Ray Beadle Live at The Bombie, Coledale RSL – A Benefit for Finding Fillmore’s Australian blues legend Ray Beadle is hitting the stage with his powerhouse trio— George Brugmans on drums and Ben Edwards on bass—for two electrifying sets to raise funds for Kiama’s beloved Finding Fillmore’s. More than just a venue, Fillmore’s is a heartspace for art, music, and community. But noise restrictions have silenced its stage—for now. All ticket proceeds go directly to helping Fillmore’s bring live music back to life.
Ray Beadle’s guitar work echoes the greats but carves out a sound that’s entirely his own: raw, soulful, and straight from the heart. With wins for Best Album, Best Song, and Best Male Artist at the Chain Blues Awards, Ray’s more than a crowd favourite—he’s a force in the Australian blues scene. From picking up a guitar at age nine to sharing stages with legends at festivals across the globe, Ray’s journey has been steeped in blues tradition. Years performing and recording with the Foreday Riders, residencies at BB King’s Club in Memphis, and a lifetime of honing his craft have shaped a performer who doesn’t just play music—he moves people with it. This isn’t just a gig—it’s a homegrown rally for rhythm, resilience, and the revival of independent live music.
