Ash Morse - Nowhere Land
2026-08-29 19:30 - 21:30 | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
‘Ash Morse teams up with the Symphony Central Coast Orchestra and The Avoca Beach Theatre to unveil his latest mind-altering orchestral and vocal creation, Nowhere Land.’
Introduction
Ash Morse’s 2026 concept album, ‘Nowhere Land’ is a soul-baring, reality-bending, non-stop 45 minute orchestral and vocal journey that will remain with you long after the final note.
SHOW PREVIEW AVAILABLE VIA: www.ashmorsemusic.com
Lost in the Simulation: The Grandeur of Ash Morse’s ‘Nowhere Land’
In an era of disposable singles and Tiktok anthems, Ash Morse has delivered something increasingly rare: a sprawling, 45-minute orchestral odyssey that demands, and truly earns, your undivided attention. An award-winning performer and composer, his latest album is a perfect encapsulation of his talents, creating a full and wonderful world that few artists will be able to parallel.
Titled ‘Nowhere Land’, this ambitious concept album is a staggering achievement in scope, blending the theatrical weight of a West End production with the raw, soul-baring intimacy of a personal diary. In spirit, it sits comfortably alongside other bold, long-form, genre-shattering works such as Rosalía’s masterpiece, ‘Lux’ that actively resist the attention-shortening white noise of the internet through non-conformist composition, lavish human production value, and deep, existential storytelling.
Where ‘Lux’ is steeped in overt religious symbolism and devotion, ‘Nowhere Land’ diverges into more unsettling territory, exploring infinity and eternity in the absence of an interventionist creator, navigating a reality where meaning must be forged internally rather than bestowed from above.
The record follows the harrowing journey of a mind trapped inside ‘The Dream Machine’, a reality simulator that becomes a powerful metaphor for the unseen forces that bind, confound and direct our lives and the many deep struggles we face in our journey back to liberation.
It is a story of profound isolation, yet it finds its heartbeat in the universal pursuit of hope. ASA Judge Brian Henderson Ward touted it as “more complex than Bohemian Rhapsody … a huge theatre production. An outstanding vocal performance … with fabulous harmonies’ saying, ’The musicianship is genius.” It’s the kind of praise that most recordings can only dream of, and as you dig into ‘Nowhere Land’, you soon realise just how impressive it is.
Recorded across five studios with a large ensemble of live musicians, the album is the product of thousands of layers and hundreds of hours of interstate collaboration.
Rather than feeling overworked, the result is a living, breathing sonic environment that shifts effortlessly from the fragile, haunting ‘Prologue’ to the cinematic eruption of ‘Dream Machine’. The mood then pivots into ‘What Occupies A Mind’, balancing soulful intimacy with an eclectic, avant-garde edge.
Listen to Nowhere Land: www.ashmorsemusic.com
Ash’s vocal performance is the glue that binds these expansive textures together. Whether he’s whispering through the tender yearning of ‘Still Longing’ or reaching fierce, rhapsodic peaks during the album’s more aggressive movements, his voice acts as an emotional compass throughout. The production—meticulously refined across multiple studios—captures the raw energy and nuance of the live musicians with remarkable clarity, giving the album both grandeur and humanity.
As you begin to feel at home in ‘Nowhere Land’, the album has some brilliantly positioned twists and turns, cutting through and ensuring the album feels as real and ensnaring as possible. The closing moments of ‘Finale’ are perfectly curated, offering a magical moment that you simply have to hear to understand. From there, we’re met with a sense of peace and clarity, as the album’s theatrics give way to the shimmering, light-filled epilogue – ‘Remember’.
‘Nowhere Land’ is a bridge between the artist and the listener. As Ash beautifully puts it: “Though ‘Nowhere Land’ means different things to the unique lenses of our separate minds, it connects us at the most fundamental level. My hope is that it reminds you of who you truly are and shines the way back home.”
It is a triumphant, reality-bending masterwork that lingers long after the silence returns.
You can stream the new album today and buy your own limited-edition vinyl pressing via his website. For more, be sure you join Ash on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

