Plastic-Free July aims to raise awareness of the amount of single-use disposable plastic in our lives and challenges people to do something about it. Byron Shire residents are encouraged to register to attempt to refuse purchasing or accumulating plastic in their daily lives for the month of July and in doing so are offered a 15 per cent discount on all bulk items at Santos Organics. All residents are further encouraged to join the inspiring list of events and actions happening around the Shire. The collective are hoping to accumulate 1,001 tips and ideas using the Byron Love Arch throughout June and July. Will you share something with the community? Let’s strengthen the Byron Shire as a leader of the sustainability agenda and make it happen! Byron Shire Plastic-Free July is a community collaborative project initiated by Santos Organics in partnership with Clean Coast Collective, Waste-Free Futures, Bolsa Bags, Patagonia, Byron Shire Council and The Echo.

Dear Reader,

The Echo turns 30 this weekend! We thought we’d take the opportunity to let you all know who owns your truly local paper.

Echo Publications Pty Ltd trading as The Byron Shire Echo is owned by David Lovejoy (Shire resident for 33 years), Jeff Dawson (32 years) and his father John Dawson (10 years), Michael McDonald (28 years), Simon Haslam (22 years), Ziggi Browning (15 years) and the family of the late Nicholas Shand, meaning that The Echo is 100% locally owned.

Echo Netco Pty Ltd that runs our online Echonetdaily has the same shareholders.

The Echo does not have an ‘employer’. It has these local shareholders, who support Editor Hans Lovejoy by giving him editorial independence. Readers’ opinions are welcomed.

This makes a stark contrast to the other papers in the area, such as The Byron Shire News, where Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp is a major shareholder. Since February’s APN announcement that they are selling all their regional papers such as The Northern Star, Ballina Advocate, Tweed Daily News, Lismore Echo and The Byron Shire News, News Corp has been named as the only body likely to take over those titles.

The Echo and Echonetdaily remain 100% independent of malign corporate interference. That means a lot to us, and we hope it means a lot to you, too. If so, you don’t need to do anything; just keep reading The Echo’s publications and encouraging everyone you know to advertise when their business needs promotion.

Sincerely The Echo

THE BYRON SHIRE

NETDAILY 100% LOCAL 100% INDEPENDENT

TWO OF AUSTRALIA’S GREAT SINGER/SONGWRITERS AND DREAMERS, DAN KELLY AND ALEX GOW, HAVE TEAMED UP FOR A DOUBLE-HEADLINE KELLY & GOW AUSSIE TOUR, FINISHING WITH A SHOW IN BYRON BAY.

By sharing the stage, Kelly and Gow have come up with a unique format where they back each other’s songs. It’s not Alex first and then Dan’s turn. The lads are onstage together, taking turns to lead. So why did two solo acts decide to team up? ‘We both put out records,’ says Dan, ‘and we have fairly large bands. I do play around solo a fair bit, and we just wanted to go and play without taking a whole lot of people with us, and that’s it. We thought, hey, why not join forces and make it more possible! We are doing a lot of regional shows on this tour we probably couldn’t have done with a band.’ When it comes to playing shows, Dan’s a talker. ‘Tell a story about the songs; the song becomes a punchline. People describe them a bit like walking into a film and then you get your bearings. They are vignettes. It’s quite engaged, and I get people to sing along with sounds like in Playschool, but they’re not earnest singalongs like Kumbaya; it’s quite an amusing group exercise. I am worried that will put people off.’ So how do the two of them work onstage? ‘We are a bit yin and yang – he looks good in leather, he’s a romantic… and I go off!’ Seriously, though, musically, both artists expect to learn something. ‘I think when you write songs one of the best things you can do is play on other people’s; it’s good for your ego and good for your playing and its fun. I like playing guitar, I get to have a chance to have a wang on someone else’s song.’ Personally I am impressed that Kelly is not only having a wang on someone’s music; he’s just made up a new word that describes just that! Dan was pretty chuffed about that too. Dan has an apology he feels he should give… ‘I started the ukulele thing years ago and now I feel I should be publicly executed for it’. So where does Dan get his stories? ‘I often go walking at dusk. I wish I could be the people I am looking at. Move into another life and not go back. It’s very interesting. I also get ideas from reading or travel, or when little incidents in people’s lives blow up into these meta-narratives that often have little to do with the real incident…’ Dan’s living locally now, and inspired to address poor food choices for late-nighters such as musicians… ‘Dan Kelly’s Late-Nite Quinoa…’ And he’s doing yoga. ‘I can do downward dog and backwards chicken. I do breakfast chicken. I definitely would like to do more yoga, if people want me to.’ Jokes aside, Kelly is looking forward to performing in a theatre ‘I enjoy the rock vibe but it’s great to be in a theatre. It’s close.’ So what should we expect? ‘Multi-faceted. Multi-genre. Multi-core.’ Sunday 8pm at the Byron Theatre, Byron Bay.

AMERICANA TO BELLO SINGER/SONGWRITER WILLIE WATSON BELIEVES THE AMERICANA MUSIC SCENE IS ON THE RISE.

