You’ve seen the “Spirits of the Hoey” book, the tribute to Sydney’s iconic Hopetoun Hotel by academics Liz Guiffre and Gregory Ferris, with the photographs of Bryan “Cookie” Cook. Now you can experience the live gig. Petersham Bowling Club will host “Spirits of The Hoey – A Live Love Letter To The Hopetoun Hotel” on Saturday October 31 and it’s a catalyst to convene a killer line-up with links to a much-loved scene.
Heading the bill is a reformation of Vrag, the band that would morph into Machine Gun Fellatio, with very special guest Christa Hughes on vocals.
Cathy Green - Hoey regular and member of bands like X, Hell To Pay, Universe, Automatic Cherry and Ian Rilen & The Love Addicts – is bringing her new outfit, Shiver of Destiny, from Melbourne for a special set that will include the songs of Ian Rilen.
Event organiser Edwin Garland is assembling The Hoey Barflies, a group featuring members of Box The Jesuit, Swirl, Laughing Clowns and Waxworks.
The classic line-up of The Vanilla Chainsaws will take the stage for the first time in almost 20 years. And Loene Carmen will open the night with a solo set with songs drawn from her long and storied Sydney career.
