Editorials
Had a great time at the Central Coast Blues and Jazz Festival – Lloyd Spiegel was brilliant (his drummer couldn’t make it due to the weather and many flight cancellations) and so different to his CD – very intricate playing, similar to Richard Thompson. But also saw Adam Miller, Caiki Baker, Rehab Brass Band (doing Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Bonerama, Trombone Shorty and Galactic plus own versions of pop songs), 19Twenty, Mama Janes’s Blues Band (starting off with Lazy!!!!!), Emma Pask and finishing with Russell Morris (still a great voice at 71). - Richard McLeod.
Ryan Daley soloist on Friday night at Central at Charlestown has a strong acoustic style and rich vocals. Nice guitar sound with skilful guitar breaks - not a subtle performer, you know he's there however very tasteful. 
Dave Carter at The Duke is a crowd pleaser and a good size crowd in attendance after the football, so high spirits at the Duke for the night. Iguana duo at Queens wharf played in a beautiful setting with the harbour lights, the cafe curtains were down and heaters on making it very comfortable on the lounges despite it being a cold evening.  DV8 had the Wicko brimming with people on Friday night,  heating the place up with their guaranteed rock.   Can highly recommend the film Yesterday, an English film with a clever concept  'if the world forgot the Beatles', well told and funny.  Murray's Brewery is a great Sunday afternoon drive up to the bay, Half Nelson on a blue skied Sunday out on the deck made a great afternoon, Brien McVernan will be appearing there this Sunday - Nelle

The Hunter Wetlands Centre hosts RIVERSONG exhibition in August

Textile artist Jan Clark uses a variety of techniques and mediums to express her spiritual connection to nature in a new exhibition at the Hunter Wetlands Centre Arts Space at Shortland in August.
The vibrant habitat of the Wetlands will form the ideal backdrop for experiencing Clark’s diverse work. Her RIVERSONG works evoke the extraordinary beauty of tiny details observed during her frequent forays into the natural world.
The Lock Up
AN IMMEASURABLE DISTANCE : EMMA FIELDEN
10 AUGUST - 6 OCTOBER 2019
OPENING 5.30PM SATURDAY 10 AUGUST
AN IMMEASURABLE DISTANCE is a solo exhibition by Sydney based artist Emma Fielden which explores the nature of infinity, the universe and our human place in it. It began with the idea that pondering infinity might allow the mind to reach out beyond the boundaries of a confined space. The exhibition brings together The Lock-Up’s distinct architectural history as prison, a place of confinement, and Fielden’s ongoing examination of infinite and infinitesimal phenomena. 
The exhibition includes installation, sculpture, performance and video works developed between 2015 and 2019. Some of these works are presented largely unaltered, activating the space in their original forms, while others have been revised in response to the site. There are also a number of new works, which have been developed expressly for this exhibition.
If we were to pose the question What is infinity? to experts across a variety of fields, we would receive a vast array of answers. Thinkers across science, mathematics, religion and philosophy would all have their own take on such a query. In Fielden’s examination of the topic, infinity is both vast and minute, it is space and time at their most grand, matter at its most infinitesimal scale, it is an endlessly divisible line, the distance between things, the distance between humans.

ERASURE

MAZIE KAREN TURNER | DAN NELSON | ANNEMARIE MURLAND | KATRINA HOLDEN

17 JULY - 24 AUGUST 2019

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE OPENING AND PERFORMANCES
TUESDAY 6 AUGUST FROM 7:30PM

Erasure is never simply a matter of making things disappear: there is always a remainder that comes about in the aftermath, some mark on the surface from which a word or image or note has been removed. Whether crossed out, written-over or rubbed away, the forsaken item has a habit of returning, like a spectre: if only in the marks that assume its place and assert its passing.
Please join us for the follow up event and performances
Tuesday 13 August from 7:30pm.
Sangria, paella and Flamenco! with Bandaluzia featuring ARIA nominated guitarist Damian Wright, for exceptional Spanish music and dance.
During the 1960s, a growing number of artists and writers in different locations around the world and largely unaware of one another, adopted the process of erasure and effacement. In New York, Doris Cross started painting over dictionary pages; Tom Phillips in London began to partially obliterate pages from an obscure Victorian novel; the Austrian concrete poet, Gerhard Rühm used India ink to largely obliterate a newspaper and in Belgium in 1968, Marcel Broodthaers crossed out selected words in a painting that resembled
a blackboard. 
Erasure was just one of a number of methods used by Conceptual artists in the 1960s, and was frequently employed to break with tradition and instigate new forms of art making that appeared to be detached from the artist's own hand. But perhaps the most famous artwork featuring the act of erasure is Robert Rauchenberg's work, 'Erased De Kooning Drawing', 1953. Since then, many artists have reprised Rauschenberg's influential act of erasure, imbuing it with different meanings, created primarily through the question of what is being erased, as well as the circumstances under which such a cancellation is performed. Erasure is an exhibition of four women artists who have used and continue to integrate this strategy in
their work.

Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen

Thursday, 10 October 2019
Jon Cleary is one of music’s great anomalies. A Kent raised Englishman turned certified New Orleans music legend after gracefully inhabiting the Crescent City and everything it has to offer over the course of 30 plus years. A Grammy award winning, global touring and studio force, who has graced stages, shared rooms and gained respect from everyone from Allen Toussaint to Tom Jones, Dr. John to Bonnie Raitt, Fats Domino to Eric Clapton, Taj Mahal to BB King, even Brian May to D’Angelo. Jon Cleary quite simply embodies the sound of New Orleans, and throughout the second half of 2019, he takes that experience to stages across the globe on his massive Dyna-Mite World Tour, bolstered by the presence of his long time band, The Absolute Monster Gentlemen.
After another incredible turn at the famed New Orleans Jazz Fest in April, fans in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia will now have the chance to witness Jon and his crew take to some of the most famed venue and festival stages on the planet across this remarkable 60 date journey, featuring an eight show run at London’s famed Ronnie Scott’s, a string of European dates with longtime friend and jazz legend John Scofield and an expedition to Havana to explore the roots of Cuban music, art and culture.
Tickets for Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen’s Dyna-Mite World Tour are on sale now at www.joncleary.com
“Cleary can be an absolute monster on his own, but Cleary’s full combo R&B is as broad, deep and roiling as the Mississippi River, the combined swinging product of local keyboard tradition, Cleary’s vocal-songwriting flair for moody Seventies soul and the spunky-Meters roll of his Gentlemen” David Fricke, Rolling Stone

The Mansons
FUNGUS
Newcastle's foremost bubblegum punk band, The MANSONS, was formed by four schoolboys in Mayfield, NSW in 1981. After an illustrious career spanning over 2.5 years The MANSONS disbanded due to extreme musical, personal (hygiene related) and philosophical differences. Hatchets were buried in 2016 at Newcastle's premier live music venue, The Stag and Hunter Mayfield, just a few short blocks from their original rehearsal, management and promotional hub, Monkee Manson's bedroom. This July 20 The MANSONS reunite for a third time to recreate the sonic ecstasy of their early shows at North Leagues Club, Nitemoves, Southy Beach Pavilion and various Newcastle halls, garages, back yards and living rooms. FUNGAS will represent the next generation from 8pm, then The MANSONS will deliver two sets of high-octane, ear destroying, cute and fuzzy favourites like their mega-hit single "I Died Four Times (but I don't wanna talk about it)" and "Go Away!" from 9pm - FREE ENTRY.

James Thomson
The High Andies
When an artist appears on the scene with his own identifiable style and is comfortable and confident in his ability as a writer and performer you know he’s studied the greats and absorbed the essential elements of their craft. Australian musician James Thomson is one such artist. After being ‘discovered’ in 2013 by Stuart Coupe (ex-Paul Kelly + Hoodoo Gurus manager) - James was quickly signed to Coupe’s Laughing Outlaw Records and soon released two albums which drew glowing comparisons to JJ Cale, Gene Clark and Bobby Charles. Coupled with the magnetic draw of his live performances Thomson was soon marked out by press and fans alike as something special. James and his band have since toured extensively both Nationally and Internationally and have recently completed work on a highly anticipated third studio album.

Nathan Cavaleri

Tickets: GA  $23.50

Nathan Cavaleri
Much of the country was oblivious to the career Nathan Cavaleri led beyond prime-time Australia. By age 12, he found himself the centre of a bidding war between the labels of Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna. By age 16 he'd toured with B.B. King as his guest, and played at the Kennedy Centre in front of The Clintons with Etta James and Bonnie Raitt.
In 2010, Nathan's battle with insomnia and anxiety was witnesses by thousands when he blacked out on a festival stage. Struggling to regain his confidence and drive he stepped away from his art with the expectation of never returning. Whilst the performing came to a halt, his song writing developed a far deeper level of expression with a diverse range of influences. This love of music offered him a similar type of therapy it had when he battled leukaemia as a child. Motivated by his passion to play and write, he stared down the fear of live performance and determined that it was time to make a record.
His upcoming EP 'Demons' stretches beyond the traditional rock, blues and roots that Cavaleri is known for. The release of the first single 'Demons' marked his 6 year rise above mental health challenges and return to the stage. 'Rising Sun' is a track in which he pays tribute to the man that landed him his first record deal and tour at age 10, Jimmy Barnes, and is an emotive step from the profoundly beautiful title track.
This will be Nathan’s first solo release since he was signed to Michael Jackson’s label in 1994 and features songs that are a culmination of the diverse life Nathan has lived. B.B.King calling Nathan “the future of blues” is definitely an appropriate quote for how he has expanded beyond his roots.
“This time around, I wanted to express more than blues would allow. Each track throughout the writing and production process conformed to no specific genre and called upon an array of my favourite artists from J.J.Cale and B.B. King to Bowie, Lana Del Ray, and Mos Def.”
Cavaleri returns after playing sell out gigs up and down the East Coast in 2018, seeing him connect intimately with new and lifetime fans through both story and song. From how his love for music deepened during his battle with leukaemia as a kid, to a hilarious encounter with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant after playing to sixty thousand people in Zurich after Elton John. However, it's how he brings his experiences and songs into the present that gives audiences more than a shot of nostalgia.

