Vivid Sydney 2013

Last night we headed down to check out Vivid Sydney 2013. As always the light festival never fails to impress. The bridge and the Opera House were definitely the standout acts of the night. But for some reason the rest of the Quay seemed to be lacking a little in the lighting department compared to past years.

Vivid Sydney 2013 is certainly still worth checking out regardless. We live in a beautiful part of the world, and in such a knock-out city even without the annual light show. Always great for an evening stroll.

My three hot tips:

1. Check out the Vivid Sydney 2013 on a school night. The weekends are likely to completely packed out, as Vivid finishes on the 10th June (next Monday)
2. For a brilliant view of the entire Quay, climb upstairs to the Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal for a beautiful, uncrowded view
3. For a great cheap feed there is a great little place at the bottom left-hand-side of the Muesum Of Contemporary Art which does delicious $7 Lamb & Rosemary Hotdogs! #winning

Here are a few shots from Vivid Sydney 2013.

The Bevel Drives Got The Desmodromic Blues

I love music, especially the blues and rock n' roll. This has been ingrained in my DNA by my dad, who sings and plays the harmonica in a band called The Bevels Drives. I rocked out with The Bevel Drives in Orange on Saturday night and these photos are the evidence of the good times had. Strangely enough - my memories of the night are failing me...always a sign of a cracking gig consisting of all the best debauchery of any good rock n' roll band.

There are a load more shots on The Bevel Drives Facebook site. Check em out here

Enjoy.

Fast forward to FOTSUN

So chronologically speaking, I should be blogging about Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast. But the harsh reality is that I'm actually back on home soil down under and showing some mild symptoms of "post travel blues".

Luckily for us we had the opportunity to road trip up to the coast to Port Macquarie to my favourite of the Summer festivals - Festival Of The Sun. Which is exactly what the doctor ordered to cure my newly acquired illness!

Ladyhawke, Art Vs. Science, Dan Sultan, The Hungry Kids Of Hungry, Claude Hay and Colin Moore were just a couple of the cracking acts that played at this years festival.

Here are a few shots from in amongst the action at FOTSUN 2012.

The Sound Of Music

Whether you're the next big thing on the music scene, a groupie or just a regular punter that loves listening to quality live music, then London is where it's at.

Live gigs, open mic nights, buskers and weirdos on trains - London really is the Sound Of Music.

The next few shots are from of a couple of gigs that I went to in support a friend of mine, Tristan Grassick, a young up-and-coming song writer and gun guitarist.

Enjoy.
