This week on Talking ArtZ with The Professor...We welcome back Barbara Lepani for the fsecond in a regular monthly segment for the Enlivenment Network. In this thought-provoking conversation, Barbara shares the bold vision behind a new Singer-Songwriter Showcase for the Blue Mountains—a grassroots music initiative seeking to give voice to our turbulent times through local lyrics and live performance. Inspired by artists like Bob Dylan, Archie Roach, and Missy Higgins, Barbara speaks to how songs can help us navigate a world of collective trauma, climate anxiety, and political upheaval.With plans to host a series of open mic events at On The Soul Side Café, culminating in a final concert at a major local venue, this project is about more than music—it's about community, cultural resilience, and intergenerational collaboration.Later in the show, we also hear from Gill Nicol, seasoned arts communicator and educator, as we explore how storytelling, experience design, and engagement are central to meaningful arts practice.📻 Tune in to Talking ArtZ, only on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1FM or stream it online at rbm.org.au.📅 Thursdays at 6pm🎧 Podcast version available Fridays on all major platforms.#TalkingArtZ #RadioBlueMountains #EnlivenmentNetwork #BlueMountainsMusic #SingerSongwriterShowcase #ArtsForChange #CommunityRadio #BarbaraLepani #GillNicol #CulturalResilience #SociallyEngagedArts ...

Blue Mountains Live, tonight at 7pm afterTalking Artz at 6pm, on rbm.org.auBlue Mountains Live - This Week's Episode with Carl Hemmings aka The Greater TapestryThis week on Blue Mountains Live, The Professor welcomes local singer-songwriter Carl Hemmings, known musically as The Greater Tapestry, for a wide-ranging conversation that dives deep into the craft of songwriting, life in the indie scene of the '90s, and his creative resurgence here in the mountains.Carl shares the story of his musical journey — from playing in punk and indie rock bands in his 20s, to raising a family in the mountains while quietly honing his songwriting skills, and now stepping boldly back into the spotlight with a powerful new single, “High Water Mark”, produced by Timothy Haye. Their collaboration is creating beautifully crafted indie-folk with what Carl calls a “limited palette sound” — rich, focused, and emotionally resonant.We also hear about Carl’s upcoming release, “Eagle’s Flight at Night”, due out in just a few weeks, and his presence online under The Greater Tapestry across Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, and Apple Music. Don’t miss his live streams and updates as he gears up for more local gigs.Plus, as always, The Professor wraps up with the weekly Gig Guide, pointing you toward the best live music around the Mountains — and maybe a few suggestions for where Carl should take the stage next (hint: On The Soul Side Café, The Alex, and Hotel Etico are all on the radar).Tune in, turn it up, and support your local music scene!Blue Mountains Live – Thursdays on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1FM More info & links: open.spotify.com/track/3XYEbiTaA8KpOpCIWMNiOW?si=w__W969uQPCWmlyFIkwjUQopen.spotify.com/track/5hW8l0hOCJDWWL0rq5d3vw?si=gSnVrVLOSbSYMqB8KxGD7gwww.facebook.com/share/15S7HFXG5d/?mibextid=wwXIfrtwitter.com/aleague10?s=11www.instagram.com/thegreatertapestry/ ...
