Join us for a fun night of live music celebrating the classic sounds of the 1970s and 1980s, while helping raise funds for a very worthwhile community initiative.

This special event features live performances from Aurora Skies and Tea Time Houdinis, bringing together a lively mix of well-known retro favourites from two of music’s most iconic decades. Expect a night filled with great songs, a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of nostalgic energy.

The evening is a charity fundraiser supporting St Vincent de Paul’s “Dining With Friends” program, an initiative run by dedicated volunteers that provides free, healthy hot meals for Hobart’s homeless and people experiencing hardship. The program creates a friendly, non-judgmental environment where members of the community can gather to share a meal and conversation at Mathers Hall in Bathurst Street.

Guests are encouraged to join in the fun by dressing in their favourite 70s or 80s outfits, making it a colourful and entertaining evening for everyone attending.

The event will be held in The Founders Room at Salamanca Arts Centre, one of Hobart’s most vibrant and welcoming live music spaces. Bar facilities will be available throughout the night.

Come along for an enjoyable evening of classic music, community spirit and retro fun, while helping support a program that makes a real difference in the lives of people doing it tough in Hobart.
