SUMMARY:Festival of the Voice!
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the inaugural…\nFestival of the Voice!\n24 concerts\, recitals\, musicals and workshops\n9 days\n3 venues\n1 small town\nFestival of the Voice — a collaboration between Brunswick Picture House and Song Dynasty Music Events — is a celebration of all things vocal from rap to slam poetry to solo\, ensemble and choral singing. From Janet Swain — singer\, songwriter\, choir maker: \n“Ever since I started making choirs 30 years ago I have attempted to make interesting performances — candlelit 4 hour extravaganzas on dark winter’s nights\, kids choirs\, senior’s choirs\, multicultural choirs\, choirs by the sea\, choirs on tour\, and huge combined choirs for large scale community events. When I first moved to Byron Bay I immediately formed several groups\, culminating in the Song Dynasty Music launch. I travelled to Uganda to work with African Children’s Choir\, and have so far organised three visits to the Byron Shire. When I look back and reflect\, it is such a logical extension that all of this experience\, hard work\, tenacity and belief in the innate goodness of choir singing has culminated in the inaugural Festival of the Voice here in Brunswick Heads. \nCollaborating with Brunswick Picture House — the natural home base for Song Dynasty Music Events — after two years of combined ad hoc choir work and performances\, means that the Festival has its own unique voice — a voice that combines pizzazz and showmanship with heart and community.” \nWith a packed program ranging from Shout Pray Sing to two hugely acclaimed shows by the incredible Michaela Burger to an extensive series of workshops — there is very much something for everyone.

There is currently 19 permanent staff in the core management team. \nRoles span across Ticketing\, Touring\, Accounts\, Contracts\, Site Management\, Production\, Stalls Coordination\, Travel & Accommodation\, Marketing\, Administration & much more. \nAt festival time the office transforms into a bustling hub of over 40 people working toward the pointy end\, and on-site there is over 600 people working around the clock for over a week to deliver you the very best festival experience we can. \nTHE MAN BEHIND IT ALL IS… \nleft \nPeter Noble; a music industry professional for over forty years whose significant contribution to the industry has been recognised with a multitude of accolades including\, most recently\, the Rolling Stone Award for his services to Australian Music. \nDrawn to music from an early age\, the Sydney-born bassist played in Rock\, Soul and Blues bands during the 60’s & 70’s\, taking leading roles with artists including Clapham Junction\, and Marcia Hines. \nFollowing extensive national and international touring\, Peter settled in the USA and set up Portland Oregon’s first International Jazz Festival\, and was house booker at legendary venue ‘The Earth’. \nPeter returned home to Australia at the beginning of the 80’s\, and became a pioneer for Blues touring in Australia. As a direct result of Noble’s efforts\, Soul\, Jazz\, Blues and Reggae artists were finding a home\, a promoter\, and a wide audience in Australia for the first time. \nHe began booking international acts in the inimitable Byron Bay (NSW north coast) with the East Coast Blues Festival in 1990\, and became a director in 1993. \nPeter coined the term “Blues & Roots Music Festival” in 1996 to encompass the growing reach and flavour of the festival – a term which would soon find common usage throughout the Australian music industry – typified when within 12 months the ARIA Awards created a Blues & Roots category as one of their major awards. \nHe became a pioneer for Blues\, Jazz\, Roots and Indie Music touring in Australia\, as well as running AIM Records\, which was nominated for two Grammys (Best Tropical Latin Album (Vocal or Instrumental ) for Greetings From Havana – Cubanismo and Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience which won the Grammy for Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album in 2008 and earned AIM the accolade as the first and only Australian independent label to win a Grammy Award. \nNoble has worked in many areas of the music business including record producing\, touring artists through his company Bluesfest Touring\, artist management\, setting up the Australian Aboriginal Artists Agency in the early 70’s\, event site development\, and festival presentations throughout Australia and South East Asia. In 2015 the Australian Music Industry Directory listed Peter in the Top 20 of most influential people in the Australian music industry. \nNoble’s long-standing dream to produce an Indigenous festival was realised in 2013 when he collaborated with leading cultural creative Rhoda Roberts\, producing the inaugural Boomerang Festival: a ground-breaking Indigenous festival for all Australians held at the home of Bluesfest\, the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm\, to extensive acclaim. \nAs the Director of Byron Bay’s multi-award winning music festival\, Peter is passionate about social and environmental responsibility and is immeasurably philanthropic; continually supporting myriad charities and community groups\, and ensuring his events uphold their commitment to environmental conservation and animal welfare. This is reflected in the festival winning six International A Greener Festival Awards since 2007. \nBluesfest is respected for creating ongoing employment and contracts for individuals and small businesses in Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers; a small regional part of Australia with limited employment opportunities. It contributes over $40 million annually to the NSW economy\, and has provided countless opportunities for local musicians\, artists and business people through performance platforms\, stalls\, and networks. \nFurther\, he has built a multi million dollar touring company in Bluesfest Touring\, which tours over forty international artists per year\, with ongoing partnerships with some of the world’s most successful and revered musicians including Robert Plant\, Ben Harper\, Joan Armatrading\, Michael Franti\, and Charlie Musselwhite. \nAn invaluable force in the Australian and international music industry\, Peter Noble is a tireless entrepreneur and ardent music aficionado whose work has shaped what is now cemented as one of the largest and revered music events in the world. \nHe spends his time working and living between Byron Bay and Bali\, and says “Life truly is an amazing adventure which I take on with wild enthusiasm on a daily basis”.

