Going Down Swinging 27
t's arrived!
Going Down Swinging No.27 - a bumper issue, 148 pages of new short fiction, poetry, flash, comic art, plus a mini graphic novella by Nicholas Kallincos - and of course, a CD featuring some fantastic spoken word and sound art from around the globe, including two new GDS-commissioned works, by Carolyn Connors and David Thrussell. With cover artwork by Tom Civil that will alter your expectations of asparagus forever.
So we're here today to tell you about not one, but two launch events:
1. Sydney Radio Launch: Sunday 30th November, 9pm-10pm on 2FBi radio 94.5FM > Sunday Night at the Movies
It's a live radio launch! On community radio FBi, we're launching the issue with a one-hour special, featuring live to air performances from Adam Gibson & the Aerial Maps, and Miles Merril!
At 9pm AEST this Sunday tune into 94.5FM if you're Sydney-side, or navigate to www.fbi.org.au if you're elsewhere in the world, as Sunday Night at the Movies swings to the sounds of GDSNo.27 - with live performances, interviews, and GDS subscription giveaways! Featuring the marvellous Miles Merril and the amazing Adam Gibson (whose new CD is also launching now, and well worth a listen - we think it's the perfect long-summer-drive-to-the-beach-CD - find out more about that at www.blindingsunlight.com )
2. Melbourne Launch: Wednesday 3rd December, 7.30 pm at the Northcote Social Club - 301 High Street, Northcote
Literary gold diggers, we've struck a rich vein of spoken word and music for our Melbourne launch event next Wednesday night in Northcote.
Starring:
Jim Christy & The Trillion Band (Canada) + Kim Salmon (Melbourne rock royalty) + a new GDS-commissioned monologue by Dan Lee + Chloe Jackson Wilmott & Quinn Stacpoole + Ella Holcombe + Matt Hetherington + the musical atmospheres of Uber Lingua's bP.
Your MC for the evening: Michael "I live for the colour" Nolan.
The issue will be officially launched by Rosemary Cameron, Director of the Melbourne Writers Festival.
$12 will get you in with a copy of the issue in your hand / $7 will get you in, without...
Tickets available at the door, or from the NSC box office at 301 High St, Northcote (Mon-Sat 2pm-6pm), Phone 94861677.
No.27 will be in stores around Australia from 1st December, and available direct from us: www.goingdownswinging.org.au

We now offer one year and two year subscriptions, as well as special subscription prices for members of Australian writers centres, and 3RRRFM subscribers. Find out more at our website.

So, whether you are tuning in or turning up, we hope you can join us as we celebrate our latest collection.
