There are few things as synonymous with Lefty’s then a great night and a Whisky Apple. In episode 6 of Building The Scene we get to dive into the history of the iconic Brisbane venue Lefty’s Old Time Music Hall. From the bustle of the bar to the roaring of the crowd, hear first-hand accounts on these shared experiences . Explore how Baroona Hall was transformed into The Velvet Cigar and took on its new look at Lefty’s.

Hear about the rise and the fall, the debt and the closure, and the memories made between on the final episode of Building The Scene: Baroona Hall.

Woven into the fabric of Brisbane’s history is a very visible, yet crucially unrecognised part of our social culture. Where great names have been built on stages, city streets and town halls… the history of the walls which held these grand events are often left unspoken.

Building The Scene is an episodic podcast that looks to shine a light on the history of some of Brisbane’s most iconic, unknown and revolutionary nightlife venues. Each part of the story diving into facets of culture relayed from first hand accounts and extrapolated by industry specialists.

Built by a team of passionate researchers, audio engineers, and radio personalities, Building The Scene contains stories ranging from incredible changes and progression in Brisbane’s society down to the seedy underbelly of the city.
