UTS final year communications student Maggy Lee is keen to hear from people with knowledge of Annandale’s two popular live music venues The Annandale Hotel and The Empire.

Maggy is undertaking

“a socio-cultural research-based task documenting the music scene of Annandale. For example, the history of the venues in the area, past events significant periods in the live music scene in Annandale etc. 

The information gathered from the research will be presented in the form of visuals, sound files, writing/blogs. This presentation will be in blog form initially; and then in the future, could become an exhibit displayed at Leichhardt Library or a similar venue”

You can contact Maggy through the Local History team at Leichhardt Library on 9367 9335 or
