Patsy Cline meets Flaco Jimenez in this south of the border flavoured take on a relationship breakdown.
“Her honest heartfelt songs convict her of the heinous crime of being a fine writer, observer and teller of tales. She is a woman who demands we listen and then delivers.”

TRACEY BUNN (NT) 'ANOTHER BROKEN JULIET' ALBUM LAUNCH + MARK LUCAS (DOUBLE BILL)
— —
Butchers Brew, 499 Marrickville Road NSW 2203 Australia , Dulwich Hill NSW 2203 Australia
Tracey Bunn joins forces with Sydney songwriter Mark Lucas for an intimate afternoon of songs and stories, to launch her new album Another Broken Juliet with her Sydney fans. She'll be joined by Ingrid Wangel on fiddle.
MARK LUCAS gigs his vast alt. country/ folky back catalogue around Sydney (& occasionally beyond), solo & with varied line-ups of his band of 20 plus years, The Dead Setters. He released two new albums in 2024 “Onward Into the Fog” (Dead Setters) plus the more acoustic “Magnetic West” (with his “Rainy Day Friends”).
“I'd place Mark Lucas in the same category where you find the late Townes Van Zandt and John Prine, or Robert Earl Keen: handsome, easy-to-the-ear melodies, beautiful, pure, at times bitter and sardonic lyrics, and a number of songs which you could immediately catalogue as "gets stuck in your head.” Dani Heyvaert, Rootstime.be (Belgium)

Tracey Bunn returns to the Lomond with her brand new self-produced album Another Broken Juliet in a double Bill with the Queen of the Bellarine – Sarah Carroll.
Sarah Carroll is an individual who simply oozes musicality: a gorgeous, soulful singer, a beautiful instrumentalist, and someone who has an intrinsic understanding of all manner of roots music. Her songs chime with sincerity and deal largely with her experiences as a teacher, mother, wife, political animal and touring musician.
In addition to her solo work, Sarah is known for her contribution to bands such as GIT, The Pirates Of Beer, Soft Gold, The Left Wing, Tin Stars and The Junes, her work with her late husband, the legendary harmonica player and singer-songwriter Chris Wilson and their sons, the acclaimed singer/songwriters Fenn Wilson and George Carroll Wilson, as well as her decades of broadcasting and music writing experience.

For aspiring songwriters and anyone who loves words and music, Wild Women in Song presents three Territory songwriters, established and emerging, performing a collection of diverse individual stories woven into one musical narrative.
Last year as part of National Trust NT's Louvred Lounge series I presented a sold out show of Wild Women in Song with Leah Flanagan, Gypsy Schmidt and Jayna McCallum at beautiful Audit House. I am excited to bring you another installment of Wild Women in Song at Audit House this September featuring myself, Sally Balfour and Prayer Corby.
For those of you unfamiliar with these incredible artists here's a bit more info:
SALLY BALFOUR
As the daughter of Central Australian folk music royalty (Scott Balfour of 70’s folk group Bloodwood), it is little wonder Sally Balfour has found her way to the stage as a singer-songwriter. While the isolation and extremes of the NT loom large in her songwriting, Sally's music connects on an individual level. Through Sally’s deeply personal, acoustic guitar driven songs you're taken on the journey of one woman's life in Australia's outback. "Sally Balfour's voice has a resonance that just draws you in and keeps you captivated. Balfour is that special breed of folk singer who is able to entrance an audience with just a guitar and her beautiful voice” - Timber and Steel
PRAYER
21 year old singer-songwriter Prayer Corby grew up watching her dad play throughout the music scene in Darwin and has spent many years singing with him at family gatherings and gigs. After landing a scholarship with The Academy of Country Music, Prayer is stepping out on her own. Prayer has spent the last few years honing her skills singing BV's for acts such as David Spry, Constantina Bush and Shellie Morris, giving her the opportunity to perform on main stages at Garma Festival, Darwin Festival and Tamworth Country Music Festival, and has performed her own songs at Bassinthegrass and Seabreeze Festival.
