Karen Lee Andrews (AUS)

The influence of soul, gospel and Karen’s Polynesian background continues to inform what she does, but the blues has come to feel more like home.

Karen has played at Woodford Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, was the audience favourite on The Voice, was chosen as Herald Sun’s Album of the Week, receiving 4 stars, and has appeared on RockWiz, the Today Show, Morning Show, Sunrise and Weekend Today.

Juzzie Smith (AUS)

A true musical virtuoso with a style that is bluesy/folk mixed into a world of its own, Juzzie Smith is a ridiculously talented one-man band, based in Byron Bay. Juzzie gives performances that are marked by an amazing ability to play guitar, harmonica and percussion at the same time using all of his body. The result is truly engaging, mesmerizing music that makes you want to move and leaves you feeling inspired. This is a show that has spread to over 200 million views on social media and placed on the top of the iTunes blues charts all around the world.

About the Brungle Memorial Hall

The Brungle Memorial Hall stands on land traditionally owned by the Wiradjuri people.

Brungle is a small village, which local lore suggests, sits along Banjo Paterson’s “The Road to Gundagai.” You will find us where “The mountain road goes up and down, from Gundagai to Tumut town.” The original Brungle Hall was built with dancing and music in mind. It was opened on 24th May 1907 with a ball. In 1926 the building was renamed Brungle Memorial Hall. The larger auditorium was built on in 1935. Another opening ball was held, this time attended by 400 people. Our hall was home to the first WWII honour board in the district and a memorial fence was erected in 1949.

The hall quickly captured the heart of our village. Host to dances, meetings, parties, weddings and wakes, it has played a part in many special occasions. More recently it has once again become a venue for concerts and markets. In 2017, the original hall had to be pulled down and was replaced with a new kitchen, supper room and toilets. The main auditorium retains the original character of the building.
