Soundwave Festival 2013

4 March 2013

By Trenna, with an intro from Greg

Introduction

I had always planned on including this story from Trenna’s iPad. As I read it I can tell that she has done a bit of a download of her brain to get it down in print whilst still fresh in her memory.

I feel sure that she hoped to come back to it in future and elaborate on some of the comments. She either never got around to it, … Read the rest ... “Soundwave Festival 2013”

THE Rolling Stones Concert – Part 2

By Greg

As the title suggests, this is the second part of the story, the first part is here.

Near the Stage

So there we were, in the tongue pit with Tren’s great friend Sue, who she probably hadn’t seen for a couple of years, and Sue’s sister, Judy.

“Ahhh! You’ve got the same top as me!”  Both have a black (of course) “It’s only rock n roll” singlet top.  Judy has a different, but equally cool Stones top.… Read the rest ... “THE Rolling Stones Concert – Part 2”

THE Rolling Stones Concert  Part 1

By Greg

The time had to come in the life of this website when I had to write about THE Rolling Stones concert.  For one reason I have HUNDREDS of photos Trenna and I took at the concert, and for another, Trenna and I had such a good time.

The Very Earlier Story

Trenna told me that she was keen to go to the Rolling Stones concert, at the WACA grounds in 1973.  She would have been 16 years old … Read the rest ... “THE Rolling Stones Concert  Part 1”

Moshing With Black Sabbath!

By Greg and Trenna

Reliving the Experience

Looking through Trenna’s iPad I came across the document she wrote to review/record the Black Sabbath concert we went to along with a friend, Adrian. It was the first time I had read this piece since 2016.

It immediately brought back memories of a really fab night. I also found some of the turns of phase pretty entertaining.

I will put her writing below, in the main body of this post but also … Read the rest ... “Moshing With Black Sabbath!”

The Fourth Kitchen Tape

Recorded 13 April 2018

Before we Start

[GM: As the title suggests, this was the fourth of 24 recordings done at our kitchen bench in Kensington, Western Australia. As part of the preparation for putting it on this website, in February 2022, I asked our friend Helen to read through this transcript and the one from 7 June 2018. Below you will find some of Helen’s comments interspersed. My thanks to Helen for doing that.]


GM: OK, so it’s the … Read the rest ... “The Fourth Kitchen Tape”

Soundtrack of Trenna’s Life

By Greg

Setting Some Context

On 15 January 2021 a celebration of Trenna’s life was held. I wanted to hand out a postcard which had a picture of Trenna and a couple of links to a playlist I developed after Trenna passed away a few weeks earlier. I then put up a Facebook post to help people to click through to the playlist.

That Facebook post appears below and I have embedded the Youtube Playlist and the Spotify below.
