Our lucky last September Pop-Up!

This Sunday 29th of September is the last of our September Pop Ups, and we're closing it in style at the North Melbourne Town Hall as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival!!

The line up for  the day is awesome; we have local acts making music on the main stage, workshops for kids (and the young at heart) with Cartoon Professionals Zoonitoons, a pop up cupcake cafe, a relaxation and Reiki massage stall, and a sea of suitcases selling all sorts of trash and treasure!

There are so many wonderful events on this Fringe. Why not  hang around after the Rummage and see a show or have a drink in the Warren. "Take a chance and see something you have never heard of".

Fringe Club: All The Flavours Of The Fringe
After filling up on the freshest shows from all around the Festival, the place to digest and unwind is the Fringe Club. With music, circus, comedy, colour and a touch of magic, the Fringe Club is the place to kick up your heels and dance the night away. Featuring 12 nights of incredible talent from across the Fringe, you’ll be coming back time and time again to celebrate your Melbourne Fringe Festival experience.

The Warren: The Life of the Underground
A cozy place to call your own, The Warren is the perfect hidey-hole to relax in either before or after a Festival show. Catch up, talk shop and enjoy a White Rabbit with us in this fabulous lair under the floorboards. Find a comfy couch and settle in, or explore the nooks and crannies to discover the unique and engaging installations and performances happening throughout. Brought to you by the wonderful folks at Little Creatures.


Zoonitoons workshop:
Since 1984 Fil and Helen have worked as a team beginning with the comic Zooniverse which was published in the USA and began their career in Hollywood. Working on over 200 episodes of TV and feature animation, they set the style of characters which have entertained millions of children around the world for over 28 years.

This Sunday at Suitcase Rummage, have your child design their own original characters for only $5 per head. Sit them down, so you can wander around and have yourself a good old fashioned haggle! Recommended Ages 7+

Suitcase Rummage @ Melbourne Fringe Festival - Fringe Club















This coming Sunday, Suitcase Rummage will be hosting the last of the September Pop Ups and it's going to be a doozy. Housed at the North Melbourne Town Hall and part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival, there will be live music on the grand stage and it is with great pleasure we introduce you to our awesome local musicians....

Will Tait & Friends
Will Tait (aka Captain Tait from 8Foot Felix) steers this ship from the Rhodes, and his voices glides from Tom Waits to Vaudeville with many tasty tangents on the way. 


The Marville Family
Peter Somerville on banjo, Ewen Baker on fiddle, Jeff Arnold on bass, Fran Martin on tenor guitar, in an echoey kitchen in Thornbury.


Peny Bohan
Not a newcomer to the music scene, Peny Bohan's knack for singer-songwriting was discovered after years of playing and studying Horn. Time out due to a physical hiccup allowed Peny many hours to get creative; who knew a couple of months in a neck-brace could turn out to turn out to be a good thing!
You may stumble across her on stage telling her stories and sweetly rambling about her day.
Sit a while with her and you will learn of the affectionate and oft-times passionate way she views her world. Peny delivers sass with an outwardly sweet persona whilst hinting at the sultry, cheeky and seductive soulful singer within.

Pepperjack
Pepperjack is the solo project of indie-folk songwriter, Lauren Moore. Her music is characterised by lyrical density and honest subject matter. Despite having a full band, these songs are stripped back for the live show until they're practically naked. Pepperjack's songs feature delicate instrumentation and soft vocals, unexpectedly building to a new level as the frontwoman is practically shouting in desperation over the crashing of cymbals and haunting basslines. Dark and honest - you will find Pepperjack's new EP an intriguing listen.


Kate Ferguson
Playing a blend of country folk, 90s, pop, and alt rock tunes, I play both solo, and as part of the duo The Andrew Daddo Experience with Simon Burns.
