There’s not much that’s all-new in Disney’s reworking of their classic adaptation of The Jungle Book. Raised by a pack of wolves and panther Bagheera (the voice of Ben Kingsley) in the jungle, orphan boy Mowgli (Neel Sethi) is targeted by evil tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba) and forced to flee – eventually teaming up with bear Baloo (Bill Murray, who’s playing the only character blessed with an expressive face).

When Richie Ramone steps out on the stage at CHERRYROCK016 next month he’ll have one thing on his mind. “It’s always been about the fans. I don’t play just ‘cause I wanna play, I play to put on a show for the kids to have a good time.”

Life wasn’t meant to be easy, and few people really understand that more than American singer/songwriter Ryan Bingham. The Grammy and Academy Award winner heads back to Australia soon for an extensive tour, but brings with him the pain of recently losing both parents in terrible circumstances.

Lennon & McCartney, Richards & Jagger, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince – throughout history select musical duos have embodied a special chemistry.

It’s a casual Sunday night and the front bar is full with laughter, Irish music and bodies; the way the pub was intended.

Last issue I was waxing lyrical about an overseas artist coming to Geelong, but there’s more to life than welcoming guests. Making a bit of noise (well, music, but you know what I mean …) is Derek and the Champs, and they’ve been playing Pistol Pete’s and the Back Hatt (and other local venues) pulling an increasing crowd. That’s not so much of a surprise, when you look at the line-up – Rod Hoe, Peter Kure, Ian Wilson and Gary Quick.
