The Darryl Kerrigan Appreciators Ensemble Collective is a genre-defying band that channels the unpretentious genius and deep Aussie soul of The Castle’s Darryl Kerrigan through the medium of improvised groove.

Featuring Max Bruten and Arthur Xafis on guitars, Sam William Watts on bass, Alby Rolfe on drums, and Ashley Ballet on trumpet, this ensemble brings together some of Melbourne’s most exciting improvisers. Their music is loose, joyful, and fiercely present — capturing the defiantly heartfelt spirit of Darryl himself, whose faith in the simple things still rings true: the vibe, the people, the pool room.

Bring yourselves, bring your mates, bring your mum and dad - if anyone tells you they can’t make what is sure to be a remarkable night of music making:

“Tell ‘em they’re dreamin’.”

8pm till late. Entry via donation at the door.
