Hey,

what's on?

SCALA wishes to congratulate the most celebrated entries for FOOM 2020!

​

Thank you to everyone who entered this year's festival - what an extremely talented group of songwriters, composers and lyricists.

​

We are very thankful for Patrick Stapleton and Steven Hughes who live-streamed the Heats and Grand Final this year as we had a restricted live audience limit.

​

So in case you missed it or want to watch it again, you can catch the livestream of the Grand Final evening below!

Imagine incredible wines, boutique beers, odd whisky and (mostly acoustic) live original music that sounds superb!

Experience SCALA LIVE AT THE WHEATY,

an intimate evening of the best new talent around. 

Celebrate our local songwriters
as well as exclusive performances from international talents. 

You can't get closer to the music than this.

​

THE SONG KITCHEN is where you can go for creative, supportive help to get unstuck, to spice up your work, or to add that finishing touch to your song.

​

The SONG KITCHEN is about YOUR songs and YOUR song writing in the most practical way.

Pop in, the soup is on! 

OPEN MIC NIGHTS are where you can showcase your original music.

​

It is also a great place to meet with other local songwriters.
