Editor’s Note
There are two people in the world when you hear the words “Life In Technicolour”. You either think of the joyous mandolin-led opening track and part two of Coldplay’s 2008 Viva La Vida or you think of the vibrancy of New Years festival Beyond The Valley. We sit in the latter, ready to shred the monotony of the daily greyscale and sink into the technicolour festival fountain of Beyond The Valley. Returning for 2024/25, Beyond The Valley is oozing with vibrance and their teaser campaign has us feeling radiant. In a first, editors collide to discuss the beloved festival’s re-emergence.
In beautiful synergy, this issue is popping with colourful characters from San Cisco’s light-filled album and regional tour, the bold and brilliant creations of design brand Dowel Jones, the neon rays of Voodoo Glow Skulls, the shades of blue that Sarah Carroll brings, to the green and gold that surrounds local Olympian and gold medallist hopeful Mia Gross. We also chat to Australian music industry veterans Kate Ceberano and Brian Cadd and dip into hot streaks of Cooper Alan and Bootleg Rascal.
On the food side, pubs, pastries and plenty of wine are at the forefront with Bellbrae Estate, Meredith Hotel, Midtown Cellars and Bar, Interlude Café and Charlie Bakery inviting you into their menu.
