MUSOS CORNER TO FILL ALL AGES GAP As per Josh Leeson's recent article in the Newcastle Herald he describes how our sister company MUSOS Corner plans to plug one of the biggest holes in the Newcastle music scene by offering a state-of-the-art performance space for all-age performers and punters. Shortly after Newcastle-based company Winarch Group purchased the iconic store from co-founder Sandra Lindsay back in May, work began on turning former warehouse space into a fully-fledged live music venue. The performance space features a stage, lighting and sound system, bar tables and benches and is capable of hosting a crowd of between 100 and 150 people. The innovative toilet design even features a light and bathroom sink made from a snare drum and an acoustic guitar paper towel dispenser. Musos Corner store manager Brad Roulston unveils their new performance space. Winarch Group founder and director Paul Lambess believes that it should be "fun and cool" to come into a music store. "If you go into this music store you can actually hear live music," Mr Lambess said. "We think that's pretty cool and that's a first from what we can see." The performance space will also be used for school education programs and product demonstrations, and will be available for hire for album and EP launches, particularly in the all-ages space. Newcastle's all-ages scene has struggled for over a decade to find appropriate venues since the 2013 closure of The Loft. In the meantime venues such as Drone, The Commons and Softys Clubhouse have come and gone and the Adamstown Uniting Church have also held all-ages gigs. "Because this is not a pub or a club, it's part of a music store, that's an attractive thing," Mr Lambess said of Musos Corner hosting all-ages shows. #livemusic #livemusicvenue #musoscorner #newcastleherald

Great to be a part of this. Thanks to the Committee of Sydney, particularly Matt Levinson and Rosie Oldfield. Also to fellow panelists and presenters Solomon Charles Ashley Collis Jannah Beth and Shain Shapiro PhD for all their insights into this space.
The NSW live music industry pours $5.5 billion into the economy and employs over 14,000 direct workers. Music is undoubtedly transformative – boosting economies, connecting people and even shaping how cities are built and governed. So, how do we capitalise and better support Sydney's local music scene to ultimately improve the city's liveability and vibrancy? It's difficult to find one answer, but Shain Shapiro did an excellent job of offering plenty of insights and solutions. A music policy expert and author of This Must Be the Place, Shain shared his experiences from implementing successful music policies around the world. It was fantastic to hear from Solomon Charles and Ashley Collis on key findings from the groundbreaking State of the Scene 2024 report, which examines the current social and economic state of live music in NSW >> https://lnkd.in/gmyQX3_A. Shain and Ashley then joined Jannah Beth, Ewen Craig and Matt Levinson for a panel discussion on music policy in Sydney, tackling a bunch of thoughtful questions from the packed house – how do we provide better music experiences for local communities with different cultural preferences and drinking habits? How do we support more artists and live music venues amidst a cost of living and housing crisis? Some key takeaways from the report and discussion: 🪩 Major challenges include an expensive policing and security environment, as well as a fragmented music media landscape making it harder for artists to promote their gigs across so many platforms >> https://lnkd.in/dwQVmD4K 🎶 The way younger generations enjoy live music is changing. Drinking less and creating their own informal live music spaces outside the traditional ecosystem. We should lean into this and find ways to include them in all-ages music programming. 🎸 There is a collective push to make Sydney the place for live music. Audiences are returning to gigs, and they are generally positive about the overall strength of live music. We can't lose momentum now – more support for the industry, especially local artists, is critical. Special thanks to Art Gallery NSW, Rachael Hammond and Jonathan Wilson for hosting us, and Rosie Oldfield for wrapping us up with an enthusiastic vote of thanks! We're passionate about championing live music in Sydney. It's a huge advocacy focus within our Culture research program, and our Gig Economy report outlines key recommendations for supporting Sydney's music industry >> https://lnkd.in/gAXDvMsS If you missed Shain's talk, he's on tonight at Newtown's Better Read Than Dead >> https://lnkd.in/gHBp7rPY Adira Wiryoatmojo, Alicia Talbot, Aileen Robalino, Emily Copeland, Lizzie Butterworth, Ruth Carnac, Emily Collins, Ethos Urban, Sound NSW, Amy-Grace Douglas, Cedar Mill Group, Kyle McKendry, Paul Lambess, Sound Diplomacy, Create NSW, Roslyn Mayled, Hahna Busch, Phoebe Ludemann, Mark Crees, Ianto Ware, Augusta Supple, Tanya Ali

As the great Dr. Seuss said "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Over the last few months Cedar Mill Group has had the privilege of sending Julie Macdonald, Karim Haddad, Jason Zagame, Lizzie Harms, Andrew McKinnon and David Fortescue through the Level 5 Award in Crowd Safety Management course, delivered by our very own @jimfidler on behalf of Crowd Safety Training and Consultancy. We like working on BIG shows, and that inevitably comes with Crowd Management risks. We are thrilled that our team has consolidated their knowledge to continue bringing best practice planning for all the events we are involved with. A big thanks to Jim Fidler Fda,AVM and Crowd Safety Training and Consultancy - we can't recommend the course more highly! #crowdsafety #training #eventplanning #venuesafety #emergencymanagement #crowdmanagement #majorevents

With winter typically being a quieter period for Cedar Mill Events, our team has taken the opportunity to upskill in areas of interest, in order to continue to provide our strongest efforts for the upcoming season. Thanks to @crew Care and Support Act, team members Lizzie Harms , David Fortescue and Warren Phillip-Clarke, ChOHSP were able to undertake the accredited Mental Health First Aid Training. In an industry known for its challenges to mental health, Support Acts Mental Health and Wellbeing In The Music and Live Performance Arts Survey May 2022 identified that "people working in music or live performing arts reported a current anxiety condition at more than twice the prevalence of the general population in Australia, while the proportion of people with depression was more than two and a half times that of the general population". We are excited to provide our team with resources that empower them, benefiting both our staff and the multitude of entertainment professionals we engage with regularly. #MHFA #MentalHealthFirstAid #teamtraining #events #eventmanagement

A shout out to the Cedar Mill Events team for orchestrating their most diverse summer season yet. The team kicked off an exhilarating season with a bang, site managing some of the world’s biggest artists at the iconic MCG, witnessing record-breaking attendance of 96,000 fans each night across three unforgettable evenings and four electrifying shows at Marvel Stadium. Undoubtedly, the highlight was the nationwide spectacle of Fred Again’s series of unannounced gigs, where both Cedar Mill Events and Cedar Mill Risk Management played integral roles in making history across the Gold Coast, Sydney and Perth. Wrapping up the season with Pandemonium Festival in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as DreamHack Melbourne, the team are proud to have been a part of such exceptional experiences. We extend our thanks to all of our dedicated clients and suppliers for contributing to a massive event season that will be remembered for years to come. #livemusic #liveevents #musicfestivals #events #eventmanagement #CedarMillEvents and #CedarMillRiskManagement
