Beat Mag These Idle Hands music, much like fine wine, to be imbibed and savoured within the shadowy twilight of self-reflection and contemplation BlankGC MILLY & THE MATHS SHOW Milly and the Maths Show is a family band that frolics amongst influences from various storytelling traditions, such as folk, country, indie-rock and art music. Weaving together intricate sonic textures and emotionally resonant melodies and echoing the likes of Joanna Newsom, Kate Bush, Gillian Welch, and Radiohead, the project explores themes of war & peace, intergenerational grief, solitude, love and connection. Off the back of three single releases since the end of 2025, the band is building strong momentum in the Brisbane original music scene, based on a unique approach to songwriting, and the band's focus on community building with audiences, other artists and local venues. CLARE COWLEY Clare Cowley is a song-writer originally from Allora, Queensland, based in Meanjin/Brisbane. With ‘delicately powerful vocals’, Cowley summons the spirit of folk music. Her performances feature bluesy guitar playing, smoky piano and harmonica. HAPPY MAG says, "Her songwriting holds a rare hypnotic quality, enchanting listeners with sing-along abilities evoking the likes of Norah Jones and Sarah Blasko." In 2023, produced by Dylan Jeffreys, Clare’s sophomore album, Desire Notes has been celebrated with sellout shows in intimate venues across Qld and NSW. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ipswich/these-idle-hands-with-milly-and-the-maths-show-and-clare-cowley/200029990068536 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, science-fair, art, festivals, literary-art, country-music-festivals, music-festivals, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 14 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Ipswich - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: 131 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, QLD, Australia, Queensland 4305 - **lat**: -27.61402 - **long**: 152.7594 - **full address**: 131 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, QLD, Australia, Queensland 4305 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: These Idle Hands with Milly & the Maths Show and Clare Cowley - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/7af793411a560fc0fd63b4a706fe292a73d1bd3a52977083e0576cdc934ba71f-rimg-w1069-h565-dcf3d802-gmir?v=1777257815 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is These Idle Hands with Milly & the Maths Show and Clare Cowley being held? - **A:** These Idle Hands with Milly & the Maths Show and Clare Cowley takes place on Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 22 May, 2026 at 09:00 am at 131 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, QLD, Australia, Queensland 4305. - **Q**: Who is organizing These Idle Hands with Milly & the Maths Show and Clare Cowley? - **A:** These Idle Hands with Milly & the Maths Show and Clare Cowley is organized by Banshees Bar & Artspace. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
