Mean Fiddler Hotel

It is the point where talent and passion meet that you will find Anna Weatherup. A remarkable singer and songwriter, Anna is committed to the journey of succeeding at her craft.

Her career so far is a story of dedication and drive. A Townsville girl at the age of 13, Anna taught herself the guitar and has played live gigs for over 7 years. The childhood dream she still carries with her is to play to her own sold out concert; this is the goal she works towards everyday.

Her music is an acoustic blend of folk and country, but Anna never misses an opportunity to rock out a little too. Her positive personality gives her a captivating aura when performing and she takes to the stage like a person born to be there.

Her career highlights so far include supporting music legends Colin Hay & James Reyne on their respective tours. She also performed at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and spent time in London recently playing a series of very well received gigs. Her bright future will see Anna’s performance skills continue to grow with plans to travel through America and hit the Australian festival circuit.

Two years after the success of her debut E.P, Truth, Anna has released an album which turns her life lessons into honest and beautiful music. To her, music is about connection and she tells her journey simply through the ethereal grace of her voice.

After The Storm is an album full of moments you can relate to. From the infectious and happy “Answered Prayer” to “Miracle” a song you can’t help but pause and reflect upon, this album is an honest and gracious step for the young singer.

If you’re interested in experiencing the joy that is Anna’s music, you can find her on myspace, www.myspace.com/annaweatherup and iTunes. She also performs regularly, so check out her website www.annaweatherup.com for more information.

How do you capture the essence of a man like this? One so light he nary leaves a footprint? One with fingers so fast, like a hummingbirds wings, you’re lucky to see them at all as they dash across the 1’s and 2’s? One whose scent engulfs a room in a cloud of smooth with just one pirouette? One with tunes so deft they swim through your head and straight to your heart? That’s the problem one is faced when attempting to encapsulate the transcendental nature of BENI, an enigmatic one man path to enlightenment through that age old ritual know as dance. This path is now being most luminously lit by his new release My Love Sees You.

BENI’s upbringing in the world of techno was harsh and goes some way to explaining the physical and metaphysical place he finds himself in today. From a formative age he was led astray by a group of gypsy ravers otherwise known as The Bang Gang Deejays, and his education at the school of beats, rhymes and life saw long days and looooooonger nights, spent in clubs from Paris to Penrith.

Following on from The Bang Gang’s worldwide uprising, BENI went onto to release a couple of bonafied #1’s in Cameroon and Moldova under the Riot In Belgium guise. The Acid Never Lies and La Musique also became staples in any self-respecting DJ’s treasured box, including the musical catacombs of 2 Many DJ’s, Tiga, Felix Da Housecat, Boys Noize and Tiesto.

Now though, the sun has set on the Riot In Belgium, and BENI is going solo with Paris-based label Kitsune, with his virgin solo voyage, My Love Sees You, to be released in the autumn. Under the BENI guise he has already remixed the likes of Tiga, Digitalism, Fischerspooner, La Roux and Sneaky Sound System, and now the onslaught of the incredible original dancefloor kinghits begins!

The 808’s may be new to some, but the individual behind the name has been in the music business for well over 8 years. “The 808’s” The 808’s are set to be “the fastest rising act of the dance scene” The 808’s are on the express way to major international success with no speed limits”



The 808’s are DJ, producer and Songwriter Aladdin Royaal featuring guest vocalists and performers. “The 808’s” named after the original Roland 808 drum machine.

The 808s are armed with infectious hooks and the versatility to produce all genres across the board from electro, house, pop, rnb, hiphop and rock. And that’s exactly what you will find in the upcoming album with strong catchy pop rock melodies complemented with sexy house basslines with a twist that rocks the floors wherever they are played.

The Bounce Crew represents the musical alliance between MdoubleU and Repete, which was conceived, developed and delivered during an energetic set at the sold out October 2009 TFM Beach Party. The friendship started years ago when they were regularly booked at the same clubs, but the real fun began when they decided to join forces mixing party beats to electrify the crowd leaving them begging for more.

In this Short time Bounce Crew has shared the bill and many a drink with Internationals such as The Freestylers, Solo, Housemeister, General Midi, Arno Cost, Classixx, The Bloody Beetroots, MSTRKRFT, Kid Sister, LMFAO, Erphun to name a few and Countless National dj's.
