Abbotsford going off post-Grand Final Sunday at the Retreat

It was a huge afternoon yesterday at the mighty Retreat in Abbotsford as post-AFL Grand Final revellers sang and drank the day away. Check out the video on Facebook and Insta. That’s Reece just below belting it out as Pies fans celebrated a thrilling Grand Final win the day before. Seeya Sunday…


Jimmy from legendary local band, Sophisticated Dingo.


Pizza – knife and fork???

A moment that sparked discussion last Sunday – Pizza with knife and fork (or not…)??? Thanks to Ro for these pics. There’s also one of Brixton looking for attention during the gig (Retreat Abbotsford). @retreat_abbotsford

Seeya this Sunday!


A little sleepy, yesterday at the Retreat

Al & Rowan took some great shots yesterday at the Retreat. It was a little more subdued until half way through the 2nd set. Apparently it’d been a very big weekend for many (starting with a Thursday night AFL footy final – hot Pies). Seeya Sunday.


Spring Springs, Sunday @ Retreat Abbotsford

Ebs jamming later in the eve last Sunday @retreat_abbotsford and Lizzy totally killin’ it for Abbotsford Song to close the gig. Hey it was a nice day (first warm one for a while…). Seeya Sunday!


Massive 50th Show at The Retreat

Scenes from yesterday’s 50th show at the mighty Retreat. A raucous afternoon again. A very special thanks to Rohan for the ’50th’ celebration balloons – and again, for all the pics & video. Max splendidly rocked a few tunes and Sunset Blush jumped up for one of his greats. Thanks to everyone for another awesome Sunday! @retreat_abbotsford @maxharmanartist @ebonyjoyce @sunsetblushmusic

See you Sunday!


Daz and Al complete the Choir at Retreat

Rowdiest and most fun of Sundays, yesterday at the Retreat. Daz and Al joined us (missed those guys) all afternoon on vocals with Deano, Wayno & Kev. Great to see Leanne, Campbell & Claudia (legends). THANKS again to Rohan for the pics & vids. This Sunday coming is show number 50! (sock puppets?)


Sunday at The Retreat Abbotsford

Yesterday @retreat_abbotsford – Thanks for the pics again Rohan (official photographer). Max jumping in on a few tunes. That’s Sean at the bar who finished the show with a cappella Kenny Rogers ‘The Gambler’. And Ebony just back from 2 weeks in Bali (not so happy about Melb’s cold weather…)

Eb’s awesome Skipping Girl earrings (Abbotsford Song…)

Candice on photo shoot for the day.


Max to the Max @the Retreat Abbotsford

Max rockin out yesterday at the Retreat Abbotsford. Direct from portrait painting, she’d had enough homework for one weekend. Time to let loose on the mic (and the bar). This Sunday coming – Campbell & bagpipes might be in the house… @retreat_abbotsford

THANKS TO ROHAN (official photographer extraordinaire) for the pics & video. Legend.


Saxon Raises Roof at Retreat

Saxon jumped up on Sunday and blew us away. I’m told he’s just 19. And one of the finest guitarists I’ve heard in a long while. Total virtuoso. Didn’t wanna follow him – but someone’s gotta do it. Stoked to do the Chili Peppers ‘Under the Bridge’ together. @retreat_abbotsford


Seeya Sunday at The Retreat Abbotsford!


The Never Ending Retreat Hotel Sunday Party

Such a great arvo again. Our friend from Florida, Ayala, joined us on her last Sunday here for a while. Sandy (who took the mic at some point), Cherish and Brad rocked up – hadn’t seen em for a while. The Boogieman crew were in. And it was Shane’s Birthday Bash! Sean got up a capella (one of my favourites). And Max killed it on a bunch of tunes. Massive day. See ya Sunday!
