I thought Sydney Loungers might be interested in the Blue Mountains Blues & Roots Festivals. I've bought my ticket & I'll be there Saturday. I'm especially excited because The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band have re formed. For those who don't know them (or are too young to remember) here's a recent youtube vid [video=youtube;um57-2hkFK0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=um57-2hkFK0&feature=feedwll[/video]

Shameless self promotion here:
my indigenous music project is touring Melbourne in a couple of weeks, not very retro to be sure, but unlike anything you've heard before.

A 40,000 year old culture isn't retro enough for you? lol

Boardwalk Empire is showing on pay TV channel Showcase tomorrow Sunday 27th March 2011 at 7.30. Unfortunately the only plans I know of for free-to-air are possibly on SBS some time in 2012

I haven't actualy watched it yet but I'm recording it.
Cloud Street is starting on May 22nd on showcase and looks really vintage and Jeeves and Wooster is currently on Channel2? during the day wed and Thursday.
We've started watching Prisoner from the first episode and it is hilarious.Can't wait till they bring back the Sullivans

 

[lolly_loisides]

I'm looking forward to watching Cloud Street. I really like Tim Winton novels so I have high hopes for it.

Thank you Lionel Rose.

I'm just pissed that it's only on Foxtel. being a swing dancer, a few of us are actually IN it from Perth. Shows like this should be on free-to-air
