Welcome to Rous Unplugged!
Total Donated as of October 25, 2019 ... $25,663.34.
PLEASE NOTE:
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE,
OUR PHYSICAL ROUS UNPLUGGED EVENTS ARE
CANCELLED DUE TO COVID19.
In the interests of public health and safety,
we are unable run this month's Rous Unplugged event.
AT ROUS UNPLUGGED,
WE WISH EVERYONE THE VERY BEST OF HEALTH AND SAFETY
DURING THESE CHALLENGING TIMES.
UPDATE:
Life is beginning to look
a bit more normal again ...
but, while it's looking promising ...
we have to hold off a bit longer before recommencing our
monthly live events ...
At the moment,
we're only permitted 20 people
in the hall at the one time ...
sadly, this is not sufficient for
Rous Unplugged to operate.
As soon as it's feasible for us
to run our monthly events,
we'll let you know!
Watch this space!
ON OUR RETURN,
WE PLAN TO BE OFFERING
MOUTH-WATERING, HOME MADE, SLOW-COOKED SOUTH AMERICAN CHILLI GOODNESS
- WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS!
(Both plant-based and cow options available.)
A DELICIOUS MEAL FOR $15!
Doors will be open earlier at 6.00pm
so join us for a yummy plate of dinner
and a fantastic Rous Unplugged.
This year we'll be trying a slightly different format.
Each month we'll be having four 15-minute spots in the first half, followed by a half hour interval. The second half will then kick off with our featured artist followed by another three artists.
Our aim is to provide continuity for our program and to try to finish by around 9.30pm.
We are also looking into the possibility of finding a mobile food vendor to sell yummy food at future events. If you know of anyone who might be interested to arrive at around 6.00pm and sell food to the Rous Unplugged audience, could you please contact
Simon on 0401 022 927
We will be continuing our new
"featured artist" spot in all upcoming events.
Next month's featured artist is:
?
Doors open 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start!

Rous Unplugged - A Truly Magical Entertainment Experience!
An appreciative audience!
Rous Unplugged is a monthly unplugged event in Rous Mill, near Alstonville, in Northern N.S.W., Australia. It features talented musicians, poets, dancers, comedians and other performance artists from both nearby and afar.
The idea behind Rous Unplugged was the creation of a local community event where our performers, both new and experienced, could bring their particular gifts to the acoustic stage and hone their skills whilst providing an excellent, high quality entertainment experience for the audience.

True to its name, Rous Unplugged is a completely unplugged event and the acoustics of the beautiful Rous Mill Hall bring their magic to this special evening and provide an awesome venue with great sound.
Rous Unplugged is held on the last Friday of each month, starting at 7.00pm sharp. Doors open at 6.30pm. We are trying to make Rous Unplugged as accessible to all as possible, and therefore we charge a very low entry fee of $3.00 per person, whether performing or not.

Performers can now apply for a 12 minute spot in upcoming Rous Unplugged events. Simply click on the Performers tab, then enter and submit your details and we'll be in touch shortly to confirm your spot on the next Rous Unplugged performers list.

Rous Unplugged is a non-profit venture and all profits are donated to the New Alstonville Preschool - which is in the process of being designed and built in Alstonville to service the future preschoolers of Alstonville. To date Rous Unplugged has donated $7071 to the New Alstonville Preschool.
During the interval, a wide range of teas, coffee, chai, biscuits and cakes, etc. are available, courtesy of the parents and staff from the New Alstonville Preschool committee and a further donation is encouraged - but not required. It's a great opportunity to meet some old friends and make some new ones.
