In Kind

inkind Helps You to Make Plans for Friendship Brisbane-based folk duo inkind are set to release their second single ‘Lets Make Plans' on the 21st June at Brisbane’s iconic Junk Bar. Through songs of life lived and lessons learned, inkind encourage us to look after ourselves and one another. A heartfelt musical collaboration by Erin & Nate; two seasoned singer-songwriters who each continue to carve their own path across the Australian music landscape (as Miss Elm and Conspiracy of One respectively), brought together by a shared love of storytelling and human connection, their songs weave together themes of compassion, empathy and growth with a wicked sense of humour. 2025 saw some big milestones with the band as they released their debut single ‘Feels Like Home’ to a sell out house concert, received acclaim for their performances at Woodford Folk Club and reached the semi-finals in Listen Up Music’s Songwriting Prize, the Australian Songwriters Association’s songwriting awards and the International Songwriting Competition. In 2026, both singles (and other songs) are to be heard in the newly released feature film ‘All My Friends Are Back in Brisbane’ the sequel to the cult classic ‘All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane’ released in 2007. The duo’s songs provide a welcome audible backdrop to key moments in the new film. ‘Let's Make Plans’, produced by Samuel Ayling (a.k.a. This New Light) in his charming sunshine coast studio drops the listener into a feeling of warm fuzzies with hopeful acoustic guitars, earthy violin & banjo and the meditative harmonies inkind are beginning to be known for. It evokes a feeling of inspired action with apologetic lyrics in the chorus such as ‘lets make plans, let’s do all the things we said’ and ‘sorry I forgot to call… my schedule’s like a waterfall’. The memorable melodies of the track remain long after listening, planting the reminder that it’s never too late to catch up with a friend. inkind will be encouraging new found fans to ‘make plans’ to connect in person at their live single launch 21st June at Brisbane’s cosy Junk Bar supported by singer-songwritier Maddison Kate. About Maddison; Brisbane-based Maddison Kate has an enchanting voice, singing the songs of old souls. She writes delicately braided lyrics that explore truths of the human experience and aims to build connection with others through her introspective Follow inkind below: https://www.instagram.com/inkindfolk https://www.facebook.com/inkindfolk Contact: inkindfolk@gmail.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@inkindfolk https://inkindfolk.bandcamp.com/track/feels-like-home

Philosophy Roundtable: Art

Philosophy Roundtable: Art

A painting that brings a person to tears. A banana worth 6.4 million dollars. A photograph ending a war. What is behind these phenomena? Please join us this Sunday to discuss the Philosophy of Art, where it comes from, what makes it powerful and why it is a universal across time and cultures. We will meet at the Captain Melville at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp. **Please note the new $5 mandatory donation entry fee** (cash or transfer on day) to help with MeetUp subscription costs, venue costs, etc. There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo, in the spirit of learning and friendly debate, so please feel free to challenge assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions challenged. This event is also posted to the Socrates Cafe group. We will explore the topic through a range of questions, including: **What is Art?** * What comes to mind when we use the word ‘Art’? What are the categories of objects or activities that you would consider to be art? * Which of these are art?: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1_1nl2_GKbGzzSbXsRRsnAZlkmNVqWPjm **Emotion** * Is art a luxury or necessity in life? Is it essential to happiness? * Why is art so effective at making us feel powerful emotions, even when we know it doesn’t represent reality? Are these ‘true’ emotions, or somehow different / simulated? * Why do we sometimes seek our art that makes us feel sad? **Objectivity** * Is there such a thing as objectively bad art? * Are there intrinsic properties that make something aesthetic (beautiful)? Are they universal? * Are there objective standards of ‘taste’? Can one person be said to have better taste than another? If so, on what basis or criteria? **Value** * What gives art its value? Why do we consider replicas differently? Is naturally occurring beauty different to art? * What compels humans towards art? Is there an evolutionary / biological explanation for the seemingly wasteful expenditure of resources on outputs that have no practical function? **Creativity** * Are only humans able to appreciate art? * Are only humans creative? * Is there such a thing as something truly new, or is every idea or expression a recombination of existing inputs into a different configuration of outputs? * Can a machine be creative? If not, what is the constraint? * Could we ever regard AI-creativity in the same way as that of a human? Hope to see you there!

Coffee & Connections: Topic Finding Art Space

Hi everyone, and welcome to our very first event!

Whether you are a full-time professional artist or an entrepreneur exploring painting like I am, this is a casual space to meet face-to-face and build our local network over a great cup of Melbourne coffee. **Here is what we’ll be doing:** * 🎨 **Show & Tell:** Bring a sketchbook, your iPad, or just pull up some photos of your work on your phone. Let's celebrate what everyone is currently creating or exploring! * 🤝 **Network & Connect:** Swap Instagram handles, share industry contacts, and find your new creative accountability buddies. * 🌍 **Main Topic - Art Residencies & Coliving:** Have you ever done an art residency? Are you dreaming of joining a creative coliving space overseas or right here in Australia? Let's share resources, research, and dreams about blending travel with our artistic practices. **What to bring:** * A piece of your art (physical or digital) or a work-in-progress to share. * Your business cards, portfolio links, or social handles. * Any info, questions, or experiences you have regarding art residencies! I can't wait to meet you all and hear about your creative journeys. RSVP so I can make sure we grab a big enough table!

MARTY ROBBINS' GUNFIGHTER BALLADS & TRAIL SONGS Performed by Henry Wagons, Emily Lubitz and The Counterfeit *SOLD OUT*

MARTY ROBBINS' GUNFIGHTER BALLADS & TRAIL SONGS Performed by Henry Wagons, Emily Lubitz and The Counterfeit *SOLD OUT*

Following two rapid sell outs at Brunswick Ballroom and Memo Music Hall, a third and final performance of Marty Robbins’ Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs has been added at Theatre Royal, Castlemaine on Sunday, June 21. Demand for the show has been immediate, with both Melbourne dates selling out within four weeks- cementing this as one of the most sought after live music events of the season. A cornerstone of American songwriting, this infamous Marty Robbins album is widely regarded as one of the great early concept records. A vivid cycle of outlaws, lawmen and frontier justice. From the drama of El Paso to the steely tension of Big Iron, it unfolds like a Western film set to music. Leading the posse is Henry Wagons, whose commanding, narrative- driven vocals bring authority and grit to these frontier tales. Emily Lubitz provides contrast and nuance, her unmistakable voice adding warmth and intimacy to the stark landscapes. Backed by members of notorious spaghetti-western ensemble The Counterfeit—renowned for their grand, cinematic interpretations of music from the western frontier—the album will be presented in full, from start to finish. This is not a greatest-hits revue, but a rare and immersive re-staging of a landmark album—and a unique opportunity for Castlemaine audiences to step inside one of the most enduring works in Western music history.
