Having Photographed at Womadelaide for over 10 years now I have captured a LOT of images, but I still speak to people in my home town of Adelaide that don’t really know what Womadelaide festival really is so I’ve scoured my archives and selected a batch of images representing World, Music, Art and of course Adelaide over the last 10 years. For those who are regulars to Womadelaide it will be a trip down memory lane, For those that have never been they can see what they have been missing out on.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers

One of the big drawcards for the Adelaide Superloop 500 Final race day on Sunday was the Lineup of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers playing the after race concert. So much so that a lot of people bought tickets to the “race” but only went to the concert and boy was it packed. I got to the stage mid way through the Support Act –  George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic but could still only manage to get as far as about 50 metres from the stage area but still managed a handful of usable photos only pulling the camera out a few times during the relatively short 90 minute set.

Womadelaide 2019 Playing Times

With only 3 weeks to go its time to plan your must see artists at Womadelaide. Some Acts will only play a single performance so if there is one you really have to see prioritise it and make sure you leave enough time to travel to that stage. Full Schedule up HERE

For those new to Womadelaide the travel time from the furthest stages can be 15-20 minutes at a brisk walk.  Stage 3 is the furthest stage to the East near Hackney Road. The longest walk is from there to the Novatech stage near Frome road.

Keep an eye out for the APPs out soon for Android and Apple. These apps are great to schedule who to see but I’d suggest grabbing a hard copy from the event in case your phone battery gets too flat.

Sunday at 6pm on Stage 3 sees our local SA based talent TK Maidza play her style of Rapping. I caught her a few years back at Laneway Festival in 2015.

Womadelaide 2019 is not far away now so heres a short preview of some of the artists I have had the pleasure to see and capture previously. John Butler Trio last performed at Womadelaide in 2008 and the show was quite mesmerising. It is the first time I had seen JBT

John Butler Trio

 

TKay Maidza is an Australian Hip Hop artist who although small in stature has a super powerful voice and stage presence. I caught her early on in her career at Laneway Festival in 2015 and looking forward to seeing her again at Womadelaide 2019.

You can see more images of Tkay here

The Bamboos are also playing this year at Womad with their infectious danceable funk/soul music with Kylie Auldist belting out powerful vocals with Lance Ferguson on lead and a fantastic backing band to round off the sound. See more images of the Bamboos playing at the Gov here

and of course returning after performing at Womad in 2015 is the visual spectacle that is The Colour of time. Expect to end up with some colour on your clothes/face if you watch this amazing performance as Powder “bombs” are set off.

 

This is only a handful of the acts playing at Womadelaide 2019.

Don’t forget that Kids under 12 are free with an accompanying paying Adult.

Super8 Scans

Ive recently been digitising my Parents collection of Super 8 footage since it’s rarely been seen in the last 20-30 years due to lack of equipment to play it. Most of it has now been captured and now the process to edit out bits that may be relevant that other people may want to see. A few technical things also need to be carried out which are time consuming. Slowing down the frame rate to make it match reality, Denoising the footage and changing Aspect ratios so that it doesn’t look stretched when watching on a HD screen.

There is lots of different footage but will include

  • Penang, Malaysia 1966 – 1969
  • Sydney and Regional Australia circa 1970
  • Adelaide and in particular Blackwood/Hawthorndene in the early to mid 70s
  • Europe 1974/1975
  • USA 1977

and a lot more including some footage from The Birdman Rally on the River Torrens in the mid 70s

The 2018 Adelaide Zombie walk was held in Rundle Park Adelaide on Saturday October 13th. No photos from me at all this year just video footage which I have edited and squeezed into a short video.  Apologies to those zombies that got cut in the edit. There are a LOT of you and If I put you all in it would be over and hour long.

Enjoy the Adelaide Zombie invasion taking to the parklands and streets

Every year the people of Adelaide embrace their inner Zombie – unless they are already at that stage through natural causes and take to the streets of Adelaide for the Annual Zombie walk. The Event is open to the public and is free but participants are encouraged to buy a wristband which allows them entry to the best dressed Zombie competition and other perks such as entry to clubs after the walk, cheaper drinks and lots more including getting squirted with fake blood in the splatter tent pre walk. Proceeds from these donations go to Foodbank

Here is the video of the 2017 AZW with the prewalk footage, the walk itself and a bit of the after party/ DJ

The 2018 Adelaide Zombie walk is only 2 weeks away held on October 13th 2018 starting in Rundle Park, Adelaide.
