Upcoming Live Performances
Burrinja Presents
Mick Harvey & Amanda Acevedo - Live in the Lyre
A Tribute to Jackson C. Frank
Sat 7 Jun 8.00pm | Lyre Room
Mick Harvey and Amanda Acevedo’s latest release Golden Mirrors is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the enigmatic American folk singer Jackson C. Frank — a nearly forgotten voice of the mid-sixties whose influence quietly shaped a generation. Despite releasing only one album, produced by Paul Simon, Frank left a lasting legacy, with artists such as Nick Drake, Laura Marling, Sandy Denny, Mark Lanegan and Fairport Convention among his admirers.
The duo brings new life to Frank’s work with 11 evocative reinterpretations, recorded in Harvey’s North Melbourne music room and mixed by Alain Johannes across Los Angeles, Spain and Chile. The result is a collection that drips with atmosphere — brooding, intimate and deeply textured — combining Harvey’s signature dark stylings with Acevedo’s ethereal, expressive vocals.
Check out the duo's official music video for 'Golden Mirror' here.

A-List Entertainment Presents
Akmal
Sat 23 Aug 8.00pm | Burrinja Theatre
Akmal returns with a smash-hit tour after a spiritual journey to India to find himself. Unfortunately, when he got there, he couldn’t find himself anywhere. After all, India is a big place…
On his return to Australia, he was pleased to discover he had been here the entire time. This has absolutely nothing to do with his upcoming show, and he’s sorry he mentioned it.
Stand-up, movies, sketch, TV appearances, radio DJ, talk show host and a published author, Akmal is one of Australia’s most respected, successful and accomplished comics. Lightning quick and a master of unscripted comedy gold, Akmal has an incredible ability to deal with hot topics in an hilarious and slightly offensive way.
As seen on Thank God You’re Here, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Just For Laughs and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala.
'Akmal's strength is his stream-of-consciousness ramblings and his interaction with the audience.' - The Age
'Akmal is an explosion of laughter and entertainment.' - Telegraph Mirror
Doors: 7:40pm
Age suitability: Restricted 15+. Occasional coarse language. This event is not suitable for babies due to content and/or noise levels.
