Eric Bogle - The Career
An extravaganza incorporating sixty of his songs in three two hour concerts. Australia’s greatest folk singer-songwriter (and Scotland can claim him too) Eric Bogle turns eighty later this year and to celebrate, instead of contemplating retirement, he has created an extravaganza incorporating sixty of his songs in a chronological sequence in three two hour concerts, first (Sat afternoon) showcasing his earlier songs (yes, that includes ‘Matilda’), then the middle period (Sat evening) and finally twenty of the more recent songs (Sun afternoon). We strongly recommend coming to all three. It is an amazing body of work, and there are probably sixty more he could add to the concerts, but we’ve only got one weekend. Eric will be accompanied by longtime friends Peter Titchener and Emma Luker, and we are honoured to be the venue selected to present this event, which will be staged at only one other venue in Australia this year.

Grace Petrie
In a welcome return to Trinity Sessions, Grace Petrie is launching her new album "Build Something Better".
It’s over two years since CONNECTIVITY (2021) smashed into the top 40 and debuted at #1 in the UK download chart, propelling the fiercely independent voice of GRACE PETRIE from critics’ choice to the main stages of major festivals across Britain, Australia and Canada.
For a seasoned road dog who spent almost 15 years clocking up tours with the likes of Billy Bragg, Frank Turner and Hannah Gadsby, the COVID lockdowns were like a cage for Petrie and when restrictions lifted, she hit the road harder than ever, armed with her most searing and successful record to date, and determined to make up for lost time. Sell-out headline tours across the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand followed, with audiences from Melbourne to Toronto mesmerised by the ferocity of her socially urgent lyricism and the barnstorming power of her live show. But travelling the globe hasn’t diminished her laser focus on the political issues plaguing the UK, with two more Prime Ministers, endless blunders and evermore division seen since she last swapped microphone for pen and paper.
Now the songwriter is back - stronger, older and a whole lot angrier than ever before. As right wing ideologues trade in suspicion and cynicism, tearing communities apart against a backdrop of crumbling public services, the ordinary folk of Britain continue to suffer the consequences of corruption and individualism.
From within this maelstrom of despair comes BUILD SOMETHING BETTER - the new, uncontainable album from Grace Petrie.
Recorded raw and unflinchingly with folk-punk legend Frank Turner in the producer’s seat, BUILD SOMETHING BETTER is a return to blistering protest form for Britain’s most relevant political songwriter, a decade after being hailed as “a powerful new voice”, (The Guardian) and “a millennial’s Billy Bragg” (Huffington Post). In a world that seems to make less sense than ever, these are songs made to both holler along to from the crowd barrier and to tear up with on a lonely night train. A record for everyone whose broken heart beats for, and whose boots stomp in time with, the hope a brighter tomorrow.

Brian Cadd
Come along to experience some Cadd Magic. It’s been a long, strange trip. Along the way, Brian Cadd – who was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007 – has earned the love and respect of his peers.
Jimmy Barnes says: “Brian Cadd is one of my heroes. He has a body of work like Ray Charles and Hank Williams.”
“Brian Cadd is one of the finest songwriters Australia has ever produced,” adds Ian “Molly” Meldrum, whose first job in the music industry was as a roadie for The Groop, Brian’s band in the ’60s.
Molly once introduced the artist to Elton John by saying: “Brian is probably to Australia what you are to England.”
As well as thousands of live shows – “It’s a real addiction, I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t do it; I can’t play golf, I can’t fish” – Brian has made his mark as a songwriter. His songs have been recorded by Ringo Starr, Joe Cocker, Glen Campbell, The Pointer Sisters, Bonnie Tyler, Yvonne Elliman, Charlie Daniels, Dobie Gray, Cilla Black and Gene Pitney.
