Australian Blues Music Festival Comes To Goulburn
The Australian Blues Music Festival, now in its 16th year, is one of Australia's greatest music festivals down under bar none.
The festival wasn't always as big as production as it is today.
When the fest was in its infancy it was a privately controlled one-venue event. Today it is a multi-event festival outsourced via a private management company.
The festival actually happens at a wide array of venues and consists of mainly free performances, with a couple of ticketed shows.
Over the four day duration of the fest fans, media and everyone else has a chance to enjoy some of the favourite blues performers close up.

Thousands of antifascists, trade unionists and members of the local community marched in victory through Whitechapel today after the English Defence League failed in its bid to demonstrate in Tower Hamlets.
Only around 600 members of EDL made it to their final rally point – at Aldgate, outside the Tower Hamlets borough boundary in East London.
The racists and fascists of the EDL had bragged that they were coming to the heart of Tower Hamlets – “marching into the lion’s den” in the multiracial, multicultural borough. Despite a national mobilisation, they failed utterly.
Electric
Instead the day belonged to antifascists and antiracists, with an electric atmosphere of solidarity as white, black and Asian people, of all religions and none, came together.
Throughout the day, the antiracists gathered, with speeches, trade union banners, flags and music at the UAF/United East End protest close to East London Mosque, with anti-EDL protesters and local people also gathered directly outside the mosque and occupying key road junctions and streets to make sure EDL supporters could not enter the borough.
The groups converged at the junction of Whitechapel Road and Commercial Street in the afternoon and cheered the news that EDL leader “Tommy Robinson” had been arrested, along with 72 other EDL members before the racists and fascists were escorted away by police.
Railworkers
The first blow against the EDL was struck early by the RMT railworkers’ union, which prevented the organisation’s planned “muster” at Liverpool Street station, by threatening to close the station down if the violent racists were allowed to gather there.
They had already been refused any venue in Tower Hamlets, including Sainsbury’s car park.
The EDL were instead forced to gather at Kings Cross – after their fallback plan to meet at pubs in Euston was scuppered when the pubs declared they would not host the racists either. Their journey south was then held up when RMT members closed the tube station.
The EDL were eventually escorted by police to Aldgate. A group of EDL members, who went direct to a pub in Liverpool Street, showed the organisation’s violent character, throwing flash bombs, attempting to attack passers by and setting fire to a journalist who was reporting events.
Chanting
But the EDL were unable to enter Tower Hamlets, instead moving through the City of London to their rally point.
Tommy Robinson – who arrived at the EDL event disgracefully dressed up as a rabbi – was arrested there, sparking more scuffles between the EDL and police.
When the EDL had left the area, the antiracist protestors marched in their thousands back down Whitechapel Road, chanting “Whose streets? Our streets!” and “Black and white unite and fight, smash the EDL”.
As the march passed the East London Mosque, demostrators broke into spontaneous applause.
The mosque is the symbol of the area’s Muslim community – the particular target of the EDL’s anti-Muslim racism.
Afterwards, UAF national officer Martin Smith said:
Today we have won. We haven’t had anybody arrested. We have stopped the EDL coming into this borough. Tommy Robisnon has been arrested. We have marched on the streets today, the EDL have gone and we have won.
Speakers
The UAF/United East End demo had earlier heard from speakers including CWU deputy general secretary Tony Kearns, East London Mosque’s Dilowar Khan, former MEP Glyn Ford, veteran local antifascist Phil Maxwell, Terry Stewart of LGBT group Out East, former council leader Phil Maxwell and a range of other local trade union and community representatives.
Former mayor of London Ken Livingstone sent a message of support, saying: “This is a fitting response to those who peddle hatred and fear.”
Musicians and DJs added to the wonderful atmosphere of unity and solidarity, with trade union banners from all over the country lining the street.
Brilliant
The UAF/United East End mobilisation was called because it was clear that the EDL still intended to come to Tower Hamlets for a static demonstration, despite the home office ban on marching.
The aim was to show the greatest possible opposition to the racists and fascists and ensure they could not threaten the borough’s multiracial, multicultural community.
Today’s brilliant day of antiracist, antifascist solidarity showed why that was right.

I saw Chastity in the crowd during a multicultural event in Prince Rupert, BC today, I loved her hair so much I went up to her and told her so and asked if she would have her photo taken at a photo area that I set up at the event. Chastity is a local woman who is born and raised in the Prince Rupert, B.C. area.
It was an absolutely delightful event where many different cultures meet and share food and traditions of their origins. I set up a photo area and encouraged folks to have their photo taken and to practice portraiture skills. Chastity is one of the first photos to remind me to have 'models' keep some distance from the background to avoid shadows. I broke my 'cheap' shoot through umbrella and only had a silver reflective to use. I find the silver reflective a bit more difficult to manage!

Chastity is #7 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
Chastity is also my 8th submission to the Human Family Group. To view more of humanity and its stories visit www.flickr.com/groups/thehumanfamily/
