Last week we shot the first part of our new promo video with the fabulous guys from JJ Splice Digital at Surry Hills and Darlinghurst venues: Brix Distillers, Loluk Bistro and Tilly May’s. Two of our cast members are also fantastic photographers so we were very lucky to get some great behind the scene shots whilst on the shoot. We are shooting the second part this week so should have a finished product to show off very soon.
We are sure you are growing tired of posts about CV19, but we wanted to let you know where The Sydney Connection stands in regards to what has happened over the past two weeks across the planet. We have now gone into booking hibernation for April and May 2020. We have our online booking calendar open from June 2020 onward and we do expect this to change according to the information we are receiving daily, on the spreading of the virus.
Today we start our series "Support Local" in response to the current CV19 situation. Over the next 14 days we will publish a beautiful image from each of the small bars & restaurants who host us so graciously on our inner city dining walks.
Check out these great shots from our Crafty Dining in East Sydney event last week! This is our first stop at the Australian Design Centre. Where our guests were introduced to the gallery space by Director Lisa Cahill and her team. Featuring a couple of exhibitions including entries in the Profile 2019: Contemporary Jewellery and Object Award.
Our final stop was at Skarfe in the back streets of Potts Point. Brad dressed our ladies in silk & cotton and the room soon turned into a whirling bazaar of colour and sound as everyone tried out the merchandise. There was more excitement as the Kakawa Chocolates Sydney were opened and consumed on the spot.
Brown Paper Wine is the creation of Richard Powell, his mates call him all sorts of names: Richie, Dick, and many more colourful monikers. We first met when he supplied wines for a Surry Hills Creative Precinct function we attended a year ago. His passion and joy in introducing people to good wine was evident from the moment he poured us a glass.
We have always wanted to do an event with Skarfe since we stumbled across the tiny, colourful store in it’s original location on Roslyn Terrace. Owner Brad McGlashan - a fellow New Zealander - kicked off his business in the same year as The Sydney Connection began so we always had plenty to talk about on our instore visits.
In a past life we worked in the interior design business, selling furniture, ceramics and glassware to interior designers and their clients. When your in an industry you always want to know who your competitors are and what they are up to. So Stylecraft was on our radar and never failed to impress with it’s modern approach and vast showroom on Liverpool Street.
