  • Introduction
    Introduction In January 1997, two Sydney Morning Herald journalists produced a brief account of what they perceived to be the most important rock and roll sites in Sydney.1 Their sense of the city's rock histories extended to places of local mythology well beyond popular music's production and consumption: five star hotels as frantic sites of adoration of the Beatles ensconced within; psychiatric hospitals where career paths merged with psychosis; and migrant hostels as sites of cross-cultural ambitions. The article was a rare acknowledgement of the spaces and places of performersand fans' interaction. This thesis constitutes an extended response to the article's implicit desire to recognise alternative accounts of Australian popular music connected to broader city narratives. In analysing the rock music venues of Sydney as sites of interaction between musicians, fans and government, I am principally concerned with three interrelated themes: • The social construction of live performance venues from 1955 amidst the parallel construction of the performer and fan as an 'unruly' subject; • The industrial development of live performance: the live rock venue within commercial/economic structures; and • The dialectical tension of the above in reconciling the state's desire for manageable 'cultural citizens' with broader cultural policy (support for live rock and roll within arts policies). A more detailed explication of these strands is undertaken in Chapter One, in providing a theoretical overview of relations between popular culture and the state, and specific media/cultural/popular music studies approaches to cultural practice and policy. My personal interest in the histories of live rock venues parallels an increased 1 Jon Casimir and Bruce Elder, 'Beat streets - a guide to Sydney's rock and roll history', Sydney Morning Herald, 9th January, 1997, pp.29-30.

  • Harry Clay: Career and Personal Chronology, 1865-1925
    HARRY CLAY: CAREER AND PERSONAL CHRONOLOGY, 1865-1925 From "It Only Makes Me Love You More and More (A Heart's Confession)" Courtesy of Clay Djubal Table of Contents Personal Details ................................................................................................................... 2. Miscellaneous Information ..................................................................................................... 3. Chronology ........................................................................................................... 4. Songs Known to Have Been Performed by Harry Clay ......................................................... 24. This chronology is an updated and expanded version of Appendix K, which appears in the 1998 MA thesis, "Harry Clay and Clay's Vaudeville Company, 1865-1930." Much of the information in that Appendix was drawn from the primary sources located during the course of the research undertaken during 1997 was presented primarily as an additional research aid. Many of the details are included within the body of the thesis, although some extra information which relates to Clay, but not considered necessary to the thesis itself, has also been included. This AVTA version, first published on 6 March 2012, includes details located since 1998, and serves as additional resource to the Harry Clay biography. In some instances details have been added to that biography (and can be identified by PURPLE font). NOTE: Within the "Chronology" section are addresses where Harry Clay and his family are thought to have resided each year. During the early years, when he was often known as Henry, there appear to be at least two people by the name of Henry Clay living in Sydney. As I have not yet been able to establish which one is the subject of this thesis I have included both addresses. Furthermore, it must be mentioned that the addresses given during this early period, even when only one is included, must be treated with caution, as I have been unable to prove beyond doubt that such abodes were in fact lived in by Clay.

It includes stories of individuals, families and communities living near one another and links between adjoining suburbs, regions and countries. How important were class, the economy, gender, governments, the media, race, religion and sport in the formation of ideas regarding neighbours? How have attitudes regarding a nation’s geographic neighbours determined defence, foreign, immigration, refugee and trade policies? Did new types of communication and transport from the nineteenth century onwards radically alter how neighbours and neighbourhoods were perceived? As the success of the Australian television program Neighbours shows, the theme has long been a significant component of popular culture.

[1] From the beginning of the Great War, Sydney women, mostly conservative, founded and joined Red Cross branches and sewed, knitted and raised funds for the war effort. They also worked in Voluntary Aid Detachments both locally and overseas. By 1918 the Red Cross effectively owned the story of the war effort at home.

  • February 2009-Reserves in Oatley. Part2
    page 1 Oatley Heritage Group Projects. Month & Year of Topic Topic Written & Spoken Presenters February 2009 Reserves in Oatley. Part2 Alec Leach Within Kogarah Council page 2 Reserves in Oatler Presented to the Oatley heritage group's Annual Meeting. Friday 27th February, 2009. Compiled and presented by: Alec Leach. There are six Reserves and two that are classified as Gardens which are located in Oatley within Kogarah Council's control. I will begin with the Oatley Memorial Reserve and Gardens, The Douglas Cross Gardens and then followed by the remaining Reserves. Oatley Memorial Reserve Fortunately for the Oatley people, the area originally used as the railway line between Oatley and Como was not sold off after the line was regraded in 1905. From the south it begins at Neville Street, is flanked by Oatley Parade and Oatley Avenue and is bordered to the north by Frederick Street. There are two playgrounds. A formal one at the southern end, whilst at the northern end, together with swings, is a wooden train that is popular with children of all ages. The Oatley ANZAC Memorial is located beyond the running track and basketball fields. The Memorial was moved from its original location on the comer of Neville and Letitia Streets in 1962. This area then became the Oatley Memorial Reserve. Beside the Memorial are a Canon, Propeller and an Anchor, they depict the three armed services. The Canon is a 25 pound field gun used in the British and Commonwealth armies during World War 11 and was used by Commonwealth forces until the 1970's.