SUMMARY:Taste of Love Festival 2019
DESCRIPTION:THE TASTE OF LOVE FESTIVAL \n“The Tantric Path teaches us to embrace and unify the ordinary\, the erotic and the sacred dimensions of life\, all of which have their roots in spirit.”\nMargot Anand\nTaste of Love Festival is back with inspiring presenters on the topics of awakening\, love and consciousness and is scheduled for its 5th year anniversary in Byron Bay\, on 1-3 March\, 2019. \nMarion Ellyard\, Ron van Twuiver and the team are bringing together the ingredients for an event that aims to appeal to anyone looking to explore and deepen their understanding\, including a range of presenters from around the world offering sessions exploring various aspects of love\, relating\, consciousness\, sacredness\, connection\, sensuality\, sexuality\, yoga\, meditation and a diverse range of associated topics. \n“We are very mindful to balance the presentations around love\, relating and conscious sexuality in a way that is meaningful and approachable for anyone\, no matter their background or previous knowledge” \nIt is important to us that this event offers a safe and fun way for people to approach this material and understand what it is all about. Our European Peers have been involved in festivals like these for a lot longer and it’s nice to offer this to the local community of Byron Bay\, national and international visitors from all over the world. \n‘Why I see an immense value in this festival is because our life force energy\, also often referred to as ki\, chi\, serpent energy\, can lay dormant at the base of our spine or be only be partially activated. Once activated we can experience an immense flow of energy\, enthusiasm\, vision and joy for life and others. This is why we work with sexual energy throughout the festival as it often helps to activate this dormant energy\, also referred to as kundalini energy. Removing shame\, fear or misconceived ideas around this topic in a world where unfortunately most teenagers still get most of their sexual education online and from pornographic material. We are facing a 50% divorce rate worldwide and broken families. This work is all about strengthening and deepening relationships to self and others in body\, mind and spirit.” \nMarion organizes ongoing events in the local area together with Ron van Twuiver\, is a passionate mother and works as a counsellor in Suffolk Park specialising in trauma release work\, love and relationship coaching. (www.radiantlove.com.au). Ron van Twuiver works passionately with people in his personal practice of body-based healing work and moves people through deep transformation through ongoing workshops. (www.consensuality.com.au) \n“It is very important to me that we use this festival as an opportunity to deepen the conversation around healthy relating\, radical honesty\, finding our true selves\, our identity and purpose and include our sexuality in this conversation. To know this area sometimes gets pushed under the carpet and yet holds the key to unleashing our life force and using it healthily in so many wonderful ways. It is also important for us to create an event that not only showcases the leading edge of conscious relating and sexuality movement but to hold a safe\, inclusive\, space for everyone\, regardless of gender identity and expression. It’s worth an exploration if you are curious and it’s nice to have so many people return back each year for more. I feel very privileged to present this annual event.” \nThe Taste of Love Festival 2019 will again feature well-known presenters from all over the world such as Baba Dez Nichols (US) and Janine McDonald (AUS) just to name a few. There are local and national presenters kept in balance to support everyone\, musicians and artists whose work is highly regarded by peers and attendees alike. The full program is available on the website late 2018. \nThe Festival commences Friday late morning on March 1st 2019 at the Byron Bay Community Centre and runs until Sunday evening March 3rd directly followed by the Taste of Love Festival Live – in Immersion March 4-7. Here participants of the festival will have time to keep connecting in a relaxed setting\, with a light program\, delicious vegan food and have a holiday in the wonderful retreat place Paradise One. After the Immersion\, we will run the famous 7 day transformative ISTA training (Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Experience) Level 1 at a local magical venue at Paradise One as well. \nWith a full program of over 30 sessions in 3 streams to pick and choose from\, as well as 2 evening events on the Friday and Saturday night. \nPlease come and join us at ‘Taste of Love’ 2019 and become part of our family. \nTickets available now online at incredible Early Bird Prices. \nWith love\, passion and freedom!
