Gig~guide 30 Sep 2016
Author: Richard McLeod
Zoe K was great at Lizotte’s. Kevin Borich started a little slow (country style) but played well when he got into the blues.
TINA is from today to Sun, a great range of writing and art. It also includes the Hunter Final for Slam Poetry. Winners go to Sydney for State titles, then Australian titles, then Winner to World Titles. Extremely entertaining (well, it was the last time I saw it).
Viagro are great if you like covers done in the style of heavy punk (even Beatle songs).Sunday has fewer choices because some game of football (really handball or “footbrawl”, as Tim Bowden described it some years ago – and there was another sport he called “thugby”).
Enjoy the long weekend coming up. And don’t forget daylight saving……..forward one hour. Finishes Sun 2 April, 2017.
Blues Fest is looking better with announcement of Doobie Brothers and Santana today.

OCTOBER 1ST TRIPLE ARIA WINNER JOSEPH TAWADROS
On October 1st returning to Australia from London where he now resides, legendary Australian musician JOSEPH TAWADROS will perform a special concert in NEWCASTLE by popular demand! pre-bookings strongly recommended!! tix available through www.trybooking.com/
The sage musicality of Australian oud player and composer, Joseph Tawadros, is demonstrated at full strength on his latest album, World Music as he enlists an array of intriguing instruments from across the planet to create richly textured global landscapes. The album moves easily from hypnotic rhythms to subtle stillness, from exhilarating dances to swaggering grooves. It can be ethereal, sensual and joyful, all united by Joseph’s integral musicianship. Joseph forges his own odyssey across cultures, traditions, borders and time, playing multiple instruments alongside his oud. “For the ‘World Music’ album, I immersed myself in a range of genres, drawing upon my previous collaborations – practicing, adapting, improvising – letting my technical limitations on each instrument guide the course of the compositions. This is a very organic way of music making, letting the spirit of each instrument flow through me without striving for virtuosity.
’World Music’ is a soundtrack to the mind where music inspires imagination. Essentially, this is what binds us: No matter where we’re from, we are not so different.”

Australia’s premiere tango quintet are now supersizing to an 8 piece ‘Orquesta Típica’ for this special collaboration. Tángalo have continued to delight both Australian and international audiences with their signature blend of Golden-era and modern tango music. The combined forces of the enigmatic Argentine bandoneón, double bass, strings, piano and vocals, make Tángalo’s sound both instantly recognisable and unlike anything else on the Australian music scene.

The combined forces of the enigmatic Argentine bandoneón, double bass, strings, piano and vocals, make Tángalo’s sound both instantly recognisable and unlike anything else on the Australian music scene.
Tángalo is no stranger to incredible collaborations with tango maestros of the world and this next will be no exception. They have toured with Latin-grammy nominated ‘Duo Ramirez-Satorre’ in 2015, studied and performed alongside the greats in Buenos Aires in 2014 and combined forces with the wonderful vocal talents of Fabian Rodriguez in 2013.
Their special guest is Nestor Vaz, from Montivideo, Uruguay and is a bandoneonist of considerable repute. Born in 1948, Nestor has performed on the bandoneon since the age of 14, beginning in orchestras from Uruguay. With many years of collaborations under his belt (as well as a degree in geology!), Nester has dedicated a huge part of his life to the music from the Rio de La Plata region of Argentina and Uruguay and also to the music of the great Astor Piazzolla. His activities as bandoneonist, musical director and arranger have taken him on tour to a vast number of international locations: Spain, Germany, France, Mexico, Argentina, Portugal, Canada, the Untited States and even Finland.
His collaborations are too numerous to list, however amongst them are acting as arranger and musical director of the great singer Gustavo Nocetti as well as such spectacular events as Avenida Bandoneón, accompanying such tango singers as Ledo Urrutia, Alberto Rivero and Marlene Otero, argentine singers including Raúl Lavié and Eduardo Espinosa, and recording alongside many great musicians & singers of popular Uruguayan music from Rock to Candombe (the jazz of the Uruguayan street bands).
When he is not playing with ensembles such as Quinteto Imperial, Tango por dos and Tango 4, you may find him being a soloist in the Montevideo Municipal Symphonic Orchestra or first bandoneonist in the tango galas of Montevideo Philharmonic Orchestra. As well as being declared ‘the most illustrious citizen of the Municpality of Fl
orida, Urugay’, he has also recently released to great acclaim a new album of original compositions entitled ‘Tango Suites’ and finished a season of ‘Hommage a Astor Piazzolla’ in Montreal, Canada.

