Newstead Short Story Tattoo arrives
again in May 2013 championing storytelling in all forms with an infectious,
seductive and engaging arrangement of sessions such as Survival Stories, Horror Stories, Earth Stories, Sticky Stories,
Sisters Salon, Nano Narratives, Scripted Stories, as well as the signature,
outdoor, surround sound, storytelling extravaganza Fire Stories. In a fine
moment of cross collaboration and date synchronising, Newstead Short Story
Tattoo is also presenting an event at Clunes Booktown, entitled ‘Stralian
Stories. The writers, fighters, talkers and speakers are also impressive
including the modern hunter-gatherer Rohan
Anderson, Cate Kennedy, Courtney Collins, Josephine Rowe, Amy Espeseth, Greeg
Macainsh, Jordie Albiston, Frank Golding, Dr Fred Cahir, Leonie Stevens, Kate
Hood, Carmel Bird, Klare Lanson, Patrick Pittman and Andrew Mckenna to name but a few. Musicians are also in abundance and
include Archer Shepherd who’ll be
playing the Tex Morton Story, Melbourne’s
own international tech-rockers Black Cab,
David Thrussell, the sweet-folk-pop Lucy Jean Roleff, Phil Mac playing the saw
and telling road stories, before Andrew
Til winds up the Pioneer mixer and tells stories through his music
library. Der Kommisar will also be hammering out 80’s tunes in the
Zombie-Goth-80’s disco post Horror
Stories at the opening night party. For all details check the website.
