PRESS RELEASE ___________________________________________________24th September 2008____ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



"A musician, singer, clown and poet – all at the same time,
ronan/ronan is a magic trick in himself"
La Nouvelle Republique
"in the pursuit of bubbling genius"
La Nouvelle Republique

AUSTRALIA TOUR 2008
25th Sept to 31st October

Magic Roundabout Music Promotions, Café Lounge, Splash Industry (FR) and Flying Fish Media are very happy to introduce French Chanson Bricolee musician Ronan/Ronan on his first tour to Australia......

 Banjo Player and singer of Fils de Teuhpu Ronan Guittier travels direct from the small french village of Montreuil to Australia
to perform his Solo Show Ronan/Ronan and launch his album "Copie/Colle".

With 26 shows throughout Australia, Ronan/Ronan will be playing an eclectic selection of Festivals and venues, starting with shows in the pristine World Heritage forests of Cape York's Wallaby Creek Festival to Brisbane Powerhouse to NZ Nelson Arts Festival to the beautiful Famous Spiegeltent at Sydney Opera House. With many dates in between, Ronan/Ronan tours to a venue near you to perform a very special show.

On the stage Ronan creates his music completely live. In a joyous bric-a-brac of colour, turntable decks,  children's toys and a box full of treasures, Ronan/Ronan creates his poetic, lyrical mayhem, performing light hearted yet haphazard songs that you may just find yourself singing along to!!

Surrounded by an array of different acoustic instruments and a loop pedal, Ronan experiments and creates his own musical universe – amusing, entertaining and poetic all at the same time. His performance is visually amazing and teeters on the edge of comedy and surreal musical madness.

Ronan's Instruments include Plastic train, banjo, 'moo' box, turntable, ukulele, hand-saw and log of wood,  the 'music star' toy, trumpet, aspirin, cymbals, 'squawk' box harmonica, whistle, small bells, door slamming, rustling of plastic bags and so on......

With his warm smile, a cheeky look and a loaded shelf, Ronan/ronan, the true one man orchestra, will wind you up like a clock!

Bonjour les amis!

Hope you're semester is going well, we're now past the half way point - what better way to celebrate this fact and the fantastic concept of a week's break than with an evening of good food and great beer or perhaps a casual game of pétanque down at the bowlo...

Both train and bus are convenient, just walk up Grosvenor St from George St then take the next right onto Harrington and you will see the Belgian Beer Café on your left.

A message from the USU:

Hi,

Next Monday the USU Public Issues Program is hosting an information evening and Q&A session on the upcoming Campus 2020 Masterplan as part of its "Politics In The Pub" series.

The forum will run from 4-6pm next Monday 22 September. The venue is Hermann's Bar, Wentworth Building, Cnr City Rd & Butlin Ave.  On this map, it is grid O18.  The event is free and open to all interested staff, students, and members of the public.

The panel will consist of Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof. Richmond Jeremy, City of Sydney Councillor John McInerney, Col James, from the Fell Housing Research Centre, Geoff Turnbull from RedWatch, and the President of the University's Student Representative Council, Kate Laing.

Sydney University has been a building site for many years now, and will likely be so for many more. What will the campus of 2020 look like? Would YOU want to be a student or staff member there? What effect will this construction have on student housing, the University community, and our interactions with our surrounding neighbourhoods?
Our expert panel will discuss these issues and more.

Be sure to come armed with questions, suggestions and comments, and please forward this email onto other interested parties. After all, it's your campus!

For more information, see the information panels in Fisher Library, read the Bull magazine article, or download the Campus 2020 Masterplan at: http://www.usyd.edu.au/ab/about/docs/Campus_2020_Masterplan.pdf  (1mb).
