This week we reported the very sad news that an Aussie live music venue with a lot of promise sadly had to close its doors, despite having only been open for a few months, however today we return with some much sunnier venue news.
A brand-spankin’ and huge bandroom, the Mort Estate Hotel, has opened its doors in the inner Queensland town of Toowoomba, promising to bring some big names to the renown Flower Carnival town, as The Music Network reports.

Boasting of a massive 600-person capacity, the new room will not only play a pivotal role in fostering up-and-coming talent of the north, but will also be a major attraction and potential additional pitstop for a myriad of larger artists embarking on national tours of Australia, being only an hour and-a-half drive away from Brisbane.
To celebrate the arrival of this fresh home of live music, the Mort Estate Hotel are hosting a killer event this Saturday 16, the launch party of First Coat Street & Art Music Festival which will see the likes of adored group Regurgitator perform, not to mention rising acts including L-Fresh The Lion and Desmond Cheese.
The large capacity venue holds exciting potential in two ways, the town of Toowoomba will be surely see a whole lot more brilliant live music sing from its streets, whilst bands touring Australia will have another important place to perform.
The year 2015 has had it’s ups and downs in terms of opening and closing of live music venues. In very recent times, Australia has seen an additional two homes of live tunes swing-open their doors, one outside the lock-out zone in Sydney, the other a New York jazz hole inspired joint in the coastal city of Geelong.
