This Sunday's bellydance jam kicks of at 1pm (not noon as advertised - oops). But if you're here at noon then you'll see some marching band action!

Can't believe Liz Stringer is finally coming to #Canberra AND at the very best venue Smith's Alternative AND she's already sold it out. How bloody good. I've listened to First Time Really Feeling consistently for 2yrs. Dangerous was my most played song of 2022. I'm just so excited.
