JIM WILDE

When I was nine years old, I went to see Hot Shoe Shuffle in Perth. I was a dance student at the time, and for months after seeing the show, my friends and I would tap around just like David Atkins and Rhonda Burchmore – singing It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) on repeat. Hot Shoe Shuffle arguably crowned Burchmore – our cover star this week – as Australia’s queen of musical theatre. Thirty years since that show premiered and more than 40 years since her professional debut, Burchmore talks about her decades in the biz and her current role in Hairspray at the Regent Theatre. ●

WINE

Yarra Valley winemaker wins top award for his prowess in the vineyard. JA N E R O C CA

TRAPPED PHOTOGRAPHY

Wo r d s

Victorious vines M anaging a vineyard and producing goodquality wine comes down to many planets aligning at once, says wine-maker Tom Carson from Serrat wines in the Yarra Valley. “The secret to good wine is having a good vineyard site, a good bit of dirt in the right region with the right soil type,” he says. “It needs to be facing the right way and set up with attention to detail and managed all year round.” Last week, Carson was named the 2023 Halliday Wine Companion Awards viticulturist of the year, acknowledged for his best practice in the vineyard. “We only get one crack at winemaking a year,” he says. “A bottle is two years’ worth of work – it’s one in the vineyard and one in the winery. “We don’t segment the jobs here, either; for us the process is more as wine growers. We work to produce the best possible wine from the best possible grapes we can grow and go from there.” Carson planted his first hectare in the Yarra Valley in 2001 with his French-born wife Nadege, trusting their instincts with pinot noir, chardonnay,

DOM A IN REV IEW

viognier and grenache. Today they manage more than 3.6 hectares, with 1.2 hectares dedicated to pinot noir, and employ the technique of close planting which is common in Europe. They have planted 8800 vines per hectare, which is more than more than four times the Australian average. One vine produces just one bottle of wine. It’s all about minimal intervention and trusting their instincts – the team has decades of experience in growing top-noch grapes. “We’re a tiny vineyard with only four of us running it,” Carson says. “It’s a job you get better at. “But it’s also important to have good intuition about how the vintage will turn out. It’s about looking at the weather and assessing how the vines are growing. “The more vintages you do the more experience you have and it helps with the decisions you make. Experience definitely gives you the confidence to make the right call.” Serrat’s last gong at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards was in 2016, when it won wine of the year for

its 2014 shiraz viognier. The recent awards saw Serrat shortlisted for winery of the year, grenache of the year for its 2021 grenache noir and shiraz of the year for its 2021 shiraz viognier, along with Carson’s win for viticulturist of the year. “To be nominated in a number of categories and win in one is amazing,” Carson says. “It’s a great recognition for the 20-plus years of work that has gone into Serrat.” He describes his love of the vineyard as one bordering on obsession, and not just at Serrat – he also works with Yabby Lake Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula. Over the decades he’s also worked in the Clare Valley – where he met his wife, who was undertaking masters studies – and the French regions of Burgundy and Champagne. “After I finished my wine degree, I went to France for a few vintages,” Carson says. “It was great to get right into it. “I love the wine-growing history of France and their commitment over there – it’s generational and it’s a craft. “I was totally hooked from that moment. But it’s also the site that is the hero and, as the wine-maker, you try to stand in the background and let the quality come through the bottle.” ●

MUSIC

Jimmy Barnes’ best-selling album Soul Deep gets a second spin. Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

Heart and soul

“Going back into the studio to record soul songs every few years has given me a chance to reconnect with my roots.” Pierre Baroni, the Melbourne radio host of Soulgroove ’66 on 3PBS, inspired Barnes to tap into soul music, introducing him to B-sides he’d never heard before. Baroni, who lost his battle with cancer a year ago, spent decades advising Barnes on which soul tracks to cover. He was also an art director and photographer at Mushroom Records and created the artwork for Barnes’ albums. “Pierre was one of my dearest friends and people will know him from his soul show on 3PBS in

Melbourne, which he did for many, many years,” Barnes says. “He had the biggest collection of soul 45s and knew more about soul music than anybody I knew. “When I started making this record, Pierre was my library. I would ask him about songs, and he knew everything from the studio it was recorded in, to who played horns, to what time of day it was made, to who got the musicians lunch that day.” Barnes went on to record four more soul albums in his career, with the best half of their tracks being

