Successes from Newcastle: Silverchair, Charlie from hi-5 (maybe important to draw in very young generations)
Up and coming: Mojo Juju... other artists featured on Triple J's unearthed from Newcastle, Bye Bye Birdie, Errol J.M and the trade secrets...
Conservatorium students and staff
Other established music groups
Somehow identifiying indigenous talent to be included...
Ideas to explore social and cultural being, heritage and future:
The foreshore
Beaches
Harbour
Parks
Vineyards (perhaps too much of the hunter rather than newcastle)
One of our main cafe streets... Darby or Beaumont
Honeysuckle
Heritage of a mining town
what are we becoming? Information, education (uni, schools) a place of research, working harbour, travel, gateway to hunter... perhaps a way to promote newcastle not just as a landing pad for travel to the vineyards put a place to stop, stay and appreciate
Important landmarks: customs house, Bogey hole, king edward park, fort scratchley (convict heritage), Queens wharf
Around Newcastle allowing for greater accessibility- if some can't make one event perhaps they can make another.
Appreciating different areas of the city
Allow for greater diversity and perhaps draw on different audiences?
Can offer different paid and unpaid events
Indoor and outdoor concert venues which really change the atmosphere of performance
Problems- doesnt bring a large group together as a music festival would in one day hence perhaps not achieving the social aim as much?
Music festival-
Perhaps on Newcastle foreshore, bringing in aspects of local culture (harbour and beach, drawing on cities heritage of a coal mining town and maybe establishing new cultural links, binding the celebration of music with our natural assets of the beach and beautiful parks)
Local artists
Perhaps Indigenous
Those who have already become successful, initally from Newcastle e.g. Silverchair?
