The Australian Guitar Festival
For all fans of great Aussie guitarists, come to the Lewisham Hotel on Saturday 4th October and join this vibrant musical journey of blues, rock and more with three amazing artists.
Headlining the show will be the man known to have single-handedly turned more Australians onto blues than any other performer, Phil Manning. Phil has been a blues icon since 1968 as one of the founding members of the band Chain and has spent the past three decades appearing at major festivals and venues across the country.
The second act is rock and blues guitarist Steve Flack, best known for his Guitar Heroes show, which serves as a tribute to the very best guitarists, like Hendrix and Clapton and has involved many famed Aussie guitarists such as Ian Moss of Cold Chisel.
The final act is Matthew Fagan, a ten-string guitarist who is renown for versatility and genre splicing. His repertoire spans from rock to bluegrass to Celtic to Latin American and he always has a new surprise for his audience.

Sydney Rope Festival
For those unaware of this event, this is no study of mere weaves and knots; it’s a celebration of Japanese Rope Art. Generally known as Shibari, literally “to tie”, this is a form of erotic bondage, but rather than kept to the bedroom, it is exhibited as an art form. This event will be held at the Sydney Rope Dojo in Leichhardt and will feature Japanese headliners Kazami Ranki, Hajime Kinoko and Hourai Kasumi. Certainly not to everyone’s taste, but there is an undeniable beauty to Shibari that has to be seen (or felt) to be understood.
