Canberra Living Artists Week (CLAW)

There are a lot of
events happening this week and next as part of CLAW, so many I can’t find the
time and energy to transcribe them below, but there is a full program here.
Check it out!

Clancy’s

Clancy’s is a ‘heritage style’
bar/restaurant/beer garden type affair on The Federal Highway in Watson. It’s
been closed for 6-7 years, but does currently support some small traders in the
surrounding complex. It would make for a great summer time venue for music, or
so I was told by a huge, scary looking bikie guy the other day. He’s organising
a public meeting to try to save it from its owners who intend to knock the whole
lot down for more of the boxy units proliferating in the area. Interested
parties are invited to the Downer Community Centre, Frencham St, Downer at 5pm,
Saturday 30th August.

Dr Stovepipe Music Video

All are
welcome to attend and appear in Dr Stovepipe’s music video
shoot, being held at Tuggeranong Homestead on Friday at noon. Dress 1930’s dust
bowl, with a hat, and let them know (message via myspace?) how many of you are
coming cause they’ll feed you. There’s a bit more info (and another contact
point) here.

Singing
Workshop with Rachel Hore

Virginia Cooke is organising a singing
workshop with well-known Sydney based singer, arranger, composer and choral
director Rachel Hore on Sat 20 and Sun
21 September. It’s a great opportunity to do a workshop with Rachel as she
doesn’t come to Canberra very often – we usually have to go up to Katoomba to do
WinterSong, which is booked out for the two sessions this year! There’s an early
bird fee of $90 if paid by this Friday. Email [email protected] for more
info.
