Presented by halfway
Its been 10 years since Halfway’s Any Old Love was released and in celebration Halfway for One Night Only will perform the critically acclaimed record cover to back.
A QUEENSLAND classic, but you don’t have to know anything about the settings, the landscapes or the backstory to be swept away by Any Old Love. The songs alone are enough to do that, wherever you live.
Like any great piece of art, and I have no doubt that Any Old Love is that, everything is there before you to discover for yourself. It’s the kind of album that gets into the marrow, that keeps you thinking about it even when you’re not playing it, rich in layers and details, in the lyrics, in the instrumentation, arrangements, even in the cover art.
If the listener seeks extra guidance there is a glossary in the liner notes to explain certain references, that the Shakespeare Hotel is in Barcaldine, that Callaghan Park is the home of the Rockhampton Jockey Club, and the stories behind racehorses such as 1995 Melbourne Cup winner Doriemus and Dulcify, the favourite for the 1979 Cup who broke down in that race and was put down.
There is a theme which connects the songs on this fourth and finest album by Brisbane band Halfway, and that is based on stories imagined around the Shakespeare and a central character who is an ex-jockey working out west.
Any Old Love was produced by Robert Forster. Recorded by Phil Graham at QUT Gasworks Studios, Brisbane. Assisted by Tom Hunt. Mixed by Phil Graham. All mixing & overdubs at Electric Monk Studio, Brisbane. Co-produced by John Willsteed & Peter Jesperson. Mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service.
NB: This is a STANDING Event. There will be a limited number of seats available for those that need them.
