Phil Jamieson
As the voice and face of Grinspoon, Phil Jamieson fronted one of the most popular Australian bands of the last two decades. An accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist, Jamieson’s generation-defining lyrics and vocal melodies first became etched into rock fans’ DNA in 1995. So began a love affair that maintained its heat and passion for over one thousand live shows, six consecutive Top 10 debuts and multi-platinum album sales.
“In 2017, Phil is lean and lucid; articulate and vocally immaculate; sober and suave. He was a consummate showman, dancing like a marionette, prancing like a gazelle and holding court like a raconteur when the music stopped.”

Andy Jans-Brown
Is a singer songwriter from Byron Bay mixing rebel rhythms, contagious hooks and provocative poetry.
Andy’s live performances are also well known, he has opened for Nick Cave and the bad seeds with his former band ‘Iris’ and has played The Caloundra Music Festival, Qld, Byron Bay Guitar Festival, Wildwood Festival in Port Macquarie, Nellijam Festival in Batemans Bay, NSW , Warandyte and Darebin Music Festivals, Vic, The Oz Music Week in Paris, France and twice played The Indie Entertainment Summit in North Hollywood, CA, USA expanding his audience both here in Australia and abroad.
Other notable supports include Portugal The Man, ME (Band), The Preatures, Boney M and Stonefield.
“Compassionate, sensitive, and soulful lyrics imbued with life’s experiences, Jans-Brown is certainly forging an exceptional musical path with superstar stamped all over it, laced with soul and deep insights of life, his words shoot at the heart and touch a chord within.”

Sophie Ozard
Sophie Ozard plays soul-drenched indie-pop full of witty lyrical perspectives and commanding hooks. Her distinct style blends together folk, rock, and jazz influences.
Her two self-released singles have attracted both national and international airplay, and she has played alongside artists such as Bernard Fanning, Tex Perkins, and Phil Jamieson. With radio presenters calling her a “sonic gunslinger” and “sharp, angular lyricist”, a live show honed over the last few years of playing shows and festivals across Aus and NZ, and a debut EP due in 2021, she is quickly finding her feet as an artist.

The local artist GUMALAB presents a project with an indigenous background.⁠
From the Megalopolis city of Sao Paulo, artist Rafael Guma has an indigenous background that called him after a chaotic professional life as a graphic designer.⁠
Inspired, perhaps amazed by all the ancient knowledge that has been lost – sometimes by natural disasters, by greed – and the connections between those previously unrelated cultures,⁠
he immersed himself in a journey dedicated to exploring this unrevealed world of possibilities, through recognition, self-awareness, feminine empowerment, and environmental knowledge.⁠

Brunswick Picture House presents Sam Simmons
2021-01-14 19:00 - 2021-01-17 20:00
One of Australia’s most daring and unconventional comics, completely original and vastly absurd, heads to Brunswick Heads!
I am Sam, Sam I am.
I’ve never had a mammogram
I did not have one in a shed
I will not in a trundle bed
I did not have one on my bum
I just ate a biscuit crumb
I think I found it in my hair
How expensive’s childcare?
One mighty rough year = One mighty DUMB show.
NO life lessons, NO profundity and NO epiphanies.
Just one hundred percent guaranteed gelastic and frivolous escapism from the “new normal”.
This shall surely be an evening of socially distant people congregating safely in a room facing forward.
Number 52 your human lamington is ready.
WINNER Comedy Award, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2015
WINNER Most Outstanding Show, Melbourne Comedy Festival 2015

Bangalow Film Festival
2021-01-14 - 2021-01-23
BANGALOW FILM FESTIVAL NOW ON SALE
The full 2021 Bangalow Film Festival program of classics, new features, documentaries, family films, live music, and more, is now on sale.
Film lovers will meet at the Showgrounds, and the A&I Hall, from January 14, as the village lights up for eight exciting days of films and events.
Opening with the not-to-be-missed drive-in screening of Fellini’s 1960 masterpiece, La Dolce Vita, the program is jam-packed with films for everyone:
High Ground, starring Jack Thompson, Simon Baker and Jacob Junior Nayinggul is a Northern Rivers’ premier. Shot in Kakudu National Park by Andrew Commis (Babyteeth) and directed by Stephen

