Adult friendly kids music played live on stage by real musicians? We got you!! The ABC Kids TV favourites and ARIA winners will entertain the whole family with the most wholesome live gig there is.

Funny stuff for parents, heaps of engagement for kids, the old feel young, the young feel like grown-ups and everyone meets in the middle for a rocking good time.

The Memo is where Healesville comes alive with music, film, theatre, live performances, artist showcases and cultural activities.

Located in the centre of the picturesque town, The Memo was built in 1924 after a major community campaign to raise funds for a soldier’s memorial hall.

It immediately won the hearts of locals and earned its reputation as a place of wonderful memories, magical cinema, youthful romance, debutante balls, theatre and more.

In 2012, The Memo was revitalised with a modern extension. The redesign by award winning Victorian architect Greg Burgess reflected a spirited, connected community focussed on creativity, the future and beautiful surrounds.
