Peter Foley, frustrated at the lack of quality music venues south of the river, started staging gigs at his Oakleigh home 4 years ago. Famous Australian musicians like David Bridie, Stephen Cummings, Rebecca Barnard,Lisa Miller and Dave Graney perfomed on the small stage in Peter’s lounge room. In mid 2007 Steve Carr from the Oakleigh Bowling Club approached Peter and asked him if he would be interested in presenting some larger scale gigs at the club. The monster was born. The gig was instantly popular
