Ticketed Entry / Band Room

Join Apolline for an evening of foot-stomping contemporary celtic tunes and emotionally immersive songs on June 9th at the Retreat! Is their album out yet? No! But did they just finish the recording part of the process? Yes! And surely that’s worth celebrating. Featuring some very special guests, to be announced closer to the date!

Apolline is a lively group of young folkies fuelled by the love of all things folk and copious cups of tea. Equipped with alluring voices, formidable tunes, and an extensive collection of colourful socks, the group views folk music with an exciting, genre-bending perspective. Their unique instrumentation of fiddle, (Luisa Hickey), cello (Tess Hickey) and double bass (Laura Heaney) is skillfully used to create highly intricate arrangements that range from energetic dance sets to hauntingly intimate songs, all of which draw in audiences from all walks of musical life.

The Retreat Hotel would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which The Retreat now stands, and pay our respects to all elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and that our venue operates on stolen land.
