about the dog...

The Loaded Dog Folk Club is Sydney's premier acoustic venue - showcasing the best acoustic music has to offer, from guitar to hurdy-gurdy, solo voice to community choir.  

The club is housed in the upstairs hall of the Annandale Neighbourhood Centre - the former Annandale Town Hall - a splendid example of a late Victorian sandstone public building with superb acoustics due to the 20-foot ceilings and wooden floor. 

The club meets on the fourth Saturday of each month, from February to November.

An evening at the Loaded Dog will usually involve a main act and a support act, plus a number of floor spots of a couple of songs each.  See the history page for a list of some of the local and international performers who have shared their music with the Dog audience.

 

For performers...

The Dog is a truly acoustic venue - no amplification is used for any act.

You won't find a better audience anywhere in Australia for concentrated interest in your material and readiness to participate - in harmony.  Performers of the stature of Jez Lowe have been powerfully moved and impressed by the response of Dog audiences.

The Dog operates on door-deals only, after costs.
We normally have a main act and a support act who share the money proportionally.  We occasionally change the format, dispensing with support acts, and present 2 or 3 acts with the door money shared evenly among them.  
The venue holds up to 100 people.
