Fleabag -
2025-05-04 13:00 - 14:30 (Australia/Sydney) | Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, 105 William Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
Live On ScreenWritten and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to cinemas to the big screen this summer. Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.

The Spooky Men’s Chorale is a magnificent, many-headed beast that has revolutionised the world of men’s singing. Bypassing well trodden avenues, they carve out new territories of mighty sounds, exquisite tenderness, and charming stupidity to both celebrate masculinity andmock it.

The show evokes musical worlds far beyond that suggested by their unassuming, casually hatted, black-clad appearance. They are just a bunch of blokes, but where they take you will blow your mind

Author Talk - Matt Murphy
2025-05-14 14:00 - 15:30 | Bathurst Library, 70 -78 Keppel Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
Bookings essential: 6333 6281
Copies of the book will be for sale on the day.
Join author Matt Murphy for a deep dive into the true history behind the discovery of gold in Australia in his new book Gold.
About the book
Ask Google ‘who discovered gold in Australia?’ and you’ll promptly get ‘Edward Hammond Hargraves’. For decades Hargraves has received fame, fortune and adulation from all corners of the country, but did he earn it?
What about the two diggers he met on the Californian goldfields who told him where to look when he returned to Australia?
What about the guys who led him to where they’d heard gold had been found before?
What about the pioneers whose discoveries had been documented years earlier?
Gold is the story of an oversized layabout who received years of accolades and free lunches, despite lumbering from one embarrassment to the next, and of those who spent decades trying to expose him and seek their share of the glory.
About the author
As a school student, Matt Murphy failed English and couldn’t see the point of history. He became a firie and has been serving in Sydney’s inner city for 33 years. He is now also a part-time historian and teacher, tolerating the attitudes of kids towards history that he used to share.
He has written three books: Weight of Evidence, about what was the longest civil court case in New South Wales; Rum, about the formative influence of grog on the country; and Gold.
Matt’s younger self would be aghast that he is now writing history books but be consoled by the absurdist voice old Matt has achieved. Matt also can’t believe he has to write his own bio.

Ella Hooper - Live
2025-05-16 18:00 - 22:00 | Little Alberts – The Victoria Hotel, 3 Keppel Street, Bathurst, 2795
The Victoria Bathurst is proud to present Ella Hooper Live in Little AlbertsElla Hooper 8 pm

Ella Hooper burst onto the Australian music scene in the late 90’s as the technicolour teen front woman of Killing Heidi, a band who went on to explode the naughties, claiming pop rock dominion over the turn of the millenium. She scored her first number one single and released the fastest selling Australian album of all time in the year 2000. Ella was the first ever woman and youngest person to be awarded APRA’s Songwriter of the Year Award.

After spending her ‘uni years’ touring the world in a wildly successful rock band, she embarked on the first of a series of unexpected sidequests, putting the band on extended haitus and pivoting to media, hosting multiple TV and radio shows, including ABC’s beloved music trivia show Spicks And Specks, making her more than just a pop singer in her native Aus.

2010 saw Hooper return to music under the moniker ‘The Verses’, showcasing her love of Americana and classic West Coast harmonies. Produced by music legend Mitchell Froome, it caught the ear of Fleetwood Mac and scored her the support slot on their 9 date Australian tour. Inspired by a conversation with Stevie Nicks, Ella made her first official solo record in 2013 – the darkly energetic ‘In Tongues’ and now has three full length solo releases to her name, traversing synth pop to dream folk and her most recent, exploring the Americana genre once again, Small Town Temple.

Written in her hometown of Violet Town Victoria, in a period where both of her beloved parents tragically passed away from cancer within two weeks of each other, Small Town Temple has been widely praised for its deeply personal songwriting and its unique ‘Australiana’ perspective. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Australian Country chart, number 7 vinyl sales and was nominated for the prestigious Australian Music Prize. Firmly in her country era and carrying enough highs and lows to really do the genre justice, Ella is now collaborating with Grammy Award winning stalwarts like Jim Lauderdale, Steve Poltz and Melody Walker on the next record. Recorded in Nashville TN, it’s set to be heavier on the twang, more immediate in tone, rich in stories from the past few years of chaos, but as always – full of heart and enthusiasm.
