Jimmy Barnes brings ‘Stories & Songs’ to Newcastle
After setting a record with his fifteenth number 1, Jimmy Barnes brings The Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories & Songs tour to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre in March.
The Working Class Boy audiobook was written and read by Jimmy Barnes and recorded at his home studio and is only available as a digital download from his website (ie: not from any other online stores) here. Click here to listen to a sample.
Since its release, the hard cover version of Working Class Boy has struck a profound chord with both critics and the Australian public. It spent seven weeks at #1 on the national Bookscan charts ending the 10-week reign of mega-authors JK Rowling and Andy Griffiths and was the No. 1 adult title in 2016.
The next shows on the Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories & Songs tour take Jimmy back to Tasmania for two sold out shows in Launceston as well as a Hobart date which is also close to selling out. From there Jimmy heads across the ditch for 10 shows in New Zealand
THE SHOW
Civic Theatre Newcastle – March 23
The ‘Stories & Songs’ shows see Jimmy Barnes, surrounded on stage by his children Mahalia and Jackie and son-in-law Ben Rodgers, bring the book to life, while baring his heart and soul. The shows have received unanimous rave reviews including:
“A powerful, deeply emotional and transformative production” – The Daily Telegraph
“A sophisticated and very moving piece of storytelling” – The Daily Review
“… anyone seeking an emotional, dark, funny, exciting theatrical event — and a powerful singer still in great voice — will be thrilled” – Sunday Mail SA
“You know you’ve been to a pretty good gig when the songs of your youth are redefined. That is just what this old Cold Chisel fan is feeling right now after spending a wonderful 150 minutes listening to Australian rock great Jimmy Barnes tell his life story with yarns and song” – The West Australian
Best Cabaret Production of 2016
Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories & Songs has been nominated for Best Cabaret Production in the 2016 Sydney Theatre Awards for Jimmy’s sold out performance at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall. In another first, Jimmy’s son, David Campbell, is also nominated making it the first time a father and son have been nominated for Sydney Theatre Awards in the same year. The Sydney Theatre Awards are being held tonight at the York Theatre, Seymour Centre.
Fans seeking tickets for Jimmy’s shows are reminded to only buy tickets from the the official ticket agents listed here so as to avoid “reselling” sites who typically advertise heavily online and often mislead consumers into paying much higher prices than necessary.

Tickets to all new shows go on general sale at 2.00pm local times on Tuesday, 31 January, 2017.
Frontier Members pre-sale: Wednesday, 25 January from 2.00pm local times until Thursday 26 January at 2.00pm local times (or earlier if pre-sale allocation exhausted)

MUD MORGANFIELD (US)
In 1954, the eldest son of Blues great Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) was born. Mud Morganfield grew up surrounded by music, particularly the Blues, and played music all of his life; starting with the drums his dad gave him as a child, then moving on to the bass guitar.
Possessing a baritone voice very much like his father's, and blessed with similar vocal phrasing and a sense of how to command a stage, Morganfield has became a popular draw on the Blues club and festival circuit; mixing both original songs and Muddy Waters classics into his live sets.

The birth of the ‘Bodacious Cowboys’ began back in 1997 by Drummer/ Composer/ Producer, Kere Buchanan under the name ‘The Beat Goes On’ as a one off night of music in dedication to late LA session drummers Jeff Porcaro & Carlos Vega. The band featured ‘4’ drummers (Gordon Rytmeister/ Hamish Stuart & Andrew Gander & KB) with no less than 20 musicians on stage & it proved so popular, another date was booked… Then another… And then another!
Over the following 12 months, the band morphed into what became known as the 'Bodacious Cowboy's, the music of Steely Dan (although the name the 'Luckless Pedestrians' was bantered around as well). For 14 years the band performed regularly in & around the Sydney Metropolitan area @ various Jazz/ Music Festivals, the Basement, in the Newcastle/ Hunter Valley region, South in Wollongong & as far North as Byron Bay right up until January 2013 when the Cowboy's decided to lay down their saddles.
Some calls for a comeback were made & so the saddles have been gathered up for a 'Bodacious Cowboys' reunion. A '2' date reunion in fact @ the band's favourite venue to play, the Basement.
With lots of familiar faces (& a few new ones due to some unavailability's), January 20th & 21st promises to be just as it was folks... '2' long sets of Steely Dan!
So strap on in & we'll see you there, KB!

EVENT DETAILS
Hat Fitz & Cara can in no way be mistaken for a dainty duo. They are festival favourites throughout Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UK and it has been said they pack more energy into one song than most have in an entire career.
A unique combination of hill-style Gospel blues with old timey flavourings and stripped down to just voices, guitar and vintage drums, Hat Fitz & Cara embellish impeccable rootsy originals with soulful vocals reminiscent of a time once forgotten.
Their fourth album, 'After The Rain' has a unique vintage sound that these two have created themselves yet it is packed with a modern punch that cannot be denied once seen live.

