22/02/02 - I'm sorry to have to bring you this news, but the planned 2002 soul nights at the Sydney Globe Hotel have been CANCELLED as of now (i.e. please don't show up for the February night!).

This was due to changes and restrictions by The Globe's new management which include:
* paying for a security guard in case of "trouble"
* finishing the nights at midnight
* and no bloody talc!!

Needless to say, it's left us with a not-very-soulful-feeling and we have decided to move on out of there.
We will be in touch.
Soulfully,
Alex, Maria and Lynda

01/02/02 - It seems S*K*A*M are breaking up. Unfortunate really, they were a great band, seems ska in Sydney is not all that healthy (Real ska that is). Highlight for me was definitely the gig they played at the Art House in Melbourne.

16/09/01 - The Street music zine and online CD store Pulped seems to have been bought out by some other company. Subscribers would have known their print zine and web site has become a disgrace content and quality wise, so I suppose it's not so surprising, but is still a little disappointing. The new company want £23.50 (Aus$60) for the right to by CDs from them at wholesale price. I'll believe it when I see it.

16/09/01 - The Australian Bluekilla dates have changed, apparently the Porkers management took over at least the Sydney gigs which means Bluekilla won't be appearing at the Tartan Heart Ska Klub. Go to the Bluekilla website for the full dates.

16/09/01 - Like the new site layout? As the end of the year gets closer, the site will get bigger.

13/09/01 - Dizzybeat wishes to express it's deepest sympathies to the victims and victim's families of the US tradgedy.
