Drew Dymond MANAGER ALBANY ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE 1 Dennis Wellington MAYOR, CITY OF ALBANY Entertainment, arts and culture contributes to the vibrancy, heritage and activation of our city and region, and plays an important role in tourism and economic growth. Since it opened, Albany Entertainment Centre (AEC) has provided a modern, contemporary and world-class regional venue supporting arts and culture, and especially local talent. The City of Albany is extremely proud of the talent we have in our community and the rich and entertaining performances and events they create. From artists and musicians to school concerts, exhibitions, theatre productions and more, Albany is full of home-grown fl air that has been fostered and supported by the AEC for the past decade. Whether it’s the Albany Wind Ensemble, Albany Academy of Dance or Sinfonia attracting sell-out audiences, the AEC and the shows it hosts have continued to receive high praise from all corners. It was the fi rst major construction project on the Albany Waterfront in 2010 and with its architectural form, has become a landmark that represents a hub for creativity and expression. This year represents an important milestone for the AEC, and we’d encourage the community to embrace the celebration and support the local and visiting concerts and other performances throughout the year. We’re proud to continue to support the AEC so it can continue to support arts and culture within our community, I look forward to enjoying this year’s program and encourage everyone to attend.

She recently reflected on her entire history with men and concluded that maybe it was time to shut up shop. ‘Whatever it is that I’m selling, a lot of straight guys simply aren’t that interested in buying it and I’m including people like my father.’ In amongst exploring stereotypes and her own desires, Judith Lucy will recount her full history with the opposite sex and leave it up to the audience to determine whether she should ever date again. Should Judith hang up her vagina for good? In 2019 Judith did a massive sell-out tour around the Capital cities asking this question, but she wants a second opinion.

  • For Immediate Release: Thursday 9Th August 2018
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THURSDAY 9TH AUGUST 2018: Following the success of the inaugural SummerSalt concert series across Australia last Summer, Zaccaria Concerts & Touring are thrilled to announce the first Summersalt concert event of Summer 2018-19. SummerSalt continues to deliver cream of the crop artists to the great Australian outdoors as it announces two of Australia’s finest artists – The Waifs and Pete Murray with strong support from Busby Marou, Mama Kin Spender and Carla Geneve performing live at Hotel Rottnest on Sunday January 13th, 2019. SummerSalt takes place in some of the most picturesque locations around the country. On top of showcasing the best of home-grown and international bands, it also brings cultural attractions, placing a very heavy emphasis on local community and sustainability. With sun, salt air, and sweet music to wash over Thompsons Bay at Rottnest Island, SummerSalt will create the perfect setting to dance the afternoon away with your friends on the sand or chill in the awesome venue of Hotel Rottnest. Soak up some Summer sun under the spell of some of the country’s finest Australian talent. A trip that began in a van in 1992, playing gigs anywhere in Australia that would have them has led The Waifs to multiple ARIA Awards, platinum albums and successful tours across the world. With a career spanning 25 years off the back of relentless touring and ground- breaking records such as Up All Night and A Brief History, the hard yards in those early days paid off in terms of their career, but also bound them together as friends.
