BTN, Mount Barker (2025)

23/12/2025

As many people have asked - here are some more details for the Garden and Celebration (exact date still TBC).

Music in the Valley — A Celebration of Life
This is something I’m sharing gently, and with love.

Late January (tentatively the Sunday of the Australia Day weekend), I’m hoping to hold a celebration of his life here — one shaped by the things he loved most: gardens, people, music, laughter, and the quiet magic of shared moments.

Nothing is locked in yet. I want to make sure this works for the musicians first — because music was always at the heart of us.

For those who knew him, there will be space earlier in the day to come, pay your respects, and plant something in the gardens. Creating beauty where there has been loss feels right.

If you can’t make it in person, something will also be set up through the nursery where he loved to be — barista, regular, character, friend — so you can still be part of his living memorial. Details for the nursery are in the images, just chat with the amazing Robyn there.

Afterwards, the day will shift into what we always dreamed of.

A twilight picnic with fairy lights and love.
Music across the valley.
Echoes of joy, laughter, and songs drifting over the water.

There will hopefully be bbqs and maybe some food and coffee vans.

There will be room for you to set up tents, make yourselves comfortable and enjoy this place we've worked so hard on.

Òur dream of Music in the Valley was never meant to be just a festival — it was about celebrating life, creativity, and connection. That’s how I want to farewell him.

So it will be a small festival. A celebration.

This part of the day will be open to music lovers, friends, and anyone who simply wants to come and celebrate life together.

If you want to contribute towards the festival in any way - join the fb group and let's make this a celebration of life.

🎶 Musicians:
If you’d like to be involved — solo, band, any genre — please reach out. We celebrate all music. That was our passion.

🎧 Artists who can’t attend but want to contribute:

All these posts about how great a song is for CPR - it's all bull.

The reality of the moment, you don't remember a song, any song, you don't have time to put on music. If your lucky you have the medics on the phone.

And you count through the fear and the pain. 30 pumps, 2 breaths and start again.

Repeate.

I don't know how many times I did that, I know it was over 30 minutes. I know our friend helped step in a few times, but once I found my rhythem- I was going to give my love everything I had.

I didn't stop until the medics took over. I helped carry him into the van.

And it wasn't enough.
Apparently it was never going to be enough.

That's not always the case.

Don't get caught up in phases to remember this - learn your basic CPR. Because when it comes down to it, you won't remember a song, but counting is possible.

As many of you know, I’m slowly learning how to say goodbye to my partner of 24 years 🤍

He loved this property deeply and had so many dreams for what it could become.

One of the biggest was simple and beautiful — Music in the Valley.

I’m hoping to hold his farewell early in the new year, here on the farm in Mount Barker WA, and if there’s one part of his dream (aside from the gardens) that I can honour, it’s this.

If you’re a musician and feel able to join us — to share a song, a moment, or some sound in the open air — I know he would have loved that more than anything.

Maybe this is how something new begins.
Music in the Valley.

Perhaps even an annual gathering.
No pressure. Just music, nature, and connection. 🎶

send us a DM if you would be up for joining us and sharing some music💙

BTN is going to be quiet for a little while.

Not because the music has stopped — but because life has shifted in a way I never imagined.

Monday my partner and love of my life for nearly 24 years suddenly passed away.

We always dreamed of BTN becoming something, he's helped the whole way.

We always dreamed of turning this place into a magical garden.

Somewhere to heal. Somewhere to share. Somewhere music could live.

A jetty on the water.

A recording space by the lake for musicians passing through.

Animals. Horses. Life moving gently around us.

These dreams were never meant to be carried alone. But for now, I’ll do my best to keep them breathing.

Right now, stepping outside is hard. Looking out the window is hard. Grief has a way of sitting in places you don’t expect — and I need a little time to sit with it.
We talked, once, about what we’d want if one of us left first. He was clear — no farewells shaped by hurt or old belief systems that never loved him.

