And neither did those hugely charismatic rock icons who helped us cast off the inhibitions of our parents.

And easily the best concerns the billing of Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis on an early Alan Freed rock'n'roll extravaganza at the Brooklyn Paramount. Both stars had current hits and both wanted to close the show. In the end, the nod went to Chuck, and Jerry Lee was far from impressed. During his set, he pulled out all stops, hurling his piano stool across the stage, stalking across the keys and emitting a series of blood-curdling roars.

    Sprig Of Heather June 2014 Sprig Of Heather Vol 21 No 2 June 2014 The Official Newsletter of Clan Little Society New Zealand & Australia www.littleclan.net Sprig Of Heather June 2014 As I wrote this editorial a call came in on SKYPE from a friend in Auckland. Oh how our world has changed ! We are now more inter connected through diverse technologies than at any time in History. Had our ancestors a fraction of the technologies we have today how would we have evolved? Scotland in early 1800s was a largely agricultural nation. Work was usually manual and cottage-based. A shift in this trend came with the industrial age. The industrialisation of Scotland began in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The adoption of mechanisation led to the building of factories and a move away from cottage industries. Production was linked to the use of machines as well as the establishment of the railway and canal networks, which transported the raw materials from the dockland (notably cotton) and were able to distribute the finished goods. With the arrival of the steam engine, numbers of miners increased in order to produce the coal needed to power the engines. Iron and steel works also became a major employer at the time. In Scotland the hundred years between 1840 and 1940 saw enormous change in the countries economic and social structure. Our ancestors living in 1840 would have been astounded at the scale and pace of change in the century ahead. Since the dawn of civilization, there existed a need to communicate information over distance.

    An Amber Attractions Production the Golden Days of Australian Bandstand a Musical Look at 60'S Culture

    An Amber Attractions Production The Golden days of Australian Bandstand A musical look at 60's Culture Australia’s longest running TV pop show ran for 15 years on channel nine and was beamed into, two million Australian loungeroom’s each week. Hosted by the mild mannered Brian Henderson, it featured regular Australian singers who became known as the "Bandstand Family". The show popularised the talents of Col Joye, Little Patti, Bryan Davies, Judy Stone, The Seekers, Johnny Farnham and The Bee Gees to name a few. As the program grew in popularity the audience was introduced to many overseas stars such as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Tom Jones, Hermans Hermits, Chubby Checker plus many more. While other pop shows presented screaming fans and long-haired beat groups, Bandstand somehow seemed to ignore the extreme trends in music that happened in the mid and late 1960s. Although it showcased a range of pop performers, it shied away from the brash and the scruffy, becoming a more family orientated programme than a show strictly for teenagers. Each episode featured the "Bandstand Ballet" who kept the audience up to date with the latest dance trends. The Audience will RE-LIVE those swinging days of BANDSTAND. Be transported back to their loungeroom's with memorable Film clips BOP along with the DANCERS on screen and sing their heart's out to those unforgettable songs. Produced and Presented by Australia's favourite entertainers, Eddie Daniels and Suzie Lee. BANDSTAND Playlist examples Happy Together - The Turtles Boom bang a Bang - Lulu Do

    MEDIA RELEASE WICKED is coming to Australia. The hottest musical in the world will open in Melbourne’s Regent Theatre in July 2008. With combined box office sales of $US 1/2 billion, WICKED is already one of the most successful shows in theatre history. WICKED opened on Broadway in October 2003. Since then over two and a half million people have seen WICKED in New York and just over another two million have seen the North American touring production. The smash-hit musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award-winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman (My So Called Life, Once And Again and thirtysomething) is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire. WICKED is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone. ‘We’re delighted that Melbourne is now set to follow WICKED productions in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, the North American tour and London’s West End,’ Marc Platt and David Stone said in a joint statement from New York. ‘Melbourne will join new productions springing up around the world over the next 16 months, and we’re absolutely sure that Aussies – and international visitors to Melbourne – will be just as enchanted by WICKED as the audiences are in America and England.’ WICKED will premiere in Tokyo in June; Stuttgart in November; Melbourne in July 2008; and Amsterdam in 2008. Winner of 15 major awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz.

Many of Australia’s greatest radio serials were produced during the 1940s. Among those listed in this guide are the Sunday night one-hour plays - The Lux Radio Theatre and The Macquarie Radio Theatre (becoming the Caltex Theatre after 1947); the many Jack Davey Shows, and The Bob Dyer Show; the Colgate Palmolive variety extravaganzas, headed by Calling the Stars, The Youth Show and McCackie Mansion, which starred the outrageously funny Mo (Roy Rene). Fine drama programs produced in Sydney in the 1940s included The Library of the Air and Max Afford's serial Hagen's Circus. Among the comedy programs listed from this decade are the George Wallace Shows, and Mrs 'Obbs with its hilariously garbled language.
