'What I did on my Holidays' - an exhibition of photographs by Charlie Jeffs - Opening Night Thurs 12th - 8pm
Charlie Jeffs is a U.K. photographer from Whitby, North Yorkshire who is currently based in Adelaide,South Australia.
The atmospheric light and rugged glory of the North York moors was the inspiration in the early days of Charlie's photographic career. Since leaving her native England in July, 2006 Charlie has spent the last year in Brittany capturing with her lens the unique lives of the Northern France fishing communities. Before flying out to Australia, Charlie travelled to Paris, France where she produced a unique series of photographs depicting the light and dark shades entwined in this magical city. Upon arriving in Australia, Charlie has embraced the unique light and lifestyle of the Australian people, flora and fauna.

Drink a Local @ The Wheaty
The Wheaty has dedicated one of its taps to the best South Australian brews from the best South Australian Microbreweries.
The Wheaty’s Local Micro Tap pours a handpicked Local Beer of the Month and punters have an opportunity to talk shop with the brewer on the 1st Wednesday of every month.
The next Local to return to our taps will be Lobethal Bierhaus followed by Brewboys (Regency), The Steam Exchange Brewery (Goolwa) and The Barossa Brewing Company (Greenock – currently pouring).
After earning their stripes in US craft breweries, local lads Alistair Turnbull and Phil Jones opened their all-grain Lobethal Bierhaus in May 2007, specialising in characterful, all natural, handcrafted small batch beers (www.bierhaus.com.au ).
In the words of Bierhaus brewer Alistair Turnbull, Lobethal’s IPA is “an intensely hopped, bitter golden-copper ale brewed using the finest available malted barley, a blend of British variety hops and traditional London ale yeasts. The malt bill is comprised of a blend of three different malts (Traditional Ale as the base and then Munich & Crystal as Specialties). To this Challenger hops are added early in the boil (for bitterness) and a combination of Fuggles, East Kent Goldings and a touch more Challenger are used later in the boil for flavour and aroma before fermenting with London Ale yeast. IBU’s are into the fifties.” Lobethal IPA was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2009 Australian International Beer Awards.
We’ll also be pouring a keg of Strong Golden Ale later in the month; “a rather warming, Belgian style strong golden ale, gentle on the hops and very fruity in character. Not for the faint hearted, this beer tips the scales at just over 10% Alc by volume.”
Drink Bierhaus IPA and Meet the Local Brewers from 6-8pm
The Wheatsheaf Hotel Wednesday 4th November

UPCOMING GIGS:
**************************************************
FRI 13th - HENRY MANETTA - $15- 9pm
As a singer, dapper, diminutive frontman Manetta has a range to be envied, and a cadence all his own. His voice is almost an instrument in its own right: all rhythm, part melody, and scatt-a-tatt punctuation. With sax solos straight out of the late forties Chicago night and mid song applause in earnest appreciation, people dance like they’re part of the band, such is the power and connectivity of the music.
SAT 14ST NOV - ADRIAN'S FAMOUS SECOND HAND BOOKSALE! - 12-6PM

SAT 14th - ILLICIT EVE w LITTLE UNIVERSE - 9PM
Formed in 2004, Illicit Eve is a feisty rock trio from Adelaide consisting of 2 head banging blondes and a tight rhythm section to boot. Featuring potent riffs, and explosive yet polished vocals; from power chord clichés to heart-melting ballads, Illicit Eve has something for everyone.
Earthy, emotive and honest, 'Little Universe' deliver quirks and subtleties from the soul. Long time partners in crime Kate Henderson and James Dean fuse bright acoustic sounds with subtle melodies and striking lyrics that showcase a notable musical connectivity.
SUN 15th - THE HOLY SEA - 4PM
2007 saw the triumphant resurrection of The Holy Sea as they returned from a five-year hiatus to release their acclaimed second album A Beginner’s Guide to the Sea.