A HUGE EXHIBITION OF CHINA'S TERRACOTTA WARRIORS IS COMING TO THE NGV

It's one of two immersive exhibitions focusing on ancient and modern Chinese art heading to the Victorian gallery next winter.
Back in 1982, Melbourne played host to one of China's most important ancient artworks: a collection of statues known as The Terracotta Army. Crafted between 221–206 BCE and first discovered in the Shaanxi province in 1974, it made its international debut at the National Gallery of Victoria — and now, 37 years later, it's returning for the NGV's 2019 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series.
Dubbed Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality, the five-month exhibition will feature eight warrior figures and two life-size horses from The Terracotta Army, alongside two half-size replica bronze chariots that are each drawn by four horses. They were created during the reign of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang and were buried near his tomb more than 2200 years ago. The pieces coming to Melbourne only represent a fraction of the entire work, which numbers more than 8000 figures in total.
If you're wondering how big of a deal the statues are, the answer is very. The Terracotta Army is considered one of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century and has also been described as the 'Eighth' Wonder of the World. Displaying at the NGV from May 24 to October 13, 2019, the selected pieces will be accompanied by more than 150 other ancient Chinese treasures sourced from museums and Shaanxi archaeological sites. Expect to rove your eyes over priceless gold, jade and bronze artefacts that date back more than 3000 years, charting China's artistry across the country's formative period.
Looking to the present as well as the past, the NGV's winter season will also celebrate acclaimed Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. His work is no stranger to Australia — in 2014, Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art hosted its own showcase — however, his Melbourne exhibition will feature all new pieces. With Cai known for his large-scale installations, The Transient Landscapewill include 10,000 porcelain birds suspended in a spiral formation, in an artwork that links to The Terracotta Army. Specifically, it'll create a 3D version of a calligraphic drawing that depicts Mount Li, which is where Qin Shi Huang and his terracotta warriors were buried.
Another of Cai's new works will feature a porcelain sculpture of peonies placed in the middle of a 360-degree gunpowder, with his entire show taking inspiration from Chinese culture and philosophy. The world-renowned talent will also help design Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality, making the two concurrent exhibitions as immersive as possible.
'Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality' and 'Cai Guo-Qiang: The Transient Landscape' will exhibit as part of the NGV International's Melbourne Winter Masterpieces presentation, running from May 24 to October 13, 2019. For further details or to buy tickets, visit the NGV website.

Wolfmother confirmed to headline a HUGE 2019 Scene & Heard Festival

After a massive 2018, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Scene & Heard couldn’t get any bigger, right?
Well, you’d be wrong because the lineup for the 2019 festival, which kicks off at Wickham Park on Sunday 10 November, has dropped overnight and it’s a doozy!
Leading the charge this year are Aussie heavy rockers Wolfmother who are fresh from a massive Splendour In The Grass gig and an international tour.
Amazing hitmaker Alex Lloyd will also be marking a milestone at this year’s festival – the 20th anniversary of his platinum-selling debut album Black The Sun – a record Alex will perform in full on the Scene & Heard stage.
The treats just keep coming, too with the 2019 bill rounded out by rockers Eskimo Joe and Even, crowd favourites Sneaky Sound System and the glorious indie power pop of Jebediah and Magic Dirt.
Wow!
To put the icing on the cake, Newcastle will also host the “Don’t Come Monday Stage” – a party zone designed to evoke only the best memories of the boiler room.
Championed this year by The Potbelleez DJ’s, the stage will feature Andy Murphy and John Course.
Scene & Heard is more than a festival. It’s about creating a connection to a time. A time before people cared about ‘likes’, and festival moments weren’t Instagram opportunities but collective memories.
Those wanting to create new memories and relive the old ones can head here to register for the pre-sale.
Members pre-sale begins Tuesday 11 June from 9am.
General public tickets are on sale Wednesday 12 June from 9am
