Lucie Thorne & Hamish Stuart, Suzannah Espie & Ash Bell

27/27/2026

Merri Creek Tavern, Friday 2nd October 2026

For some reason I thought this was doors at 8pm, turned out to be doors at 8.30pm but in reality, later than that. Always ends up a bunch of people waiting to barge in. Chill out! Also, people not respecting bags on seats now and jibber jabbering when Suzannah was on. Quiet fool!

The main purpose of this gig was for a birthday gig for Lucie Thorne who I had not seen for quite a while! Were some in-jokes during the show that even I did not know about as there were also some people who had known Lucie Thorne since they were a small person.

Not sure what the joke was for Ash Bell complaining about how good Suzannah was? Some in-joke that was lost on me. I got squashed up the front for the second set when someone decided to squash in on the bench seat.

Was still a good gig and I am confused to how long that fish and chip shop is actually open for? It seems to be open really late? I always seem to drink a lot more than usual when I am at the venue as they don't charge as much. Having dinner in the city put a cap on that for once as I had to pay for dinner.

Supposedly from this gig Suzannah said she is not really going to be playing solo that much? I had not heard of that? I do know she is doing a gig in March 2027 at a library.

Good to go out somewhere on a Friday and not be home too late as I had Ella Hooper the next day.