OCT 14TH VIOLIN VIRTUOSO DANIEL WELTLINGER (BERLIN) & ENSEMBLE
Sydney-born/Berlin based Daniel Weltlinger is one of the world’s great violinists and composers and is highly acclaimed for his distinctive sound and improvisational approach in the genres of Gypsy-swing, jazz, klezmer and experimental/free-improvised music. He is frequently in demand as a solo recording/performance artist with some of the world’s top musicians in a variety of different formats, and is highly sought after for his technical and musical mastery on his main instrument.
TICKETS ON SALE NOW! www.trybooking.com/MXRA
Daniel has performed and recorded in Australia, Europe, China, Morocco, the US and Israel, and regularly collaborates with many renowned artists and ensembles including German-Gypsy guitar legend Lulo Reinhardt, world renowned Yiddish singer Karsten Troyke, Polish Australian chanteur Nadya Golski and her 101 Candles Orkestra, the multiple ARIA award winning ensemble Monsieur Camembert and Danish bass player Kenneth Dahl Knudsen amongst many others. He runs a small record label Rectify Records which produced the album ‘Koblenz’ nominated as one of the masterpieces of 2015 by Downbeat Magazine, and leads a number of ensembles including ‘Zohar’s Nigun’ and ‘The Asthmatix’ which fuse Jewish themes and Kabbalistic-inspired improvisation within the respective contemporary frameworks of jazz and electronica/hip-hop, both groups having released their debut albums in 2012 to rave reviews worldwide.
‘music transcends boundaries’
Koblenz, Downbeat Best Albums of 2015
Koblenz, Downbeat Best Albums of 2015
‘The music of Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli has spawned countless imitators and revivalists the world over, but where others have used the Gypsy swing idiom as a vehicle for virtuosity Weltlinger brings a refreshing sense of innocence to bear. The violinist imbues the melodies and his sound with a lightness and joyousness that can coexist with any sadness or pensiveness implicit in a given piece.’

BRUCE MATHISKE’S GUITAR LOUNGE TAKES UP RESIDENCY AT THE STAR HOTEL EVERYSUNDAY
Two local legends together at last! That’s the idea behind the Bruce Mathiske Guitar Lounge residency at the famous Star Hotel in Newcastle. Every Sunday from 4:30pm, internationally acclaimed guitar virtuoso Mathiske will take to the stage at The Star with some very special guests.
And you only need to take a quick look at some of the fine musicians Bruce has shared the stage with to get an idea of what we’re talking about.
ABOUT:Bruce Mathiske
Bruce Mathiske, described by The Sydney Morning Herald as “The Authentic Guitar Virtuoso”, grew up on a wheat farm in the Mallee of Victoria and has paved a very successful career as predominately a solo virtuoso guitarist and composer.
Bruce’s dexterity on the guitar is recognised around the world. Following Mathiske’s perfoamnce at the Edinburgh Festival, journalist Adrian Morgan wrote: “This virtuoso, is one of Australia’s musical superstars, the notes explode from both hands leaving you to wonder if there is another Mathiske in the wings. By the time he had added the didgeeridoo and wowed us with outrageous harmonics from far flung corners of his guitar, we were all his.”
His three decades of performing, recording eighteen solo albums and touring, has led to sell out concerts and worldwide acclaim.
His compositions of suites for guitar and orchestra are the culmination of a lifetime of absorbing music and sounds. In mid 2013 Mathiske entered his “retreat” and began composing a series of four Suites for guitar and orchestra. Twelve months later, he has just finished recording with The Metropolitan Orchestra at Trackdown in Fox Studios, Sydney Australia.
