Music and Entertainment

What better thing to do in Broome than laze in the tropical gardens of the Courthouse Markets to free entertainment and music on a Saturday morning?

Or on a Thursday night sit down under the stars at the magical Town Beach Night Markets to lip-smacking food, market stalls and infectious live music.

Every Saturday from May until September at the Courthouse Markets and Thursday night markets local and visiting musicians play a range of music from the balcony of the historic Cable House (Courthouse markets) or the recently purpose built stage at Town Beach for the Thursday Night and Staircase Markets.

If it’s meeting friends or entertaining the family you will be humming to the tunes of live musician at the Thursday Night and Staircase Markets.

Busking

At the Saturday and Sunday Courthouse markets we welcome buskers who can entertain the crowds.

We don’t have fixed  time slots, all we ask is you limit your time to 45 minutes and speak to the co-ordinator on the day. We’ll find you an awesome spot!

There is no cost and we’ll even give you a food voucher to spend at the food vans (to a maximum value of $15)!

Jaime Jackett

Austral-Canadian song-weaver Jaime Jackett is anything but your stereotypical ”girl + piano”.

A seasoned performer, the Broome-based artist is one part of internationally-collaborative folk-pop trio, Belle Miners, who’ve toured 6 countries in 2018, and Australia annually for 6 years.

Looping beats and bass lines, she layers harmonies to build a vocal soundscape to shape her songs. Accompanying herself on keyboards, her cleverly penned pieces glitter with hints of soul, theatre, jazz and roots.

Her performances have been noted for her vibrant presence and dynamic voice that ranges from glass-clear and sweet, to blues-drenched wails.