Newcastle Art Gallery
JOHN OLSEN: The City's Son
5 November 2016 - 19 February 2017 | Newcastle Art Gallery
Although he is a celebrated master painter and an acknowledged Australian living treasure, John Olsen OBE, AO still describes himself as a 'Newcastle boy.' Born in Newcastle in 1928, Olsen returns home in November to open an exhibition at Newcastle Art Gallery that he says captures the essence of his birthplace. As part of the exhibition, he will also introduce a major new painting created specifically for our city and region. Image: John Olsen OBE, AO in front of Life Burst 1964 at Newcastle Art Gallery, 2016 Image courtesy Newcastle Art Gallery.
JOHN OLSEN: The City’s Son features works personally chosen by the artist that reflect his affection for Newcastle and the Hunter region’s waterways; the beaches, harbour, lake, river and wetlands. The exhibition will showcase more than 35 works of art from the Gallery’s own Olsen collection including ceramics, prints and paintings spanning 1954 -1992 in addition to selected works on loan from private collections around the world. This is the first time that all of the Gallery's Olsen works will be on display together.
In April, Olsen made a helicopter flight over the Hunter region to gain inspiration for the new painting and to "get up in the air to see the marvellous Hunter River with its branches and tendrils feeding the landscape."
Olsen has said that identity and a sense of place are equally important in his art and that he sees Newcastle's ‘sense of place’ as firmly tied to its connection to the Hunter River. He says the new painting reflects the uniqueness of his birthplace and its natural beauty, with the sun burning bright and the river a deep, vibrant blue with its sense of flow and motion.
"Newcastle is undergoing a rebirth, and I want Novocastrians to see themselves differently. I want everyone in the Hunter to see in this painting what they already feel and think about the place where they live," he said.
The completed new work of art will be unveiled at the launch event for the exhibition on Friday 4 November and will be on display at the Gallery throughout the exhibition. The Gallery, Newcastle Art Gallery Foundation and the Art Gallery Society are collaborating to acquire the new painting to keep it permanently in Newcastle.
"The rightful home for what we know will be an iconic work is Newcastle Art Gallery - for future Novocastrians and Australians to view and appreciate the jewel that is the Hunter region," said Newcastle Art Gallery Manager Lauretta Morton.
"The community can be a part of this exciting opportunity by making a donation that will help us to keep the painting permanently in our Gallery."

The late, great Hungarian-born bandleader, composer and visionary Jackie Orszaczky was a beloved staple on the Sydney music scene for more than three decades. He held free Tuesday night residencies at iconic inner-city venues, where young musos could go to learn from one of the most respected figures in the game. He arranged innovative horn and string sections for some of the country’s biggest bands, including collaborations with Marcia Hines, Billy Thorpe, Hoodoo Gurus, You Am I and Savage Garden.
Jackie died of lymphoma in 2008, but his energy, passion, and dazzlingly inventive arrangements live on in multiple groups, including the 12-piece Orszaczky Budget Orchestra. Fronted by Tina Harrod and vocalist Darren Percival, the ensemble showcases a big band which features many of the musicians that collaborated with Jackie over the years and was specially formed to showcase a vibrant horn section. A throwback tribute party full of Jackie’s soul-funk tunes and his arrangements of classics, truly worthy of both his memory and most of the leather on your dancing shoes.

Friday 27 January – PETER GARRETT AND THE ALTER EGOS and KEV CARMODY
The enigmatic Peter Garrett is bringing his band The Alter Egos to the iconic Taronga Zoo to cut the ribbon on the Twilight at Taronga presented by ANZ 2017 Summer Concert Series, with a rare coheadline performance with Kev Carmody.
As the fearless frontman who led Midnight Oil through a career spanning 30 years and 12 Top 10 albums, Peter Garrett’s all-star band features Midnight Oil’s Martin Rotsey on guitar, Peter Luscombe (RocKwiz, Paul Kelly) on drums, and Mark Wilson from Jet on bass, and Rosa Morgan (Red Ghost) on keyboards. Together they will perform songs from Peter Garrett’s recently released solo album A Version of Now , which was penned as he looked back on a remarkable journey though music, activism, politics and family for his 2015 memoir, Big Blue Sky. On its release, the Top 3 charting collection was warmly received by critics and fans alike, with many publications, including Rolling Stone and The Australian, awarding it four star reviews.
Joining Peter Garrett for his performance under the stars is one of Australia’s pre-eminent singer-songwriters, storytellers and ARIA Hall of Fame inductee, Kev Carmody. Born of Aboriginal and Irish heritage, Kev Carmody’s songbook has been collected over forty years; politically charged and driven by the history of his peoples’ struggles and set on the land he loves.

