IT'S RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW - IT'S THE INSIDE RUNNING - IT'S THE WORD ON THE STREET - IT'S...
BOOZE
BLUES
BOHEMIA
Since the 1850s, when the Elsternwick Hotel and the Terminus (now The George) Hotel,
St Kilda, opened their doors, hotels and clubs have provided meeting places - official and
unofficial - for the people of the area. They have thrown together artists, writers,
performers and musicians; spawned cultural and epicurean revolutions; and inspired
community activism and politics. They have hosted performers famous and infamous,
from Vanessa the Undresser to Iggy Pop, and housed such luminaries as philanthropist
Alfred Felton and writer Hal Porter.
"Booze, Blues, Bohemia" is a virtual pub crawl through this fascinating past. Gazing from
the front bar or through the bottom of a glass, stories will flow and memories surface as
we consider the contribution of our local hotels to life in St Kilda and its neighbouring suburbs.
The evening will be chaired by noted historian and one-time barmaid Clare Wright,
whose groundbreaking study of AustraliaÕs female publicans, Beyond the Ladies Lounge,
was published in 2003.
GUEST SPEAKERS
Jon Cattapan is a noted Australian artist whose Melbourne Panels, commissioned for the
National Gallery of Victoria, have just been unveiled. He has lived, worked and played in
St Kilda for many years, including formative years around St Kilda's early 80's punk scene.
Dave Graney is a self-described stud thinker, heavy entertainer, maker and purveyor of
highly enriched music, lyrical magician and master of time itself. His bands, including the
Moodists and the Coral Snakes, have played many of St Kilda's celebrated venues.
Kate Shaw was swept into community politics in the mid 1980s, juggling theatre and
festival work with campaigns supporting cultural diversity and participation in planning,
most notably through the Esplanade Alliance. She now teaches in the faculty of
Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne.
Gillian Upton is a local historian whose book The George: St Kilda Life and Times
won the 2002 Victorian Community History Award.
Graham Willett is the author of Living Out Loud, a history of the gay and lesbian
movement in Australia. His longstanding interest in Melbourne's gay and lesbian
history has inevitably drawn him to the south side of the Yarra from time to time.