He belonged to the universe. Not quite pagan, not quite witch — just wholly, casually himself.

His first idea involved a wood mulcher… which I’m still fairly sure isn’t allowed 😅

So instead, we chose the gardens.
And the music.

When the time is right — and I’ll give plenty of notice — I want to invite those who knew him, who loved him, and those he would’ve welcomed here, to help turn this place into what he imagined.

Bring a plant. Create something living from the loss. Something I can look out at and feel love.

We’ll share food.
Tell stories.
Remember the good.

And if any musicians feel called to it — if you want to bring a song, a guitar, or just sound carried on the air — you’ll be welcome to help fill the valley with music.
BTN will return.

The dream is still alive.

It just needs a little quiet first. 💙

This chat with Ally Row was something special.

They’d just rushed in, Rowan anxious to get set up, Alice balancing it all — and in that moment before the music, we talked about identity, creativity, van life, burnout, mental health… and the courage it takes to chase a dream with your whole heart.

Our Mental Health Reflection and Podcast about this chat are still to come!

If you want a story about partnership, honesty and finding your place in the world — this one hits deep.

🎶 Music doesn’t just soundtrack our lives… sometimes it writes the moments we don’t know how to explain.

At BTN Music Club, we celebrate songs that live in the in-between —
between wanting and waiting,
between staying and leaving,
between connection and goodbye. 🎧

💫 “Mr Right Now” by Lewis
This one doesn’t promise forever.
It promises right now.
A song for late nights, almost-love, and moments that burn bright and disappear fast.
It carries that cinematic, after-dark feeling — tender and dangerous at the same time.
Tig3r’s voice wraps around every line like it already knows how the night will end.
There’s longing here…
and honesty…
and that quiet tension of knowing something won’t last, but leaning into it anyway.
This is music for the heart that understands some connections aren’t meant to stay —
they’re meant to be felt.

Because between the notes…
is where the feeling lives. 💖

🎶 Music speaks in different voices — sometimes it lifts you up, sometimes it tells your story better than you can.
It has been a crazy week on the farm for Tatt - but we can't miss this week's highlighted songs!!
At BTN Music Club, we share songs that meet us in all our moods…
the peace, the fire, the fear, the freedom, and the fun!

This week’s double feature is all about contrast — and that’s where the magic lives.

🔥 “No Regrets” by Ward
This one’s for the parts of you that have lived.
The chapters you don’t talk about.
The lessons that stayed.
It’s a reminder that your story matters — even the messy bits.

A track that carries strength without forcing it
and honesty without softening it.
This isn’t about running from the past —
it’s about standing in it… and still moving forward.

💖 “Boyfriend” by ☆
Then we shift the energy completely.
This one is pure moment music.
Fun, playful, and full of crush energy —
the kind of track that makes you smile without asking why.

Sometimes healing doesn’t look deep…
it looks like dancing, flirting with life again, and letting yourself feel light.
Hyperpop shine.
Club-ready pulse.
Crush energy at full volume.

💫 Together, these two songs capture everything BTN stands for:
Reflection and release.
Fire and fun.
Growth and glow.

Because between the notes…
is where the real stuff lives. 💖

🎶 Music meets us where we are — in confidence, in questioning, in quiet, and in courage.

At BTN Music Club, we spotlight artists who don’t just make songs —
they make spaces to feel. 🎧

This week’s double feature is about balance —
the lift… and the linger.

✨ “So Fly” by
This one’s for when you’re getting your spark back.
For the days you need swagger in your step
and sunlight in your chest.
It isn’t about showing off —
it’s about showing up for yourself again.

🌙 “Backstreets” by
And then there’s the song that walks with you slowly.
This one holds story, strength, and truth.
It feels like memory.
Like movement.
Like history travelling through sound.

💫 Together, these songs hold both sides of healing:
Confidence and connection.
Energy and emotion.
Fire and reflection.

Because music doesn’t just play in the background —
it walks beside us.
