Rising in the east
Published: April 3, 2024
It’s not new, but it has been restarted, renamed and running along quite nicely.
CLUBHideaway — using the premises of the Magill Club (6 Uren St, Magill) has opened its doors for musicians and performers and for anyone who likes good music in a decent venue. Oh… and reasonable drink prices!
CLUBHideaway, according to its promoter, Rob Scott, has two main objectives: One is to bring new members to the McGill club in order to achieve the other aim which is to create a member-driven club for musicians and performers; a place where they can congregate and create a hotspot for South Australian music in the eastern suburbs.
The intention, Rob says, is to help all performers and associated acts to have a welcoming and supportive environment in a well-maintained and appropriately equipped venue. Can’t knock that!
Having enjoyed an evening of music (and beer) at CLUBHideaway, I suggest that it is a welcome alternative to the few clubs in the city — and the long-running good club in the far western suburbs — where one can go to hear good musicians and good music.
They charge at the door between 10 and 20 bucks — which is pretty fair these days — and the venue has room for 100 or more, a decent stage and quite reasonable performance gear. Anyway, as far as I’m concerned, it’s good to have a venue in the east that hasn’t succumbed to the allure of the tribute act. So far!!!
CLUBHideway operates Saturdays and has recently opened up Wednesdays as an acoustic/whatever gig. So there you have it. Look it up: CLUBHideaway (one word), 6 Uren Street McGill and it’s on Facebook.

Oh, and the Nuts will be there this Saturday with An Acoustic Scandal warming up the mics. Cover charge will apply… to you, you fukkers!
