MUSIC CAFE SOUTH GRAFTON EMPORIUM

THURSDAY 25 JUNE. THAT’S THIS WEEK. Floods and Rains have interfered with the outdoor gigs. LUFFLEY Cafe has suffered over the last few weeks. NEVER FEAR! Unless the LEVEE Breaks – The MUSIC CAFE IN ON ! Indoors. Plenty of heating and dry seating and a fie collection of artistes and curries with Iz as MC for the night.
Could be a few surprises there. Charity of the night – could be PCYC – will verify the details. Blackboard spaces from 6pm onwards. Music from 6.30pm.

IZZY BEGINS SOME SERIOUS NORTH COAST TOURING

At age 60, Izzy is on the Road. This weekend he played LUFFLEY at Murbah, stayed with his mate, Scrubby, out in the hills and rehearsed with LILY WHITE from BEECHMONT. Then the HILLBILLY BLUES BANDITS headed into LENNOX HEAD to play at the Pub. 9pm.- midnight. Izzy hopped on his trike and headed home to the Clarence down the Pacific Highway.

He stopped in for some nourishment at WOODBURN, the allnight cafe town, and met up with the security crew from LENNOX POINT, then found himself in the Winter Mists along the River Flats. Ah! The life of the Wandering Minstrel ! 3.am. homecoming and then the first knock at the door of FOREALTY TOWERS.  A Sunday Morning Visit from the DOCS DISASTER RECOVERY TEAM.

Well, said Iz , Bertha the Fridge was lost in the muddy waters. A few forms filled in and photos taken by the extremely delightful Disaster Recovery Girls and Izzy just might be refrigerating his food once more.

LUNCHES AT WIDE RIVER CAFE

IZZY, once infamous for the Outrageous, has developed a real fondness for the Cafe Vibe. From Jamiesons in West Tweed and ILNAM WINERY in Carool, to LUFFLEY in Murwillumbah, he has played to and mingled with the Mobs that love their Music and Food combined. Down here on the Clarence he has played two EMPORIUM MUSIC CAFES and yesterday continued the tradition at WIDE RIVER CAFE in ULMARRA with Andrew Hegedus- Accoustically.

IZZY ON THE CLARENCE

Foreal Enterprises have now relocated to the Clarence River NSW. The relocation did manage to coincide with the Major Flood of 2009 which threatened their new premises and led to isolation by dark and muddy waters for a week. Izzy was unable to peform at the Greenmount Gig in Coolangatta with Scrubby ( BLIND WILLIE WAGTAIL) and missed two LUFFLEY Gigs despite a valiant effort to reach the 2nd one via the SUMMERLAND WAY. ________________ The gig he has been able to cross flooded waters and reach is the MUSIC CAFE at the EMPORIUM in SOUTH GRAFTON. Not a bad way to be welcomed to a new community. No cash involved but Iz says he’s being paid in cosmic tender. Music Cafe charges $3 entry and that $3 goes to one local charity each month. Izzy also says that its a good way to absorb the Grafton Musical Culture and begin to see where he might fit. Music Cafe covers an age range from schoolkids to elders and a wide  musical spectrum including harpists, rockers, rhythm and blues, banjo, novices, loonies, folk and one powerful rendition of Hallelujah by a young woman with an enviable voice and persona. Its on again next month – the last Thursday . 02 66 433525

MUSIC CAFE NIGHT AT THE EMPORIUM SOUTH GRAFTON “ You’re a very good singer” said one young lady.

IZZY IS NO LONGER DYEING

With the Attainment of his Majority, Izzy has plans.

Izzy Foreal is letting the ‘natural enhancement’ grow out of his hair: how bizarre will that look during the two-tone changeover?

IZZY FOREAL’S HAIR COLOUR: THE CHANGEOVER

APRIL 2009	MAY 2009

Izzy Foreal Okay, the change is only subtle so far, with a kind of white line across the top of the forehead, but it’s early days!

FEEDBACK FROM FACEBOOK FRIENDS.

..”Get a haircut & get a ‘real’ job”"……. LOL

Get a haircut son! Remember that?

iZ -Hey : Around Yennora we used to get “Seven Bob!” yelled at us through car windows – because that was the price of a haircut for many years in those times. I’ve actually got an almost-written jugband song called “Get A Haircut Mate They’re Seven Bob”, but I think the sentiment might be redundant.

Can we have regular pictures so we can visually go through the transition with you?

Onya, I think this is very brave of you… Your hair will probably grow very quickly….. & Lynne’s looks fantastic… I am soooo envious!

was it the cost?? try mission brown fence paintWow, the desconstruction of Izzy, live! in installments Riveting ! Fear not, for it is what is inside your big rude head that maketh the man

This is better than underbelly !

I’ve just watched Billy Connelly on the tv.. He’s gone ‘natural’ now & it looks great.. still long…. Just don’t be tempted to cut the black bits off when you have half and half I’ve been through the ‘grow out’… there are other alternatives…. put an 8 week rinse over the grey while its growing out to hide the two tone, then stop the rinse after its grown out.
