PHIL DAVIDSON: LIVE @ THE LOOKOUT // Sunday, 31 May 2026 // 1:00-3:00 pm // Free Event; No Bookings: Walk-Ins Only // Venue: Bar NSW; The Lookout @ Echo Point; 33 Echo Point Rd, Katoomba.

/ PHIL DAVIDSON /
Blue Mountains singer-songwriter Phil Davidson was discovered by ABC 702 Drive host Richard Glover, whose on-air play of Phil's song Belfast Boy struck such a chord with listeners that it landed him a deal with ABC/Universal Music and launched a full-time music career. Not bad for a former high school music teacher.

Born in Northern Ireland and raised in Australia from the age of ten, Phil is a songwriter and performer of the highest calibre — known for his sharp turn of phrase, self-effacing humour and strong Celtic melodies. He's a regular on Richard Glover's Drive show and TGIF, where he's shared the mic with some of the country's finest comedians. He's toured internationally, released numerous albums, and written for film, theatre and charity — including Love That Matters, penned for the Blue Mountains Fire Appeal, which hit number one on the Australian Country charts in 2013.

In 2019, Phil headed to Nashville to record Out of the Dark with producer Sam Hawksley at Eastside Manor Studio, joined by Linda Ronstadt's long-time pedal steel player, Dan Dugmore and Grammy-winning songwriter Bonnie Bishop. The album's songs of light, faith and humour have helped push his catalogue past a million streams on Spotify. In 2020, seven of his songs were shortlisted for the Australian Songwriters Awards, with two making the final. His most recent single, Cheviot Bay (2023), continues the run — more great songs, written with passion and honesty.

/ LIVE @ THE LOOKOUT @ BAR NSW /
Set on the dramatic edge of Katoomba's Echo Point escarpment, Bar NSW @ The Lookout is the perfect spot to slow down and soak up the Blue Mountains' big-sky views. On the last Sunday of each month, the atmosphere lifts with free live music from 1:00–3:00 pm, featuring regional and touring artists who bring relaxed grooves and easy-going mountain vibes to your afternoon.

Warm up or wind down with a Mountain Culture Beer Co brew from Katoomba's award-winning local legends, or sample the Blue Mountains' largest spread of regional beer, wine, and cider. Hungry? The Lookout's kitchen brings the flavour, while the Milkbar next door serves up coffee, treats, and refreshing ice-cream.

With generous indoor seating and sweeping windows, The Lookout is an all-weather venue, so those Jamison Valley views shine in any season. If you're looking for that perfect Sunday escape — live music, local drinks, great food, and unbeatable scenery — The Lookout @ Echo Point is calling.
