RAFE MORRIS, Guillaume Soloacoustic, Drew Walky, Dub Dub Goose ! ! !

In April 2008, Rafe took his guitar and his girlfriend and left Australia in search of adventure, deliciousness and cheap T-shirts. 587 days, 21 countries, 3 new scars, countless kebabs, a new wardrobe and heaps of new songs later, he’s coming home to share stories and songs with his favourite city.

Along with two of his favourite singer songwriters, Drew Walky and Guillaume Soloacoustic, and Dub Dub Goose, a band which he has been dying to hear, Macgregor Hall will be filled with music, laughs, smiles, drinks and other heart warming things.

When : Saturday, Nov 14. Food and drinks from 6.30pm, music from 8pm.

Where : Macgregor Hall, Corner of Barry Drive and Marcus Clarke St, Civic, Canberra.

How : $12 for those who can afford it, $8 for those who can’t.

All Ages, bring ID to buy drinks – or a permission note from your mum.

Woo!
