Live Reviews with Lyndon Blue
STEELEYE SPAN @ THE OCTAGON THEATRE, SUNDAY OCTOBER 11
My hair, I quickly discovered as I entered the throng from the university’s dark, dewy, chirping surrounds – was of a minority group, insofar as it was of the non-silvery variety. Unsurprising, really – we’ve gathered to see a band formed 40 years ago who’ve remained largely unknown to generations their junior, so Steeleye Span’s prospects of drawing youths away from their Playcubes and Gamebox 64s were never great. Which is a shame - they were soon to take us by the wrist and lead us through a labyrinth teeming with more magic than Final Fantasy XXIV.
The gatekeeper to Steeleye’s mysterious maze was amicable Scotsman Gibb Todd, whose support-act lantern flickered across the room’s 8 or so walls, the ebbing glow of simple but deftly delivered folk-beams. Sure, it was generic guitar-n-bearded-geezer folksy business, and every song followed more or less the same framework of fingerpicking and downtuned chord inversions; but it was easy to ignore this when he was so endearingly earnest, proficient, witty and Scottish. So much so that the entire room – and, in an anticlimactic pre-show appearance, the members of Steeleye Span – had no qualms about joining the chorus of the shanty-esque ‘Will You Go With Me Annie’ with gargantuan gusto.
Now to say “the five members of Steeleye Span who then emerged were not very stylish” would be an understatement akin to “Charles Manson was not very nice.” In honesty I can’t recall ever having seen five worse dressed people (I mean really – Crocs?) – but against the odds, such superficial concerns dissolved when Ken Nicol extracted from his Stratocaster three glorious chords – with classic Steeleye tone, brittle, sharp and gleaming, but lost in a sooty cloud of disintegrating fuzz. They looked a little worse for wear, but this was definitely Steeleye Span. And thus we climbed into their warm gypsy caravan and set off into the trans-temporal pan-dimensional labyrinth; past pubs where wizened fishmongers play Shove ha’penny yelling ‘Seagull!...’ weaving about blacksmiths’ forges and Victorian beaches, winding up at
‘The Ballad Of Tam Lin’ – a tale of old; forests, evil faery queens, trips to hell, Hallowe’en, lovers and transmogrification – unfolding over the pages of a sometimes sparse and psychedelic, sometimes fierce and intense, musical storybook.
I was spat out of the Steeleye realm like a watermelon seed, but one Arts faculty vending machine coffee later I was reeled back in – now to an even more intense set of performances. The soaring voice of Maddy Prior has not lost its allure – though the high notes are discernably less effortless nowadays – nor has the violin prowess of Peter Knight diminished, both points being proven in the extreme with an fiddle/voice duet that made way for an extended piece of mind-boggling improvised wizardry from Knight. They sang of Lady Charlotte Stanley, who defended Lathom House for four months against besieging parliamentarians in 1644 (it’s a history lesson too) before the chugging prog-folk hit ‘Thomas the Rhymer’ – another tale of Tam Lin. After doing the silly ‘we’re finished but not really’ thing, they returned to deliver their
rollicking seminal 1975 (via 19th century) classic ‘All Around My Hat’ – and a somewhat dubious finisher in a rockabilly reworking of ‘Hard Times For Old England.’ Along with Jethro Tull and Fairport convetion, Steeleye Span were once stretching the boundaries of folk music to breaking point with their prog-hardrock-trad-everything freakish hybrid styles so in a way it’s sad to see they’ve ceased navigating unmapped new musical territory - and though they’ve retained a palpable degree of rock grit, they’ve also inevitably mellowed. Still, it’s a testament to their inventiveness that their sound remains unique - and to their tenacity that on their 40th anniversary tour, the skillful spell of these spic-and-span sorcerers has yet to wear off.
