The Supper club
THE SUPPER CLUB
The Supper Club is always held in an intimate space (with kitchen), and has appeared in Nundle, Melbourne, Mylestom. About once a month I book a musician to play, while guests enjoy a meal, prepared by yours truly. Tealights in glass jars adorn the tables to create a special ambience. When guests arrive they help themselves to a complimentary glass of wine, find somewhere to sit (there are no fixed seating arrangements), enjoy each others company, and maybe meet someone new!
The food follows a loose theme; Indian, Thai, Cajun, Moroccan styles have been presented to the 60 or so diners. I love to cook, and these cuisines are among my favourites.
So far the musical talent has been superb, starting in 2013: Melanie Horsnell, Blake Saban, "Big Daddy" Roy Payne, Jimmy Dowling, Heath Cullen, Leah Flanagan, Mick Daley, Vincent Cross, Don Walker, and even Mr Barry Morgan. Add to that classical duo Mimosa, George Washingmachine, Peter Baylor, Lucie Thorne, Alison Ferrier, Ian Collard, Sarah Carroll, Chris Wilson, The Junes, Roy Paynes Hillbilly Bop Safari, Jakal, Suzannah Espie, Jeff Gibson, Liz Stringer, and the Tamworth 2340 Big Band!

Liz Stringer
Thursday 17th November 2016
Melbourne’s Liz Stringer is launching her stunning new full-length album, “All The Bridges”, with a special solo show @ The Nundle Supper Room, Thursday 17th November.
Liz is one of Australia’s most respected and critically acclaimed songwriters and performers. A passionate advocate of independent music and extensive regional touring, she has become a favourite among punters across Australia for her generous and engaging stage demeanour and her skill as a storyteller. As Mick Thomas puts it, “Her performance is as intense as it is personable, as profane as it is sacred”
With acclaimed producer/engineer Adam Selzer at the helm (The Decemberists, Jolie Holland, Fleet Foxes, M Ward), All The Bridges was recorded over 8 days in July 2015 at Type Foundry Studio in Portland, Oregon, USA. The result is a vibrant and assured album, playing tribute to the new West Coast and Americana sound while staying true to Stringer’s roots; telling the common story of the simple soul through folk and rock and roll, layered with bold electric guitars and rich background vocals.
Tickets are $30,....includes dinner....please BYO.. Presales via www.stickytickets.com.au/44359
Being a Thursday in Nundle the performance will start earlier than usual...about 7:30...doors at 7pm.
