Lubber Kitchen Gig - Field Commander Ali and Jordan Ireland

Our series of Lubber Kitchen gigs continues with a very special edition, featuring two Australian artists in Field Commander Ali and Jordan Ireland.

You can purchase a ticket to catch the music or you can get one with added food, for a perfect low stakes evening. Usually these are on a Sunday, but we are trialling out this one a Tuesday night so we can bring you these two brilliant acts!

A bold and singular artist, Field Commander Ali writes songs that act like open windows. Through her musical lens, the world is felt and observed with incisive lucidity.

Her new record, The Next From Field Commander, and second under that taken name, was recorded at home on the South Coast of NSW, Australia. Despite the modest conception of her songs and recordings, often utilising little more than a classical guitar and 4-track tape recorder, they are possessed by a unique density. Her songs call in the spirit of folk song clairvoyants like Bridget St John, Anne Briggs and Maxine Funke while retaining an unabashed intimacy and fidelity to her beguiling vantage.

The Next From Field Commander is out on the 6th of March 2026 through World Of Echo and Brierfield Flood Press.

Jordan Lee Ireland ( ex The Middle East, Purple Orchestra, Stolen Violin & Blue Divers) is a multi-disciplinary musician from Australia’s tropical north. Weaving deep astral folk song with outsider spiritual jazz and vivid improvisation to create trance like states, exploring the mystery of existence and communing with the heart.