Playing with bands such as the Dave Rawlings Machine and being a founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show, Watson is at the forefront of this understated musical movement. ‘The Americana scene has exploded everywhere,’ says Watson. ‘Over here it’s been a big deal, even for a few years after Old Crow had started, but it’s been on the rise, and now it’s one of the most popular genres out there.’ So who takes the credit for popularising what could be described as a more ‘secular’ and unpopular style of music? ‘It was me!’ laughs Watson. ‘I think there was a time 15 or 16 years ago when Buddy Miller and Gillian Welsch and Dave Rawlings were on the road playing and Oh Brother Where Art Thou came out and Old Crow Medicine Show was out there. We were all coming out of Nashville. There was a lot of good stuff happening. ‘They are desperate for it!’ he laughs. ‘I didn’t start playing banjo until I was 18 or 19; I had just dabbled. I played People were wanting the bluegrass stuff.’ the guitar from 12 but the banjo is a different instrument. The right-hand thing is different; you have to relearn The rest, I guess, is history. what you do with the right hand.’ One of the features of the music Willie Watson plays (his debut album Folk Singer Vol 1 was released in 2014) is A keen collaborative player, Willie is hitting the road for his Australian tour in solo mode. finding songs or re-inventing songs with ‘a little bit of old-time fiddle music’. ‘You know the solo thing is good – I like to break it up. I can get worn out on my own at times so it’s good to ‘Midnight Special is one such song. Nobody knows who wrote that song, where it came from. It has its roots get on the road with other people, and then I get tired of everyone and get into playing solo!’ back to the slave days of America. Watson credits Rawlings as being one of his key musical mentors. ‘I don’t even know how they know Midnight Special. I don’t know where it comes from. ‘He’s 10 years older than me. He’s very knowledgeable about the record-industry process, how to make them ‘Some of us think it happened by accident. Sometimes I can spend weeks digging through records, trying to and what to do it for. I have learnt the most from Dave, particularly what to look for and how to play in a find songs, because something comes up, or you remember a song from nowhere and it gets stuck in your studio, and what makes a good take. How to find honesty, believability, and to know whether or not you can head in the shower, and it’s so obvious that it’s amazing!’ hear whether something is believable – not that it’s necessarily technically perfect.’ While he only plays the banjo every three songs or so, Willie admits it’s the banjo that send the crowds wild.

NOW YOU SEE ME 2

Who knows what’s going on in the new genre of brain-drain absurdism? But, more to the point, who cares anyway? I remember liking the first NYSM – not that I could tell you much about the storyline – and I have to admit that I enjoyed this one equally, but again without ever getting a proper handle on it. If the plot is intentionally (?) opaque, I think it must be the helter-skelter style, the clever effects, which are not quite overdone, and the extremely charismatic array of actors involved that make the experience such fun. Woody Harrelson (nobody’s head is as well suited to a pork-pie hat) and Jesse Eisenberg, who were so good together in the rambunctious Zombieland (2009), play off each other again as McKinney and Atlas, two members of the Four Horsemen, a group of magicians who became cult heroes after pulling off an outrageous Robin Hood-type scam. They have been in hiding for a few years, awaiting their next project. Jack (Dave Franco) is the weird little guy in the gang and Lula (Lizzy Caplan) is the manic chick in ruby-red lippy who has joined them as a replacement for Australia’s Isla Fisher. Dylan (Mark Ruffalo), an FBI agent meant to be on their trail, is in reality their mentor and guide. Morgan Freeman gets a start as his usual mellifluous god-like figure, but Ruffalo is seeking to take revenge on him for an incident in the movie’s opening flashback. The villains are represented by Michael Caine and Daniel Radcliffe (how strange to see Harry Potter with a beard). A lot of the action is set in Macau, and the Horsemen’s arrival there, after sliding down a tunnel from a rooftop in America, typifies the fab wackiness of everything that happens. Above all else, what is genuinely irresistible about this, and the original, is its refreshing insistence on not taking itself MONEY MONSTER seriously. If you’re suffering election fatigue (and who isn’t?), Jon M Chu’s film is just the tonic you might be looking for.

There is a point at which appropriate casting can be too clever for its own good. The minute that Dominic West turned up as Walt Camby, CEO of a global company that has lost 800 million bucks overnight, I thought ‘hello, this looks suss’ – I mean really, with West’s form? And to play Lee Gates, a TV presenter with perfect teeth and an impregnable ego, who has a road-to-Damascus moment to suddenly feel the suffering of the downtrodden, gorgeous George Clooney is too obvious a choice. Clooney does little more than reprise his role from the more subtle Up In The Air (2009) but, to give him his dues, he does it really well. Gates gives advice on what to buy and sell on the stock exchange and he is going about his usual schtick when Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell) bursts onto the set with a gun and a bomb. He is one of the schmuck investors who have been wiped out by Camby’s financial disaster and he wants some answers from the big end of town. The NYPD then become involved, but it is the show’s director, Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts), who takes control – the hubris of the film and television industry is boundless. The further the story goes, the more far-fetched it gets, but Jodie Foster’s movie is to be lauded for its scathing critique of capitalism’s uncaring greed, albeit with a number of wisecracks concerning double standards from Gates and a terrific gag about erectile cream. The drama unfolds in real time as people in New York and all around the world are watching, glued to the screen – at the end when Foster has the camera pointed at you, the audience, she is rather heavy- handedly blaming the consumer of news rather than the provider for episodes such as this (and the Lindt café). Gripping and convincing enough to make you care about what happens to Budwell, it suffers from the bogus morality that Hollywood flaunts when attacking an unfair system of which it is such a fat beneficiary.
