Forget What you Saw, by Leith Hamilton
Opening Thu 9 Aug, 6-8pm
Compositions that incorporate imagery from memories and dreams are set in familiar Newcastle locations, encouraging the view to question their own perceptions of the City’s identity. Multi layered and complex, these psychological portraits of places we know at times only superficially, aim to play on one’s sense of place, and stay with the viewer long after the first look.

Response is an opportunity for an invited group of art practitioners to make and respond to the natural environment of the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens. Sculpture has long held a dialogue with spaces – architectural and natural. The artists here use found and observed processes, colours and materials to produce works that are reflections on the passing of time in nature.
The opportunity to embed an artwork in this significant garden environment, offers an evocative space for creative freedom in concert with respectful engagement with the sub-tropical rainforest area in the gardens.
Response is a partnership between the University Gallery at the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Region Botanic Gardens.

8:30pm - 12:00am Lizzard
Matt Charnley and Jason Dowse played in bands together from the early 90’s. They decided around 1998 was time to put their music into other band line ups after venturing down their own musical paths and the closure of old band, “Slightly Seedy”. Still a band with no name, close friend, Steve Edmonds, asked them to support and threw the name Garden Lizards out there for fun, thus Lizard was born.
After many years of gigs, recordings and writings their original musical tastes and writings were woven in to their album ‘iforbuttadideye’. After the launch at the Metro Sydney in 2008, this original Lizard music has been aired on Pauly Fenech’s SBS shows such as ‘Swift and Shift Couriers’ and ‘Fat Pizza’.

Rose Carleo
Sun July 14, 2019
1:30pm - 5:00pm Mark Wood
6:00pm - 9:30pm Rose Carleo
Award winning, ARIA charting singer Rose Carleo believes she has found the winning formula of songwriting, musicianship and performance. With an EP and three albums to her name including 2015’s critically acclaimed release ‘Time is Now’, described as ‘high octane with a rockin’ live vibe’ by Jessie Cunniffe of the Sydney Morning Herald. Rose has released her forthcoming blues rock laced ‘Battle Scars'. The rise of heavy blues rock outfit ‘Rose Carleo Band’ has proved to be something quite exceptional.
“Here’s the thing: Rose Carleo is the next Queen of Australian rock. Coupled with hot shot guitarslinger Mick Adkins, Carleo projects both a magic and an authority that’s set to grab the live scene by the throat. Backed with the rhythm section muscle of Steve King of Rose Tattoo fame on bass and drummer for everyone who’s anyone, Mick O’Shea, you either get on board or get out of the damn way.” - Murray Engleheart

MARZ
Smokey and evocative, MARZ's voice carries an emotional weight which elevates listeners to a place of escape and serenity but with visceral delivery.
With music dripping in white hot urgency, MARZ to delivers his first single, 'The Master's Slave'. Summoning the energy and dark secrets of  the inner city with Australian rock influences harking back to the 70s and 80's, Marz' music is exciting and dangerous. Delivering a taut, focused and sinewy rock sound devoid of excess, MARZ draws on rock royalty like The Angels and AC/DC but tempers this with melodic flourishes harking back to the masters of 60s folk and with Jeff Buckley-esque vocal comparison. Rock is back. Marz is leading the charge.
Stealing the jagged hooks of rock, indie and the cheap thrill of pop, Marz meditates on ideas as varied as the paranoia of the city and also the distance that can develop between people that were once very close. All the while delivering these themes with chorus's that lift and harmonies that echo back to the masters of folk.

Declan Kelly
Declan Kelly was born in Sydney, Australia to an Irish father and Maori mother. Having two strong ancestral ties made it no wonder that creativity and music was running through his blood. His mother Salley, a singer also exposed Declan to the life of a musician and instruments from an early age where he took to the drums and guitar, singing to come later in his life.
During his high school years he grew up in Sydney’s Balmain where live music was abundant and a thriving scene made this village alive and a great place to grow up for a budding musician. Here he met Alex Lloyd and other musicians to form his first band The Beefs, which went on to play in bars underage and also win a number of band competitions as they had a uniqueness in playing rhythm and blues which most teenagers were unfamiliar with and performing music that was current.

FUNGUS
Newcastle's foremost bubblegum punk band, The MANSONS, was formed by four schoolboys in Mayfield, NSW in 1981.

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.

It captures a great range of music, including, RnB, Blues, Soul, Soft Rock, and Pop.
West Coast development is being driven by regular visits from numerous visiting professional US champions inspiring growing pockets of dancers nationwide.
It is for many, a natural progression from Modern Jive, for those who want to progress their general dance technique and musicality.

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
