This episode of the Scenery originally aired the 2nd of December and featured the two founding members of the West Hindley Street All Male Cowboy Enthusiast Choir, Ryan ‘Cold Baked Beans’ Winter and Luke ‘Fat Guy Poncho’ Eygenraam.
This week on the Scenery, Dave and Alex were solemnly lead through the thick green carpeted corridors of Town Hall and brought before the Mayor, whilst in another time and part of town Sebastian Tonkin of poorly lit cello fame spoke to Jake One Holmes and Cassie Alvey about the new artist collective Tooth and Nail before its grand opening.
For the past couple of years, for me anyway, it has felt as though Adelaide was teetering on the verge of something good, at the cusp of a cultural revival that only seems to live in the rose coloured memories of those who experienced the fruits of the Dunstan era. In the midst of this came Stephen Yarwood who, through many a door knock and fresh idea, was elected Mayor. He was poised as the man that could finally untie the strings that had held down those aching to push this city into vibrancy. Dave Harden had a chat with the Mayor on a big leather couch.
