Last night I headed out to my favourite venue, Lizotte’s, to see one of my favourite performers, James Reyne. The reasons why I love both venue and performer so much are similar: they deliver exceptional quality each and every time.
So I was in a good mood long […]

Last night I had the pleasure of catching Chris Murphy at Lizotte’s. The last time I saw this affable singer songwriter he was singing head-to-head with the likes of Damien Leith, Dean Geyer, and Bobby Flynn. The stripped back setting of this Central Coast icon is a world away from the Australian Idol stage, and […]

The Live & Cookin’ @ Lizotte’s Restaurant CD has been permanently lodged in my stereo since I picked it up at the Rick Price/Jackie Bristow show a few weeks ago. 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 […]

Not a lot of good came from Channel Ten’s failed reality talent quest, The X Factor. The series winner’s Random, had two forgettable singles and faded into oblivion. Mark Holden embarrassed himself further. But there was a shining light in the lacklustre affair. It introduced Australia to Kaya.
These unconventional stars, with bare feet, quirky songs, […]

I admit it; I’ve still got a crush on Ian Moss. It’s been 18 years since he released Matchbook and first set my nine-year-old heart a flutter. He’s older now, with shorter hair and a few more wrinkles, but there’s still a spark about this rock stalwart. It was this spark, and the promise of […]
