Voices Unleashed - Unplugged Open Mic

​WHAT IS VU UNPLUGGED?
​To say 'Unplugged' is an open mic is to say a tomato is a fruit. It's a night of art and a whole lot more. This evening will be the first in Perth, and the first in Australia. A new chapter launching by one of our co-founders, Nicole de Malmanche.

Unplugged is one of the longest running open mics in Bali with 104 editions behind it & chapters running in Amsterdam, Brooklyn, and Santo Domingo. It is an open mic more about 'opening' hearts than performance.

Expect poetry, music, storytelling, comedy, dance and live art to cycle through these nights.

Unplugged is a safe space to connect with wildly amazing humans and artists.

And by the end of the evening you'll leave with a touch of magic, love, vulnerability, and a real sense of belonging with people who are cool in their craft and heartwarming at the same time.

​Unplugged is just that- completely unplugged. Artists will share in an intimate space without a microphone, creating intimacy and connection.

​CLOSING ACT

Georgina Dacheff is an indie-folk singer-songwriter from Perth, Western Australia, who weaves personal experiences into relatable songs that explore love, healing and self-discovery. A 2026 WAM Song of the Year nominee for ARMOUR, her music pairs intimate storytelling with warm acoustic textures and a voice that carries both strength and vulnerability. Georgina performs both solo and with her trio (featuring violin and bass) throughout WA and supporting artists including Hein Cooper, The Dreggs and Jack Botts, as she continues to establish herself as a compelling voice in Australia's contemporary indie-folk landscape.

Enjoy an intimate, acoustic hometown concert by Freo's own singer-songwriter Saritah at the favourite new local Sans Zero Bar - an alcohol free bar and lounge by The Neighbourhood Sauna on South Terrace.

Stripped back to acoustic guitar and vocals, and joined on harmonies by Anita Emor, this is a one-off concert, and Saritah's first hometown show since releasing her recent self-produced single GIVE LOVE, and touring it in the US.

Grab a tea or elixir, pull up a couch or cushion, and sit back and be serenaded by songs to lift your heart and soothe your spirit.

Born in Seoul and raised on Noongar country in Boorloo/Perth, Saritah is a singer-songwriter devoted to the transformative power of song.

Blending reggae rhythms with acoustic soul and conscious lyrics, her music is an offering of love, hope, and healing to a world that needs it.

With a voice described as “sunlight on calm water” (Hype Hub Magazine), her live performances invite audiences into an uplifting, heart-opening experience of connection, presence, and joy.

A seasoned performer across Australian and international stages, she has graced some of the world’s most loved musical gatherings including:

Glastonbury (UK), Rototom Sunsplash (Spain), Reggae Sun Ska (France), Cali Roots (USA), Sierra Nevada World Music Festival (USA), Afrika Tage (Austria), Woodford Folk Festival (Australia), Electric Forest (USA), High Sierra Music Festival (USA), Jarasum International Jazz Festival (South Korea), Mosaic Festival (Singapore), Bali Spirit Festival (Indonesia), Bielawa Reggae (Poland), Greenroom Festival (Japan), and many more.

She is an alumni of the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation Artist In Residency program (2023) in Taos, New Mexico, USA.

Saritah's live and recorded music is universally appealing, especially as humanity collectively faces both increasing crises and opportunity for building a better world.

“A soulful and joyous triumph. I can hear the sun shining through my speakers”

Sapphic Singles at SANS Bar

Dating within the community should feel safe, clear, and deeply intentional. If you are tired of the digital swiping cycle and crave genuine connection in the real world, this evening is designed specifically for you.

Sapphic Soul Sisters are bringing WLW and non-binary people together for a beautifully structured evening that removes the guesswork from dating, allowing you to connect without the pressure or the awkward vulnerability.

Held in a safe, softly lit sanctuary designed to soothe your nervous system, this night is all about warm conversations, stories shared by the fire, and a premium drink in hand that just happens to be 0% alcohol.

The Experience

• Guided connections: Experience facilitated, structured, low-pressure mini-dates so you can skip the small talk and ease right into meaningful conversation.

• Zero-guesswork connection card: At the end of each connection, you'll use a discreet matching system to quietly indicate your interest, whether you're looking for romance, friendship, or simply passing on a connection.

• Post-event matching: Within 48 hours of the event, your host will privately share contact details for your mutual matches. If they felt a spark, you’ll know for certain.

Who's the event for

If you're a woman or non-binary person, or if you simply identify as sapphic, lesbian, queer, trans, or anywhere on the fluid spectrum, this is your welcoming, zero-judgment sanctuary to meet other sapphic singles.

Spaces are strictly limited to 30 guests to maintain an intimate atmosphere. Reserve your ticket below.
