I’ve got to admit, when I first heard b5media’s music channel would include a Beatles blog I was a little confused. I know, they’re arguably the most influential band of all time, but let’s face it. Half the band’s dead, and there hasn’t been any new material for years.

The disc features an all-Australian cast, with big names like Daryl Braithwaite, Christine Anu, Rick Price, and Richard Clapton appearing alongside Central Coast locals Mike [...]

Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras always ends on a high, and this year’s 30th anniversary party is no exception. This year’s special guest performer is none other than our very own Olivia Newton-John.
