it is music festival season.

Tickets are a little pricey though

I’m sure if you show him the line up im sure he’ll know some of them.

Ive taken an underling to the Holy Grail in Civic to see Sick Puppies some time ago, I think its best to check with them before hand though. I know there is a guitar gig there soon. Kevin Borich, Phil Emmanuel, Smokin’ Joe Robinson, Oct 10.

Oh wicked, my hubby (also a bassist) has gigged with Kevin and Joe and Phil (at different times/venues).
