Northcote Social Club

The guitar design celebrates the history, music and Irish heritage of the venue. 1854 sits proudly on the head of the guitar marking the year the building was established while the emerald green semi acoustic Gibson guitar and four leaf clovers nod to its Irish roots. Beneath the guitar sits a scroll featuring the Gaelic words: Go mair an ceol that translates to 'May the music live on'.
The Eminor chord is positioned on the 10th fret as an ode to Em. She has run the Northcote Social Club for the past 10 years. It’s a small musical tribute to her dedication, her service to the music industry and everything she has contributed to the Northcote Social Club and its community over the years.

The guitar is surrounded by native flowers, botanicals, monarch butterflies, buzzing bees and blooming florals all bursting with colour, movement and life.
