- **Event Description**: CALLING HUNTER VALLEY ALUMNI! 🎤

The Academy is presenting an Open Mic night on Thursday 26 March at Qirkz in the Hunter.  Featuring the stars of tomorrow fresh from attending The Academy, these young artists will be a very special addition to this first Qirkz open mic night. Limited to 10 acts, there are still some spots available, so get in touch if you'd like to perform.

The Academy Director, Lyn Bowtell, and General Manager, Roger Corbett (of The Bushwackers, pictured with Lucy Beveridge) will be on deck to MC the proceedings, and maybe even perform a cheeky song or two.  

Delicious pizzas available 🍕 we'll be kicking off at 7:30pm. Free show, although it will feel like one you’d pay to see!
