This week joining Hassan in the podcast studio is a real carp fishing character, Birmingham's finest and a man who has carved out an incredible media career in the industry which started way back in the 1990's, its none other than Jon “Shoes” Jones.We all know carp fishing is full of characters and nothing goes to prove that more than this podcast. From his early years fishing the likes of Patshull Church Pool and Yateley Car Park Lake through to his modern day thoughts on media and rig safety, this podcast covers a huge spectrum of carp fishing and gives you a fascinating peak into the mind of “Shoes”.Starting his angling based in the West Midlands which was and still is home for Jon, he instantly found a real affinity for catching carp. Early highlights included catching “The Pet” from Farlow's the lakes biggest resident as well as capturing “The Baby Orange” from the iconic Yateley Car Park lake. Jon fondly recalls memories of sharing the banks with carp fishing legends such as Rob Maylin, Ritchie MacDonald and Terry Hearn. He also tells a number of tales about the “antics” which went on away from the lake including some seriously funny stories about a certain pub scene at the time.Jon talks about his introduction to working in the carp fishing industry which came from Rob Hughes. He worked with Rob producing photography and video as well as appearing on tv with him. This time was an incredible time for growth in the industry and as Jon's network grew his coverage and presence on the carp fishing scene was cemented. This led to him later talking up various freelance roles providing various forms of media content for leading companies in the industry. Jon recalls stories of his times away and at home fishing and working with the likes of Steve Briggs, Ian Russell and Simon Crow to name but a few. It's a great look at how far he himself and the industry has come.Always know for thinking outside the box Jon shares his thoughts on carp fishing including experimentation and rig thoughts. He talks a great deal about being a responsible angler and rig safety which he feels isn't always of paramount importance in the modern scene. There's a very interesting look at his use of washed out baits and how this led him to great success on the infamous Birchgrove.Finally, Jon talks about modern day media and how the industry has changes especially for someone wanting to work within the industry. The podcast is an eye opening look at carp fishing from both inside and outside the industry. Whether you are after product development insight, baiting strategies or reminiscing about historic captures Jon packs it all in this podcast and all in his own quirky insightful manner.
Recording-wise, this is a relatively short episode because Yvonne Barrett was woefully under-recorded for an artist of her talent. Most would be aware of the circumstances of her tragic passing; murdered in a Birchgrove, Sydney apartment in 1985. In some ways, this is a story of a child-star moving into an adult world; Yvonne's stage career started at the age of 10. In 1964, just before she burst onto the pop scene, Yvonne told Teenagers' Weekly that her dream was to move into musical theatre; to play the lead in the musical, Gypsy, to be exact. So there's an element of unfulfilled ambition in this story. There's also many gaps in the story; not the least of which is why there was a ten-month gap between her 1st and 2nd GO!! label 45 releases. Finally, there's the question of how, the Vietnamese refugee, Hoang Van Truong, jailed for life for Yvonne's murder, managed to get unconditional parole in 1995 and then apparently vanish from sight. I do have some comments to make on this situation that may bring some finality to the mystery. It is a case of; enjoy the musical talents of Yvonne Barrett, and hopefully learn a little about how a life, so full of promise, could end so tragically.
We had a wonderful time with Christine at her house in Birchgrove where Fiona and I were treated to a beautiful homemade lunch with Christine and her husband, Marius. What a generous and lovely couple. Their house is full of amazing art, painted by Christine or collected over the years making it a treasure trove of curiosities.Christine is a full time working artist, exhibiting regularly in solo and group shows and teaches workshops too. Busy lady. Check out her website for more information. 'I am a figurative, still life artist who paints in Acrylic on stretched canvas.My work builds upon other Australian still life painters such as Margaret Preston in the use of Australian flora in the restricted workspace of the domestic environment.My current practice has pushed these limitations with a more esoteric staging that still holds a tangible quality, within the viewer's immediate spatial boundaries and with concrete reality. While at once centred and stable, the fragility of the environment is expressed through the use of delicate dried flowers and bush fire-blackened, banksia.The symmetry and balance of the works is a quest for calm amidst the current world uncertainty. The use of reflection and transparency is both a literal and spiritual call for truth and serenity.'Happy listening and thanks again Christine x
