VIBRATORS (The Cultural Impact of Licensing and Regulation for Small Venues and Bars)

Posted on by

On Monday May 7th 2012 Renew Adelaide hosted a forum at the Jade Monkey on The Cultural Impact of Licensing and Regulation for Small Venues and Bars. The forum featured Renew Adelaide director Ianto Ware, Format Collective director Stan Mahoney, Tuxedo Cat organiser Cass Tombs, West End Association President Andrew Wallace, Suzi Wong’s Room proprietor Nina Jerebica, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Premier Lois Boswell, and cultural policy guru John Wardle.

The Scenery were lucky enough to be included as conversation partners on the forum, joining an illustrious list that included; The Jade Monkey, Fnucky, Suzi Wong’s Room, The Adelaide West End Association, Tuxedo Cat, Udaberri, Music SA, Adelaide Fringe, Format, Magazine and Renew Adelaide.

The turnout to the event exceeded expectations, with the venue reaching capacity shortly before the forum was to start. Most sincere apologies to all those who were turned away. I must say that it was exciting to see a wide cross section of the community that cared enough about the topic to come in attendance.

I’d like the acknowledge the attendance of fellow Radio Adelaide family Jennie Lenman of Streetcast, Seb Tonkin of The Range on Tuesdays, Luke Penman of Local Noise, Luke Eygenraam of the Friday Range and the Live Sessions, and Ryan Winter of the Scenery.

The Scenery recorded the event with the much appreciated help of Ross from Northern Sound System. Paul Gallasch also videotaped the event, which will be available to view in the next coming days.

Please note that the sound quality is not extraordinary, and that non microphoned members of the crowd have been crudely amplified.

We can only hope that this is just the beginning of the conversation.

Support the venues that support “fine grained” Adelaide culture, and buy some damn beer.

The Doctor is in.

On this episode of the Scenery Ryan and Alex were joined by Negroni enthusiast Ianto Ware, and Nina Jerebica of Suzi Wong’s Room. The tireless Ryan Winter also had a chat with Daniel Randell, the general manager of Music SA about a proposed music training centre to be built in the Adelaide CBD.

We once again return to a topic of concern for the Scenery; liquor licensing. The eternal crusader Ianto Ware returns to regale us with the trials and tribulations of Hindmarsh cafebar/lounge Suzi Wong’s Room. On previous episodes of the Scenery, Ianto has discussed the lack of a liquor license classification for a small bar/venue. This lack of classification is currently preventing a host of small venue operators the relative ease of realising their goal compared with other states, not to mention it being an effective wall in the way of this city reaching it’s potential vibrancy. In order to give an actual example of the frustrations experienced by small venue operators, Ianto invited Nina Jerebica, manager of Suzi Wong’s Room, onto the show to talk about her experiences with liquor licensing, and the interpretation of licensing rules by licensing enforcement.

Music SA, headed by Daniel Randell, has proposed that a vacant three story building on Currie St become Australia’s first Music Industry Training Centre. It would provide courses for people wanting to work in the music industry, including promoters, artist and event managers, sound technicians, festival organisers and road crew. Importantly it would also re-enforce Adelaide and South Australia’s somewhat under resourced music industry. Ryan Winter catches up with Daniel Randell to talk about the project.

This week’s feature track comes from a split 7″ that we bought from Format before the show between Nothing People and Scenery favorites Mondo Phase Band. We played ‘Horseshoe’ from Mondo Phase Band which you can hear here and our feature track ‘Pride’ by Nothing People. If you don’t like fuzz then I can not help you.