Steady Eye with Tahlia Palmer
It’s true. Hazelnut Rolls are being discontinued. Peters, the ice cream manufacturer who makes them, was bought out by Nestle in 1996. Being the multinational confectionary giant that it is, they’ve made some necessary changes, and have decided to cut some costs, which means getting rid of their least profitable products.
Choc Wedges, Hazelnut Rolls and Trumpets are confirmed, and I read a rumour that Twin Poles and Fruju’s are going too. Doing the research into this stuff has been very hard. I could find nothing about when the Hazelnut Roll was first created, or how long it was on the market. There is only one photo of a Hazelnut Roll in a Google image search. The only mention of it is in articles about the fact it’s being taken off the market, or a bunch forum threads in which boring people get nostalgic about their childhoods.
Once the fuss is over, once the milk bars sell that last little delicious chocolate coated vanilla and hazelnut ice cream from the bottom of the freezer, it’ll be like they never existed. It seems strange that there isn’t that much fuss made this time. A few year ago, Nestle wanted to take it off the market, and there was an uproar, with petitions signed and radio shows giving the petitions full support and then the petitions were taken to the high-ups, and then Nestle promised not to stop production. Now, there are a few facebook pages devoted to Hazelnut Roll nostalgia, but no hint of a petition was spotted on the internet anywhere. I don’t listen to the radio, but I’m sure a station like Nova would have picked up the cause, and if Nova makes a deal of it, then Rove and the 7PM Project would make a deal of it, which means MX (the Melbourne public transport
free publication) would make a deal of it, and I definitely would have heard about the plight of the Hazelnut Roll lovers fighting for their childhood favourite.
Does no one care now? Is it that no one cares if they can bond with their children over the flavours and textures they loved as a kid, because in the last few years they’ve resigned themselves to the fact that times do indeed change, and their kids will be learning maths via ipods and eating amazing snacks we could never have dreamed of? Or is it that Nestle learnt from their mistake and made sure they shut down production before they announced it to the public, making sure no one could get in the way of their money again? Yeahhhhh, probably the latter, with a little bit of the former combined.
There is some nice (nice? Maybe just okay) news that comes from this though. Nestle have decided to bring back Peter’s Drumstick. Take away the Trumpet, bring back that Drumstick. Ooooohhhhh, thanks Nestle, you’re so awesome, replacing one ice cream with another ice cream that is pretty much exactly the same. The only difference is a swirl of chocolate or something. Well done! Oh well. I don’t eat ice cream very much. I’m not really fussed. They were tasty, but Hazelnut Rolls were also messy. Not the best summer time snack. Golden Gaytimes are better for that. Or at least they will be once summer comes. I know you guys over in WA are getting some badass rays at the moment, but here in Victoria, it’s still icy cold. No good for ice cream cravings, so forgive me if I’m not so impassioned while writing about something you may feel strongly about. But I
doubt you do. It’s only frozen flavoured milk.
Editors Comment about the above Hazelnut Roll article
During the 80's my Father, in Winter would come home with a coke and a cherry ripe, in summer yepp you guessed it he'd come home with a coke and a hazelnut roll - I unlike Tahlia am a victim of Hazelnut Roll sentimentality..

WAAPA Supergroup
WAAPA has been a hive of activity over the last 2 years, with an incredible array of visiting artists including George Garzone, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, Paul Grabowsky, Katie Noonan, Scott Tinkler and Julien Wilson to name just a few. These artists have helped to raise the bar and the students are meeting the challenge, giving us exemplary performances all year round.
THE 3rd year jazz students at WAAPA auditioned to form a group to travel to Wangaratta Festival and represent WAAPA at Australia’s longest running jazz festival. The members of the ensemble all contribute material to the repertoire and rehearse intently for this prestigious performance. This year the group is made up Sean Little (Tenor Saxophone), Marty Duck (Trumpet), James Ireland (piano), Karl Florisson (bass), Sean Phillips (drums) and Amelia Ong (Vocals). Don’t miss this fund raising performance leading up to one of the biggest gig of their careers so far!
