Bluesman / Songwriter Earlwood Greg is celebrating forty years of blues and songs by organizing some very special concerts.

Having played with, supported and promoted some of the finest acts over the years, from Dylan’s mentor Dave Van Ronk through to the Malinese maestro Boubacar Traore, from The Brewster Brothers through to local legend Jim Conway, Earlwood has learned a thing or two about what makes for a great night’s entertainment.

For this magic set of concerts he’s been able to connect singer/ songwriter Glenn Cardier (www.glenncardier.com) widely acclaimed as Australia’s very finest with the harmonica wizard Christian Marsh, 3 time Golden Harmonica winner at Tamworth. This, one of, series of concerts will cover every possible combination of the three musicians. There’s even an all in jam at the end of the night to send the crowd home humming.

The show on the Central Coast completely sold out and ended with a standing ovation.

ARTIST STATEMENT: When in Paris I spend a lot of time in Cafes! I do lots of drawings whilst soaking in the atmosphere of Paris cafe life. I read books about Paris: Orwell’s ”Down and out in Paris and London", Hemingway's “A moveable Feast”, Aragon’s ”Paris Peasant”, and Zola’s novels, to name but a few! This series is the result of this experience and me being a "Flaneur" in Paris! Jouir de!

CHG DIRECTORS MESSAGE: New studio paintings from Matthew Perceval dating between 1978 to 2003 are also available for viewing on our website. Most of these works have not been viewed presenting a great opportunity to secure a painting from an earlier era. The themes of flowers, coastal bush scenes, Newcastle harbour, and the Kimberely Ranges in WA are represented. These paintings are available for purchase and able to be viewed by appointment at the Gallery.

As Matthew Perceval is a local artist with a strong following we envisage that there will be many visitors at the opening this Friday and it will be a fun occasion so be sure to arrive early!

Matthews new works from his up coming exhibition at CHG will be available online for viewing here following the exhibition opening.
