Barry Adamson (UK)
21-06-2008
Barry Adamson has been doing things differently ever since he strapped on a bass guitar, scoring the chart single, Shot by Both Sides while playing for ex-Buzzcocks singer Howard Devoto's Manchester based Magazine as a teenager in late Seventies.
When Magazine disbanded, five albums later in 1981, his definitive touch was spotted by Nick Cave of The Birthday Party, with whom he played several times. After that band’s final implosion in 1983, Barry became a founder member of The Bad Seeds, along with Nick Cave, Mick Harvey and Blixa Bargeld. He appeared in four of that band's albums.
Fast forward to 2008, Barry’s eighth solo album, Back To The Cat, reflects a life’s dedication to the Big Themes both in music and life and is his second release for his own "production home", Central Control International. It is The Big One – the boldest, most brilliant album of his career. Barry finally makes his long awaited first solo tour of Australia. Mr. Adamson will be accompanied by a full 5 piece band and will be performing selections from his entire solo career to date.

Her work has not gone unnoticed, as in 2006 Norelli was nominated for a WAMI for best jazz act.
2008 sees the release of Norelli’s debut EP, Piano Noir, to be launched July 12 at The Bakery. It will be a night of cabaret-themed revelry, with the support of the sassy Caitlin Cassidy and Jane Peacock (doing a set of cabaret standards), the ever-enigmatic Will Stoker and and others to be announced.
