Heart of Annandale is completely run by the members of Village Church Annandale and is supported by the Inner West Council and generous local businesses.
Each year, Heart of Annandale has an exhibition theme to help springboard and focus our creative energies and provoke thought and conversation about our lives in the Inner West.
This year's theme allows us to consider some of the ways we've adapted to new circumstances and done things differently, particularly in the face of challenges. But it doesn't just have to be about human experience - you could consider physical or natural environments, industry or ideology. Perhaps you'd just like to delve into some good old adaptation - take the theme where you will!

This Thursday will be our 200th Johnston St Jazz!
Very happy to be celebrating it with Loretta and Mark and you guys.
Loretta Palmeiro and Mark Isaacs compose their music together on the spot, in real time, and without any safety net or roadmap. Demonstrating how music can elegantly respond to change, the duo draws on intuition, imagination and innovation as they take listeners on a remarkable and evolving voyage. The results can be delicate, furious or passionate: proof that unpredictability can be a beautiful journey even when the destination is unknown. Their music navigates through all boundaries between jazz, classical music, new music and many other genres.

Feature album this week on ABC Jazz!
Iceland is a long way away. It was a very long way in 1915 when this photo was taken. But Melbourne has seemed very distant this year, and we are very exited to have our first interstate guest for the year - Robbie Melville, 2019 winner of the Instrumental Category of the International Songwriters Competition, against 19,000 others, judged by none other than Tom Waits.
Antelodic is a chamber jazz trio featuring the unusual combination of guitar with two saxophones. The woodwinds - Gideon Brazil (tenor saxophone) and Monty Mackenzie (alto saxophone) - often perform the role of rhythm section, allowing the guitar to become the melodic voice. The music combines meticulously arranged, densely notated compositions with moments of improvisation and sound sculpting, reaching beyond the traditions of both classical and jazz to create a style very much of its own.
Have a little look : youtube.com/watch?v=CSAJvqIS0e0
Ronny Ferella (also from Melbourne) will open the night with his drum-focussed Spartacus Collective. It will be awesome.

Risby Walters Project: The first gig by a new group formed by Bill Risby (piano) and Craig Walters (sax) to play their original compositions, also featuring the immensely talented Lloyd Swanton on double bass and Nic Cecire on drums.
Their music is influenced by various elements from around the world, including music from Brazil, gospel music, and some of the wanderings reminiscent of the ECM record label.
Craig was born in Dunedin NZ, studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and settled in Sydney. If you think he looks familiar but can't work out why, it's because he's played with Michael Bublé, Harry Connick Jnr, Franki Valli & The Four Seasons, The Temptations, Rene Geyer, Marcia Hines, Tina Arena, James Morrison & the Sydney Jazz Orchestra.
Bill was the first person to perform at Eight Oclock Sharp in Glebe 21 years ago, and has performed for us many times since. He has also played with a long list of legends, but he was behind the piano so you didn't notice him.
Tilly the dog will not be performing, although we do acknowledge and support dogs as creators and audience members.
BYO red wine and pasta.

Trevor Brown-electro-acoustic solo
Trevor has spent almost half of each year in Europe over the last decade, performing in forests and castles, new music festivals and street carnivals. He plays flute and saxophones and clarinets, he plays with electronics, he plays with fire. The last time he performed for us was as the conductor of the Sydney Improvisers Composers Kollektiv Orchestra, the biggest improvising band I've ever seen in this country.
On this occasion it will be just him presenting an innovative electro-acoustic project, playing solo live interactive electronics, creating symphonic improvisations that flow from deep evolving ambient textures to infectious grooves.
BYO birra or rakia.

Everybody remembers the first time they saw George perform. Whether it was last year or 20 years ago, whether you were a kid enchanted by his style or a professional amazed by his skill, you remember the day you were first struck by the Washo genius. And most of us remember the most recent time we've seen him, and most of us wish it happened more often.
George will sing and play the fiddle
Sam Dobson will play the double bass
Barney Wakeford will play the grand piano which Ron Overs has continued to lend us

Lifting one of the steel sections of the pedestrian/cycle bridge from the Rozelle Railyards to Railway pde at White's Creek into place. Thursday 21 Jan 2021. Video at youtube.com
Trumpeter & vocalist Eamon Dilworth has been trudging around Sydney performing social music inspired by the crescent city for over 4 years now. First with Low Down Riders & more recently with his outfit Crawfish Po’Boys. Longer yet though is his friendship with Steve Barry harking back 10 years when they were students at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, practising together and sharing long conversations over red wine and apple pie.
This performance is a foray into songs they’ve written but also standards that have become folklore with inspiration from Dr John, Professor Longhair and Preservation Hall Jazz band.
The music was sensational & the connection & rapport you built with the audience was just amazing, so much fun! You got the whole bar rocking, laughing & singing along – even me, & I never, ever sing in public!! Speaking for myself, I can honestly say that was the best night out I’ve had for ages – & I go out a LOT! Caroline Buckingham Owner/ Licensee Butchers Brew Bar
So refreshing to hear the infectious vibes of New Orleans music infused with the grimier sides of swagger 50s roots coming out of Aus. Makes for potent and addictive love medicine!
Nathan Cavaleri
BYO red wine and apple pie
Nine months ago, on the 12th of March 2020, we held a Women's Jazz Tribute Night. It was a fantastic night. And although we had been offering hand sanitiser and pushing chairs apart for months before, we had no idea that it would be our last live gig at Annandale until now.
This Thursday, please wear a mask when you're not eating or drinking, please book ahead so we can plan the seating, and please come to our first gig for 2021!
For our first gig of the year, we wanted something joyful, acoustic, complex but playful, music to lose ourselves in. Accordian, clarinet, two gypsy guitars, and double bass passing the music between them in lovely and often surprising ways. it's rhythmic without drums, tuneful without a chorus, definitely dance music if dancing was allowed. Mostly original compositions which make as much sense in 2021 as they would have in 1921.
