The Art Cafe is the heart and soul of Higher Ground. Open daily for coffee and tasty treats the Cafe is where patrons and artists alike get their first taste of what we're all about. Fully licensed, with indoor and outdoor seating, this beautiful and spacious room overlooking Light Square is all about fresh food and fresh ideas!
It's not just about a chilled place to hang on a summer afternoon or a cosy shelter from work or study though, The ArtCafe is also a flexible event space that plays host to visual arts exhibitions and openings, conferences, workshops, private functions and parties and, of course, the best live music Adelaide has to offer.
The Songwriters' Workshop
On Tuesday 15 May, our special guest, Tristan Newsome, provided a few insights into his songwriting experiences. Through talk and song (but no mime) Tristan covered some of the key points made in his article 'The joys of songwriting in a pre-apocalyptic environment', published last year in SCALA News.
He spoke of murder ballads, the importance of quality lyrics, character songs, Nick Cave and much more besides. Great stuff.
Another good-sized turnout was kept engaged and interested by Tristan's exposition, and I think we can mark the workshop down as another hour well-spent.
The songwriters' circle kicked of with Daddy, another new song from Robert Childs, and was followed by two great efforts by David and Dave, in that order.
Next month (Tuesday June 19) we are planning to have an extended circle session, where the first hour will feature two/three songwriters for around 20 minutes each, looking for specific feedback on one of their songs. This will be followed (after a break) by the rapid-fire circle to which we have become used.
If you are interested in one of the three extended spots contact David Robinson at songwriters@bleakumbrella.com

Higher Ground can also host catered events and functions, business lunches, dinner or after-work drinks. Your wish is our desire, so don't hesitate to ask!
