This was a superb night of  high energy explicit poetry and great hip-hop/rap music, challenging and, above all, highly entertaining.

The three warm up acts, which covered the first hour,  included a multitude of inspired poetry pieces.

The  show started with  Gloria Demillo who captivated her audience with her performance.

Anthony Anaxagopou, guest poet from the UK, followed Gloria, delivering hard-hitting poetry, tackling  heavy subjects such as sex, politics, and our place in the world…

The final support act was  Lorin Elizabeth from beautiful, downtown Wollongong. The feature was her fast paced delivery, Then it was time for interval.

After the break, Candy Royalle strode on stage and aided by her band, the Sloppy Joes, together with an amazingly energetic dance routines by Betty Grumble, presented all the songs from her new album, FRIDA PEOPLE in a rap performance delivered with plenty of heart and soul.

FRIDA PEOPLE played the Sound Lounge at the Seymour Centre over three Thursday evenings, the 20th and 27th November and the 4th December.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
