CARL COX RETURNING TO USA FOR TRILOGY OF SHOWS

Legendary DJ and smiling friend to all, Carl Cox, makes his welcomed return stateside this October and November to perform what is likely to be his final round of US dates for 2014. Carl just wrapped his most successful summer season ever with the crowning jewel being the closing festivities at his famed night at Space (Ibiza).

Carl is always a fan favorite wherever he performs, perhaps because his insatiable love of music magically permeates every nerve ending of those within earshot, causing immediate flushes of pure happiness and the unwavering knowledge that you were made for this groove! And that one. Oh, and this one coming up too…

Carl always brings the energy and excitement to any place he plays- heck, the man could DJ from his phone on an airplane and he’d have the plane and staff up and grooving in 3 seconds flat!

If you’ve never seen the legend that is Carl Cox, and you live anywhere near SEATTLE, BROOKLYN or LAS VEGAS, then today is truly your lucky day!  Seriously. You should probably play the lottery.

Carl Cox US Dates

Oct 29- Output, Brooklyn, NY 

Oct 31- Freaknight, Seattle, WA

NRMA Business Motoring To Give Away Tamworth Experience of a Lifetime!

The 2014 Tamworth Country Music Festival saw iconic Aussie brand the National Roads and 542ebd9dMotorists’ Association connect with Country Music for the first time. NRMA Business Motoring provides roadside assistance, fleet support and advocacy for 22,000 businesses across NSW and the ACT. Head of NRMA Business Motoring Matthew Beattie said supporting the Country Music business was a big part of the NRMA’s work in helping businesses across regional NSW and the ACT.

Since January, NRMA Business Motoring’s support of Country Music has grown to include the naming rights sponsorship of nation-wide tours including Golden Guitar nominated acts like Paul Costa and Kristy Cox, as well as helping kick start the career of rising star trio Georgia Fall.

“NRMA Business Motoring is all about keeping business vehicles on the road, so when we saw the chance to support exciting young bands touring like Georgia Fall who were going to spend many months on the road in 2014, it just made sense for us to get behind them as they arrive for success in the music business. ” Beattie said.

But NRMA Business Motoring is far from done with their support of the Tamworth Festival and will be back in a big way in 2015!

“At the 2014 Festival, our team experienced just how amazing Tamworth can be. So as we build awareness of how NRMA Business Motoring can help with business vehicles of all shapes and sizes, we wanted to give others the chance to share the same amazing party as well!” Said Beattie

With the help of superstar acts The McClymonts, O’Shea and Jetty Road, NRMA Business Motoring is proud to launch “The Great Aussie Country Party” competition. This competition will run from October to Mid-December. The grand prize will see a lucky winner and their guest attend Tamworth for the 10 days of the Festival thanks to NRMA Business Motoring.

This “Country Party” prize package includes up close and personal experiences with The McClymonts, O’Shea, Jetty Road, flights for two (2) people to Tamworth from any capital city in Australia, accommodation for two (2) people for the entire 10 days of the Festival, two (2) tickets to the NRMA Business Motoring Country Music Cocktails, two (2) tickets to all other five (5) NRMA presented concerts during the Festival, two (2) tickets to Country Music’s ‘Night of Nights’ the Golden Guitar Awards and transfers and travel during the Festival.

There is no denying that this prize package is simply a ‘Money-can’t-buy” experience for the lucky winners!

“The festival is the ultimate party in the country. So whether you are a fan of Country Music or not, we are pretty certain that if you win this prize, you will be converted for life.” Surmised Beattie.

The competition is open to all Australian citizens, and can be entered at www.nrmacountryparty.com

City Recital Hall – OTTOMAN BAROQUE AUSTRALIAN BRANDENBURG ORCHESTRA

City Recital Hall – OTTOMAN BAROQUE AUSTRALIAN BRANDENBURG ORCHESTRA
22 – 31 October

The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra invites you on a journey presented with Whirling Dervishes, revered musicians from Turkey and musicians of the Greek meyhané tradition.

Tracing the journey of a mystical and imaginary traveller throughout Europe, Ottoman Baroque is a musical journey reflecting the riches, mysteriousness, influences and exotic sound of the faraway Orient.

Our traveller begins in France with the music of Lully and Marais, then passes through Germany (Telemann), Italy (Allegri) and Spain (Boccherini) before arriving in the eastern Mediterranean with the music of the meyhané tradition of Greece and Eastern Anatolia. Our traveller’s final destination is Turkey, where revered Turkish musicians and the Whirling Dervishes mesmerise, entrance and inspire.

Traditional Turkish musicians
Paul Dyer AO – Director

instrumentation
The Ottoman Baroque series will feature some of Turkey’s finest exponents of the kudün (drum), qanun (a plucked string instrument), tambur (a fretted string instrument) and ney (a reed flute) and will culminate with the arrival of the spellbinding Whirling Dervishes.

story behind the music

Paul Dyer’s concept for the Ottoman Baroque series began with a conversation with a long time friend and supporter of the Brandenburg and culminated in his attendance at a ceremony of the famous Whirling Dervishes in Konya, Turkey. Here there was a fortuitous meeting between Paul and Esin Çelebi Bayru, Vice President of the International Mevlana Foundation. This meeting led to an invitation from Paul to Esin to travel to Sydney for these very special concerts.
