FEAR OF ROMANCE by Joseph Earp – Opening Tuesday 29th August 6pm

Fear of Romance – Joseph Earp

“Fear of Romance is an exhibition of paintings by Joseph Earp.  At Tap Gallery, upstairs at 259 Riley St. Surry Hills, Sydney. Open every day 12-6 from Tues August 29 to Sat 3 September.
Joseph Earp is an acclaimed author, painter and poet, whose written work has been published in The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald and more. Fear of Romance is an exhibition of the paintings on which he has forged his name — works that combine dark humour, poetry, and heart. Drawing on influences as varied as David Hockney, Paula Rego and the poet Frank O’Hara, Earp’s work blends text and image into sometimes horrifying, often humane visual experiences.”

Michael Kennedy 10 Years Past - a celebration Tap Gallery

Michael Kennedy 10 Years Past – A Concert of Celebration

Michael Kennedy 10 Years Past

Sat 12th August 7pm for 7.30pm start
at Tap Gallery 259 Riley St Surry Hills $20 supper incl

Michael was a unique performer once heard never forgotten. He wrote gorgeous, lush songs with lyrical poetic words that soothed and uplifted. He was also a strident voice for social justice. His soaring voice amazed and enthralled all the more astonishing that he had a double lung transplants to heal his cystic fibrosis. His love of people and his wish to connect was a beautiful part of this incredible performer and incredible human. We need to enjoy his songs again and this will be a lovely way to do it. Artists such as opera singer Michael Handy, Christina Mimmocchi trio and Miguel Heatwole solo/with Judy Van de Klei and the Sydney Irish Ceili Dancers will make this a memorable night of beautiful songs and dance and love and respect for Michael and his contribution to the rich tapestry that is the folk scene in Australia.
