Eudlo Hall, QLD, Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi Country
Eudlo Hall stands on the traditional lands of the Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi People.
Eudlo’s beautiful hall is the third iteration of this historic institution, built by volunteers in the 1950’s from timber milled at Olsen’s sawmill. In the heart of old logging country, Eudlo farmers regularly collected trophies at the Ekka for their artistic displays of locally grown fruit including pineapples, strawberries and bananas. In more recent years, Eudlo’s Hall has become known for hosting an regular stream of music and arts events supported by passionate volunteers who pride themselves on the quality of their baking!
Eudlo is a small village with a big heart which gathers locals and visitors alike around a compact centre which includes two local cafes, tennis club, train station, parks, school and rural fire brigade plus a community hall and recreation grounds. Eudlo Hall has come a long way from the first hall built in 1895 and now boasts an electric car charging station for public use.
Festival of Small Halls rolls into Eudlo on Sunday, 24 May 2026 with
Barleyshakes Duo and Old Man Luedecke (CAN).
Opening the show will be Louise King!

Louise King is an award-winning, internationally trained Australian cellist, artistic director and creative producer based on Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) Country, Sunshine Coast. An independent crossover artist, her creative practice moves between folk, classical, improvisation, chamber music, ambient soundscapes and experimental loop-based performance, transforming the cello into an instrument of sonic exploration. Her original music blends soaring melodies, layered loops, and improvisation drawing inspiration from landscape, memory, ritual and the natural world.
After performing throughout the UK, Europe and Asia with ensembles including the BBC Philharmonic and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Louise made Australia home in 2003 and has since become a vibrant force in regional arts and festival direction, focusing on audience development for small hall concerts and non-traditional concert venues. As a session musician, she has worked with artists such as Katie Noonan, Kate Miller-Heidke, Sara MacLiver, Ziggy Alberts, William Barton and Fred Leone, and has appeared at festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, Queensland Music Festival, Brisbane Festival, Stradbroke Chamber Music Festival, Bangalow Festival, Noosa Alive! and Bleach Festival.
