Food Dock Introduces: Sunset Sessions | 16th July

Join us as we celebrate the Sounds of Summer, with bustling kitchens, clinking glasses and the incredible vocals of rising local talent.

Every Thursday evening, enjoy a ‘Sunset Session’ of live music on the Food Dock Deck.

In partnership with The Music Works, each Thursday we’ll welcome a new local artist. With soulful sets from singer-songwriter Libby, a fusion of R&B, mellow rap and poetic soul from Merce Jade, a blend of indie-folk warmth and alt-rock from Jodie-O and more local talent emerging from the region.

Free to enjoy | 7pm to 8.30pm

// On 16th July we’ll be welcoming Tan Sholto @tansholto //

South African artist tan sholto creates music like a quiet conversation with the heart — tender, reflective, and deeply human. Her songs invite listeners to pause, breathe, and remember they are never truly alone on this journey of life. Her gift for stillness through sound has reached far beyond her own story, leading to notable features, such as on the cover of Indie Go, placements on New Music Friday South Africa, and a spotlight on Folk Fresh Finds. With new singles and an EP on the way, tan continues to offer what she does best: songs that feel like light through an open window — a soft refuge in a world that moves too fast.
