Live in the Hive - Endrey & Nick Craft

Welcome to the first Live in the Hive Backyard Session this Friday 13th

It's been a confusing year for performing artists, Endrey is no exception, having released a self-titled album during lockdown. This will be the first full show since that time and the sublime lineup of soulful singers and instrumentalists are delighted to put on a great night for all. Nick Craft is a singer songwriter from Canberra. He released his debut solo album, Minerva, in late 2018, after years of playing in bands including Sidewinder in the 90s, the Zillions in the 00s, and as a touring guitarist for other acts. He is currently working on a set of experimental songs in his I am singing in a room project, and a follow-up to Minerva.

'Sweetheart'

Patrick Morison is a Queanbeyan artist that won The Hive Exhibition Award in the 2019 QPRC Regional Arts Awards.

 

With a bold use of colour and line, this show will bring both portraits and scenes inspired by Lake Burley Griffin and seeing birds within the landscape.

 

“My paintings of the female are inspired by a fondness for beauty in the human face and figure” Patrick explains. “They have particular reference to Hugh Ramsay, a great Australian painter of the late 19th and early 20th century, showing a beautifully composed and sensitive love of his subject.”

 

Opening Wednesday 25 November 6pm

Runs: 25 Nov - 19 Dec  Wednesday to Saturday 10am - 4pm

Performance and Poetry with a difference

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam translated by Edward Fitzgerald

 

"Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough, A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse – and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness – And Wilderness is Paradise enow." 

 

Omar Khayyam, 11th century Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher and poet, composed some hundreds of rubaiyat (quatrains) and, in 1859, Edward Fitzgerald made a major contribution to English literature when he rendered 75 of the verses into English. Though bibulous, sensuous and irreligious, the rubaiyat became a favourite for recitation in Victorian and Edwardian parlour soirees and, later, were to be found in the kitbags of many soldiers in the two World Wars.

 

In a new approach to the text, Phillip Mackenzie is joined by Fleur Millar and dancer Kirsty Duncan in a witty and wistful conversation between the ageing poet and his youthful, if slightly more worldly, houri.

 

BYO snacks and drinks; doors open at 5pm for a 5.30 free performance.

Donations will be welcome. Enquiries Phil 0407 905 970 or Helen 0403 994 446