Maxwell Johnson (Yolngu Boy), this is a great opportunity to preview the film before it hits our local screens.
Food and dog lovers will be delighted by a screening of The Truffle Hunters, a heart-warming documentary that was a hit at the Cannes film festival. It follows a group of fascinating characters and their beloved dogs as they roam the Italian countryside in search of the elusive and lucrative truffle. It’s an outdoor screening where you will be able to sit under the stars with your well- behaved pooch, while you both dream of far-away places and delicious cuisine.
Also in the food strand of the festival is the fascinating new documentary Ottolenghi & The Cakes of Versailles. Via London, Versailles, and Instagram, the film follows famous chef Yotam Ottolenghi on his quest to bring the sumptuous art and decadence of Versailles to life in cake form at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He assembles a team – a veritable who’s who of the dessert world, including Dominique Ansel and Dinara Kasko – to help bring his vision to life. There’s history in every slice!
The Bangalow Film Festival 2021 closes with a very special screening of the spaghetti western, A Fistful of Dollars. The film was originally scored by the maestro of film composition, Ennio Morricone, who passed away last July. At this closing event, the film will be accompanied by a new score composed and played live by the celebrated composer and DJ Chiara Costanza.
Chiara Costanza is a Melbourne-based music composer, producer and DJ born and raised in Torino, Italy. Classically trained in piano and later exposed to electronic music after moving to Melbourne in 2004, Chiara has since moved into a well-respected position in the Australian electronic music scene, where she performs under the moniker Chiara Kickdrum. Her score for A Fistful of Dollars pays a heartfelt tribute to Morricone’s music. She will be accompanied by a number of local musicians playing on stage alongside her.
Byron Mayor, Simon Richardson, says: “I’m looking forward to seeing both locals and visitors safely enjoying this exciting new film festival in Bangalow, after a challenging year that saw so many events cancelled in the community. Congratulations to the organisers for a great addition to our creative calendar.”

A plantation distillery on their cattle & cane farm, nestled in the green caldera surrounding Mt Warning in Northern NSW. Our vision was to create a premium, paddock to bottle agricole rum with a unique Australian expression. Our journey is now in it’s eighth year. We’ve had to develop new skills and adapt new methods of small-scale cultivation, harvesting and crushing not used in the area before. We’ve designed our distillery based on fermentation, distillation and maturation methods not typically used in commercial rum distilleries and the result is a rum that we are proud to say has the unique characteristics of our part of the world – our provenance.

Byron Supper Club - A Taste Of Broadway
2021-01-07 19:00 - 2021-01-09 22:00
Byron Supper Club Brings a Taste of Broadway to the Shire

We all know Byron Bay as a unique and highly desirable tourist destination. The region as a whole offers a vast array of world-class entertainment options and it is about to add another string to its bow – high-end theatre.
Michael Cormick is an internationally renowned singer and actor with a diverse career throughout Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe. His leading roles include The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast, The Woman in White, and many more.
Michael brings this wealth of experience as he embarks on his new role as Artistic Director of Byron Supper Club. Inspired by Broadway, the show will premiere on Thursday 7 January with two more shows on Friday 8 and Saturday 9.
“Byron Supper Club is a truly unique theatrical experience. It is completely different to anything Byron has seen before. A rare opportunity to dress up and enjoy a glamorous night out at the theatre,” says Michael.

If you’ve ever loved The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables or Moulin Rouge, this is your chance to experience musical theatre at its grandest and most intimate.

For three nights only, the Byron Theatre will transform into Byron Supper Club, with cabaret style tables replacing traditional theatre seating. The night will feature five pop-up shows over three hours in an elegant supper club setting. Expect the unexpected in this submersive, intimate theatre experience.
“I love the live element of performing in a theatre. It’s an immediate exchange between the performer and the audience,” says Michael. “I have been a performer all my life, and have experienced this in many forms in lead roles across London, New York, Paris, Italy and at home here in Australia, but to be in such an intimate setting makes this truly special.”

West End star Michael draws on his extensive theatre experience as he presents some of Australia’s most iconic musical theatre stars, along with Byron’s best local talent.
Michael leads a world-class cast, with musical theatre icons Rachael Beck (Cats, Beauty and the Beast, Les Misérables), Blake Bowden (The Book of Mormon, Fiddler on the Roof) and Graeme Isaako (Aladdin). They are joined by soul powerhouse Lisa Hunt and jazz ensemble the Sharny Russell Trio.
“The audience can expect a night of incredible entertainment. Music all night and theatrical extravaganzas that pop up throughout the evening. Also, the luxury of table service and, of course, our Taste of Byron supper platters, full of delicious local produce,” says Michael.

