  • VASE in Social Media Ask and You Will Receive...* * Make Sure You
    NEWS July 2013 It’s a story heard all too often: another friend who is faced with having to deal with the diagnosis of a life threatening illness. Ron Delbridge, long time friend and VASE supporter is currently going through this battle. As helpless as we all feel to deal with this relentless disease, we gain some strength in being able to do whatever we can to support and encourage the person affected. A group of generous and talented folks have planned an event to show their affection, concern and support for Ronnie. The flyer below has the details. VASE will be there. Hope you will be too! Vic Kena, pictured left is helping organize the event. PA is being provided courtesy of Tonepacer Live Production (http://www. tonepacer.com) with backline from The GBH Rock Shop (http:// www.westendmusic.com.au). Vase will supply guitar amps. Vic Kena and Ron Delbridge on the VASE stand at the 2010 Guitar Show in Brisbane Ask and You Will Receive...* Received a note recently from Paul Smith: “ I see that Epicure (a Ballarat band, if I’m not mistaken) have some history with Vase. I will have to check out your Facebook page for the videos. Epicure has been one of my favourite bands for some years, especially for their sublime blues guitar and bass tones on the “Goodbye Girl” album. I was very disappointed when they broke up a few years ago, as I never got to see them live. I would love to know more about their use of Vase gear in their studio and live career.

  • Meet Killing Heidi in Airlie Beach Win a Backstage Rendezvous with Australia’S Favourite Rock Siblings
    For Immediate Release October 18, 2018 Meet Killing Heidi in Airlie Beach Win a backstage rendezvous with Australia’s favourite rock siblings If ‘Weir’ or ‘Mascara’ are the songs that take you back to 1999, don’t miss the chance to get up close and personal with the band behind them in Airlie Beach. Fans who buy a three-day pass to the Airlie Beach Festival of Music from now until October 31 will be entered into a draw for a meet and greet with Australia’s favourite rock siblings, Jesse and Ella Hooper. The lucky winner will be taken backstage an hour before the band’s main stage performance on Saturday, November 10, and will walk away with a photograph and signed merchandise. Frontwoman Ella Hooper said she and Jesse always loved meeting people who appreciated their songs. “Part of the reason for returning to the Killing Heidi material has been the positive response from our fans,” she said. “So definitely come and check out our set at the festival. “We play all our hits and songs that people know and love – from ‘Weir’, ‘Mascara’ and ‘I am’, (as well as) some old more eclectic favourites.” Jesse Hooper said Killing Heidi couldn’t wait to rock Airlie Beach. “We haven’t played up there for over a decade so we’re looking forward to some sun and great festival tunes,” he said. Festival founder Gavin Butlin said there were so many Killing Heidi fans it would mean the world to any one of them to meet their idols in the flesh.

It has been accepted for inclusion in The Qualitative Report by an authorized administrator of NSUWorks. For more information, please contact [email protected]. From Isolation to Collaboration: An Autoethnographic Account Abstract In this paper I explore my personal experiences with collaborative music performance projects. Collaborations between different groups of musicians can be a transformative moment in the lives of students and music educators. The process of collaboration provides opportunities that cannot always be achieved when an ensemble performs alone. Many of these projects were undertaken in my role as a music educator responsible for school music ensembles but in one case, as a conductor of a community band. This idiographic auto-ethnographical study is based on my own reflective journal, which was analysed using Autoethnography and Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. The themes identified include: Isolation versus Collaboration, Social Interaction, and Music on a Grand Scale. The findings support the idea that there are considerable advantages for engaging in collaborative performance projects, which cannot only be musically enriching but provide unexpected social and cognitive benefits.
