Inspired by the Bands & Solo artists
The Vibe
3 singers. 1 MC. One packed room. And the R&B songs you forgot you knew every word to. 🎤🥃
No stage. No back row. The singers move right through the crowd — from table to table, up close and personal.
Drinks flowing. Lunch on the tables. Golden afternoon light. Old-school R&B, live and right in the middle of it all.
You had to be there. So be there.
No stage, no back row. Voices that move through the room — close enough that you feel the note before you hear it.
Live Old School R&B, sung up close and backed by 2 amazing musicians. Loose, full-hearted, and the way it's meant to be heard.
Drinks in hand and sun through the windows turning gold as the afternoon rolls on. Carlton's sunniest room.
Birthdays, reunions, or just because. Bring your people — see The Village for the birthday on us.
The Lineup
Live Liquid Sessions presents
A featured set from the project bringing Old School R&B back to the room, the way it's meant to be heard — live, close, no autotune in sight.
Featuring: Special guest — To be announced
One Sitting Only
🌇 The Golden Hour Session
4:00 – 6:00pm
One room, one sitting, everybody in together. The light drops low, the room warms up, and Saturday winds down the way it should — no stage, no back row, singers moving right through the tables.
Tickets
Every seat is gone. Standing is the last way in — and it’s roaming, so the singers come to you. No stage, no back row, glass of sparkling on arrival.
Booking for a birthday? Nine seats, pay for eight — plus The Birthday Bottle ↓
Drinks by Lankan Tucker · 18+ only · Seated sold out · standing tickets are the last way in.
Birthdays & Celebrations
And the whole room singing.
The signature moment
Presented by Calabria Wines
Your name. Your bottle. Your moment.
A personalised bottle of Belena waits on your table with your name printed on the label — then the band stops and sings for you.
Turning a year older? Celebrating your hens? Book The Village and bring eight people — nine seats, pay for eight. Yours is free.
The name to print on your bottle, and the song you want sung. We take care of the rest.
One order, nine Village seats. Your crew seated together, a cocktail on arrival and a shot to kick things off.
$88 — your seat — comes off automatically at checkout. Nothing to claim, nothing to chase. Bigger group? One free seat per booking.

Drinks are available on the day at Lankan Tucker, your hosts for the afternoon.

Carlton's sunniest room — and the kitchen that makes it feel like home.
The Buzz
Ahead of the first edition — the anticipation is real.
"Counting down already. I've seen Joshua and the crew a few times now and they bring the room together every single time — can't wait for this one."
"A whole Saturday of live Old School R&B up close? Tickets booked, friends rallied. This is exactly the kind of afternoon I've been waiting for."
"Booked The Village for my birthday and started sharing my code the same day. If the room sings me a song I might not recover. So ready."
Good to know
Seated tickets get a guaranteed seat and a welcome drink — seating is general, so arrive early for the best spot. Standing puts you right in the middle of it all, no bad view.
The Golden Hour sitting, 4–6pm, doors at 3:50. One sitting only — everybody's in the room together. The light drops low, the room warms up, and Saturday winds down right.
Live old-school R&B — slow jams, R&B classics, New Jack Swing — from The Men of R&B Project, hosted by MC Simba.
Yes — every ticket includes a complimentary drink on arrival: a spritz with Seated, a glass of sparkling with Standing. The bar stays open all afternoon, with drinks by Lankan Tucker.