Enjoy a spectacular theatre show with family or friends around the central circular stage, or an intimate night out at a table for two with wonderful views from the Balcony.

Bruns Picture House presents Reuben Kaye: The Butch Is Back
2021-01-06 21:00 - 2021-01-07 23:00
The evil love child of Liza Minnelli and Jim Carrey is back in Brunswick Heads and no one is safe!
And as a little reward for making it through this last year, The Butch wants you to come out and play! After all, who doesn’t need a bit of filth, a lot of camp, and an opportunity to get downright dirty? It’s exactly what we do best here at the Picture House. So what better tonic for these times than to present… the incredible REUBEN KAYE and his new show, THE BUTCH IS BACK!
Yes, the artist described as “the evil love child of Liza Minnelli and Jim Carrey” is back for two VERY SPECIAL shows, and you’ll get a chance to see him up close and personal.
In 2018, we unleashed the amazing award-winning cabaret star Reuben Kaye on Bruns audiences and it’s safe to say that it was a mutual love affair. Returning in 2019 for two big sold-out shows, we’re now excited to announce that dear Reuben, the reigning Lockdown Lady of Leisure, is finally packing his bags and flying back to the Brunswick Picture House for much-needed light relief in these two exclusive, special shows.
Obscenely intelligent, beautifully filthy, and rib-crackingly funny, cabaret superstar Reuben Kaye is what happens when you tell your children they can be anything they want to be. Having tantalised audiences as the special guest host of the international hit show sensation CLUB SWIZZLE — from the team behind the Brunswick Picture House — the full Reuben Kaye experience is a dazzling explosion of big notes, high camp, lashes and teeth.
In a simply delicious mélange of energy, acid wit and casual sensationalism, Reuben Kaye’s own brand of melodramatic showmanship has wowed audiences and critics around the globe. Kaye’s delivery is flawless as he seamlessly blends lavish storytelling into gilded song, incorporating an impressive repertoire that ranges from Kurt Weill to Kate Bush, regularly punctuating his monologue with rich cultural critique.

ECO WALK BYRON BAY with PLASTIC FREE BOY
2021-01-05 - 2021-01-31
ECO TOUR: CALL TO ACTION FOR 2021 WITH PLASTIC FREE BOY

Plastic Free Boy invites families and visitors on an exciting and informative eco-tour through the forest up the lighthouse and back through the iconic beaches of Byron Bay.
You will appreciate this environment through the eyes of a local 14-year-old kid, who grew up swimming with the local turtles and dolphins since he was born.
” I am excited to share with you important information about the environment that makes Byron Bay the iconic place it is.
Why? Because I feel it is time to give back to Nature, the way it cares for us. And my part is to share knowledge of what precious gifts we are receiving by just being here. What the trees are and what they do for us. What the ocean holds and what it does for us. If we understand more about how much we need a thriving environment around us, then I believe that people will join me in giving back, restoring, and caretaking. Hey, and it is fun!! I will also talk about the history of Byron Bay including highlights about the lighthouse. In addition, you will get some invite to my local clean-ups and maybe join me on a snorkel to the local reef.”
By way of an introduction for the people new to the Shire or who do not know me. I am 14 years old, born in Byron Bay, have been making films with my mum, a professional filmmaker to educate people about the problems of and solutions to plastic pollution. It all started on my 11th birthday on the main beach as I witnessed the release of 3 rehabilitated sea turtles back into the ocean. I found out about plastic kills millions of marine animals and with the help of my mum Karin, we embarked on a journey to help save the ocean from plastic pollution. For the past 4 years, I have been showing my film ‘Plastic Alarm’ to over 800 000 students in schools all over Australia. I have spoken at different events such as the 2019 Asia Pacific Cities Summit and Mayor’s Forum. I became Clean Up Australia Day Youth Ambassador as well as the World Clean Up Day Ambassador and was nominated for the Department of Environment Green Globe Award and a Department of Education Student Award. Last year my mum and I started a new film called ‘Plan B’ which offers solutions for how to save the Coral Reefs including the Great Barrier Reef.
