THURSDAY NIGHT: TUPENNY OPERA 🎶

Something a little different is coming to Barnaby’s this Thursday.

Tupenny Opera are Dave Weir, Maya Sapir and Thomas Jonneskindt, bringing passionate vocals, soaring guitars, explosive bass and drums together in music that refuses to sit neatly in one box.

Their sound moves through inventive pop, prog rock and psychedelic influences, with darkly poetic songwriting that travels from the romantic to the political and plenty in between.

Having performed for audiences from Australia to Europe, the Middle East and America, this Thursday they land at Barnaby’s.

And there’s more: The Swells will be supporting. ⚡

📅 Thursday 27th August
⏰ 7–9pm
📍 Barnaby’s Lounge, Hastings

Come curious. Leave with a new band on your radar.
