It's our belated 9th birthday!
We will be having our belated birthday event on
Friday, June 25th.
Due to COVID19 restrictions around socially distancing, we will be setting up the hall differently
with the acts performing unplugged
on the hall stage.
Now, let's talk about FOOD!!!
During 2021,
Danielle Greenslade will be offering
mouth-watering, homemade meals
and yummy interval treats.
All profits will go to the
international disaster aid charity -
Shelterbox.
A DELICIOUS MEAL FOR $15!
This month Danielle will be offering
a delicious home-made meal with both
vegetarian and meat options
This month's meal is:
Delicious Winter Soup - 2 varieties!
Option 1 - Spectacular creamy mushroom soup.
Option 2 - Super flavoursome
roasted red capsicum soup.
Home-made sour-dough bread will be the accompaniment for both.
Yummy intermission snacks for $5

Doors will be open earlier at 6.00pm
so join us for a yummy plate of dinner
and a fantastic 2021 Rous Unplugged.
This year we'll be continuing with our new 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 will be continuing our new
"featured artist" spot in all upcoming events.

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.

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.