Saturday 28 January – JO JO ZEP & THE FALCONS and THE SPORTS
Two legendary Australian rock outfits from the 70s and 80s come together for a co-headline show during the opening weekend of Twilight at Taronga 2017 presented by ANZ, both Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons and The Sports are set to grace the Taronga stage for two lively performances under the stars, overlooking Sydney Harbour.
Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons made their mark on the Australian music landscape with their unique blend of rock ‘n’ roll, soulful sax and reggae rhythms. The seminal band has performed only a handful of times since their zenith, so this Twilight performance offers a rare opportunity to witness the classic line-up of Joe Camilleri (aka Jo Jo Zep), Jeff Burstin, Tony Faehse, John Power, Wilbur Wilde and Gary Young performing together.
Melburnian new-wave-meets-pub-rock group The Sports launched their career in 1978, spawning 13 singles in four years, including the hits ‘Strangers on a Train’, ‘Who Listens to the Radio’ and ‘Don’t Throw Stones’. The band had four albums reach the Top 40, and their acclaimed sophomore release Don’t Throw Stones (1979) was ranked #51 in the 2010 book 100 Best Australian Albums. Their Twilight at Taronga presented by ANZ performance will mark The Sports’ first Sydney show in 30 years.

Friday 3 February – THE RUBENS supported by Bec Sandridge
In 2017 The Rubens will make their Twilight at Taronga presented by ANZ debut, supported by Bec Sandridge, for a night set against the picturesque sunset backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
Formed in NSW by brothers Zaac, Sam and Elliott Margin together with friends Scott Baldwin and William Zeglies, over the past five years The Rubens have grown from an outer-suburban indie-rock band to a bona fide force-to-be-reckoned-with. Their sophomore album Hoops (2015), a record which The Music detailed as “crammed with gritty guitars, foot-stomping rhythms and Sam Margin's signature bluesy vocals that ooze country town swag,” debuted at #2 on the ARIA chart first week, with the band subsequently selling out every show on their album tour. After a summer of festival slots and further sold out shows, their lead single, also called ‘Hoops’, scored the top spot on the 2016 triple j Hottest 100, kicking the single into Platinum status.
Joining them on the Twilight stage is Bec Sandridge – the Sydney-via-Glasgow pop/punk off-beat guitarist. Her latest single ‘You’re A F*cking Joke’ was labelled “strikingly anthemic” by Rolling Stone and has received critical acclaim from media all over the country.

SUNG BY VIKA BULL & DEBRA BYRNE
On the 45th anniversary of one of the best-selling albums of all time, Carole King’s pop masterpiece, Tapestry was celebrated by two of Australia’s most loved vocalists in three sold out shows at the Arts Centre, Melbourne in August 2016. Iconic performers Vika Bull and Debra Byrne along with The Brill Band, featuring some of Australia’s finest musicians, reimagined the songs of the “most successful and revered female songwriter in pop music history”.
Released in 1971, Tapestry was No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for 15 weeks with over 25 million copies sold worldwide. It is considered was one of the most important pop albums of the 20th century producing the mega hits “I Feel the Earth Move”, “You’ve Got A Friend”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”, “It’s Too Late” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.’
This album forms the centrepiece of the Tapestry concert created by the producer/director of the smash hit At Last: The Etta James Story. Both performers have been inspired by the work of Carole King and the Tapestry album. “A true singer songwriter Carole King doesn’t write to get on the radio she writes because it is all coming from her heart. That is why I love her,” says Debra Byrne.
For 25 years, the glorious voice of Vika Bull, has comprised one of the most distinctive, versatile and emotionally charged sounds on the Australian music landscape. Since a multi-platinum conquest of pop radio with the Black Sorrows in the late 1980s, Vika Bull has forged a diverse pathway into soul, gospel, blues, country and the island music of her Tongan ancestry. Her rich solo vocals and instinctive harmonies have spawned eight albums with her sister Linda, as well as studio and concert performances by Paul Kelly, Renee Geyer, John Farnham, Hunters & Collectors, Tim Finn, Kasey Chambers, John Butler and Dan Sultan. Since 2013 Vika has been performing to packed houses in theatres around Australia in the smash hit concert At Last – The Etta James Story.
Like Vika, Debra Byrne is an Australian music icon. At age 14 she was chosen as one of six original team members of Young Talent Time. By the time Debra was 16 she had won a Logie and the Queen of Pop award and had a single at number one for seven weeks. In the 80s she found her true home of musical theatre with roles in Cats, Jerry’s Girls, Les Miserables, Hot Shoe Shuffle and Sunset Boulevard. She has recorded three solo albums and starred in many Australian television series, most recently as Judy Moran in Fat Tony and Co.
“Melbourne’s vibrant and healthy live music scene means the people of the city are spoilt with many great and unique performances. ‘Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King’ is a show that will translate to any city around the country if Vika and Debra chose to do so.” – Paul Cashmere, Noise 11.
“Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King was a well-curated homage to Carole King at the Playhouse Theatre at Arts Centre Melbourne. Vika Bull and Debra Byrne gave an intimate and personable performance covered not just the well-known hits such as ‘You’ve Got a Friend’ and ‘I Feel the Earth Move’, but also shared vignettes of Carole King’s life. It was also an introduction to songs that many would not have known Carole King wrote, such as ‘The Loco-Motion’ and ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’, made famous by The Shirelles.” – Emmanuella, The Plus Ones.