The Music Of Lennon & McCartney - The Album Show Share
2026-08-30 13:30 - 16:00 | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
The Music of Lennon and McCartney
Lennon and McCartney. Arguably two of the most recognisable names in contemporary history. Their music and legacy will be celebrated eternally, as their music, creativity and cultural impact continues to resonate even in our modern world.
The Album Show presents ‘The Music of Lennon and McCartney’. This show is more than just another Beatles related tribute show. This show focuses on the songs they wrote – together and alone. For The Beatles, for their solo careers and for other people.
The 5 piece band of experienced ‘Beatle performers’ will tell the story of these iconic songwriters in a unique way. Separating their contributions into ‘chapters’, and comparing and contrasting their approaches across ballads, rockers, solo songs, Beatles tunes and more, we get to see and hear how similar, yet how unique these two men were, while also speaking to how close they were, and how distant they became.
With scintillating performances, evocative visuals and a compelling narative, this show promises to show yet another side of the enduring legacy of Lennon and McCartney.

EVERY BEATLES BEAT By Luke Herbert
2026-09-02 17:30 - 2026-09-25 17:00 | FunHaus Factory, 124 Donnison street, Gosford, NSW, 2250, Australia
Every Beatles Beat is a world-first, cinema-scale audiovisual installation: a sonic pilgrimage through the complete Beatles catalogue, curated by drummer and producer Luke Herbert.
Descend into the cellar-dark basement gallery & The Vault at the Fun Haus Gosford— reminiscent of The Cavern Club in Liverpool — and watch a continuous film unfurl: a filmed snippet of every Beatles studio recording in strict chronological order, lovingly reconstructed over two years. Recorded on same-era microphones and period-accurate Beatles outboard gear at Studios 301 Sydney (affiliated with Abbey Road Institute, London), the work seeks not reproduction but reincarnation — breathing new cinematic life into the sonic textures that shaped generations, seen from behind the kit through the perspective of Ringo Starr performed by session drummer Luke Herbert.
Luke has spent two decades performing and recording with artists including Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers, Brian Cadd, Stevie Wright and many more. He’s worked alongside Grammy-winning producers Niko Bolas and Daniel Tashian (Ringo Starr, Kacey Musgraves), forging a living link between his practice and the Beatles lineage. Luke love’s passing on his passion for drumming and also teaches drums lessons locally on the central coast at Music Works Erina and in over 10 schools across the coast for The Central Coast Conservatory of Music, bands programs.
The installation features rare archival photography by celebrated Australian rock photographer Phillip Morris (Paul McCartney Wings tour, 1976), original session images by Tim Brand and award winning The Filmery (Jack & Duncan Toombs), and curated original art. Woven throughout is a personal thread: four generations of Beatles fans in one family, showing how this music ties lives together across time and continents.
Every Beatles Beat is archive and artifact, pilgrimage and play — where technical devotion and intimate storytelling become one.
“From Gosford with Love” is Proudly supported by the Central Coast Council community development grants program & delivered to you by the Funhaus Factory .

Daniel Muggleton: White Here, White Now
2026-09-04 20:00 - 21:30 | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
A-List Entertainment presents
Daniel Muggleton continues to be one of Australia’s most in-demand comedians despite no media attention of any kind.
In 2025, Rolling Stone named him a ‘Must-See Show’ at Edinburgh Fringe. He spent the rest of the year selling out shows around Australia, copping critical-acclaim and seriously offending two people in Perth… but they were wearing lanyards in a social setting. So I guess they got what they came for?
Come see the man in the red tracksuit live on-stage, the way God intended, with a brand-new hour of unflinchingly honest stand-up comedy. Or if you’re packing a sloganed tote bag… probably skip it.