JESSE LIZOTTE

fter achieving four number-one albums in a row in the ’80s, rock singer Jimmy Barnes found his centre and took a dive into his love of soul music. That led to the Cold Chisel front man recording his best-selling album of all time, Soul Deep, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Soul Deep has been remastered for the occasion and includes a few new tracks. Soothe Me features Sam Moore of America’s Sam & Dave R&B duo while Warrandyte favourite Josh Teskey from The Teskey Brothers helps out on Do You Love Me. A version of Reflections by Diana Ross & The Supremes gets a makeover with the help of his former Cold Chisel bandmate Ian Moss. “One of the reasons I did Soul Deep was I suddenly wanted to go back to the well,” Barnes says. “I had made a bunch of successful Cold Chisel and rock records and I wanted to step further back into my history and look at the singers who influenced me as a young singer.” His mother played Ray Charles records at home, and his older brother John introduced him to Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. But it was hearing Little Richard on the radio that whet his appetite for soul meets rock ’n’ roll. “I listened to black singers growing up and they made me want to be a singer,” Barnes says. “I turned to their songs to replenish my spirit. They still have that effect on me today.”

chosen by Baroni. Songs including I Put a Spell On You by Nina Simone and Hound Dog by Big Mama Thornton (later covered by Elvis Presley) shone a light on the cornerstone classics. “Pierre helped me select tracks for every record I made and had a lot of influence on my rock records too,” Barnes says. “Going back into the studio to record soul songs every few years has given me a chance to reconnect with my roots and find new ways of singing and approaching a song. “Being a bit older and wiser, I get the chance to really sit and feel and appreciate these songs for what they were – great solid soul pop songs.” ● SOUL DEEP 30 \ Available on streaming services or for pre-sale on jimmybarnes.com.

On with the show COVER STORY Theatre royalty Rhonda Burchmore

reminisces about her life in the spotlight.

he’s trodden the boards across the country for more than four decades, but Australia’s queen of showbiz, Rhonda Burchmore, has no plans to hang up her dancing shoes. At 62, she often gets asked if she’s ready to call it quits – but her passion to perform remains as steadfast as ever. “I want to be like Cher, Bette Midler and Marlene Dietrich – as long as you can do it, then why not do it,” says Burchmore who returns to the stage playing the mean-spirited and racist Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray the Musical, which opens in Melbourne this month. “Some of the lines I have to say are like, ‘Oh, do I have to?’” Burchmore says of the musical based on the original 1988 film by American writer and director John Waters which portrays antiquated beliefs around segregation in America in the 1960s. “There are so many lessons to be learnt from the musical – from the mean girls who give the lead Tracy Turnblad a hard time, the bullying pack mentality of The Corny Collins Show and my character who leads the bullies – a beauty queen who doesn’t have a very nice side. It’s really hard to play a mean person.” Burchmore has seen the wrath of those in the biz who don’t always have a nice side too, but she’s soldiered on in her mission to perform regardless of her critics. “There are no guarantees you’ll survive in this game, but I am grateful I have been able to have a career as long as I have,” she says. “It’s all thanks to my parents and wonderful mentors who really kept encouraging me; it all

DOM A IN REV IEW

comes down to the support you get from those who see potential in you, and those who love you.” In 1980, she met Aussie actors Jacki Weaver and John Waters (best known for his time presenting Play School and for his role on the TV show Offspring) while performing in the Australian production of Marvin Hamlish and Carole Bayer Sager’s musical They’re Playing Our Song. “We’ve remained friends to this day,” Burchmore says. “I played one of Jacki’s alter egos in the show, and I remember at the time being part of a big show with some big names in the biz wasn’t easy for someone new on the block. I was bullied and survived it. It was tough starting out but I was determined the stage is where I wanted to be.” At 182 centimetres tall (just under six feet), she always felt her height was a burden. She avoided auditioning for roles in Pirates of Penzance and The Sound of Music because she thought she was too tall to be cast. But it was a male mentor, American actor Eddie Bracken (who acted in dozens of films from the ’40s onwards – but is perhaps now best known as “Mr Duncan” in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York), who told her to make the most of her leggy physique. “My first big break, Sugar Babies, took me to London’s West End. Eddie Bracken was the first person who said, ‘You’re tall, make the most of it,’” Burchmore says. “I used to walk around with stooped shoulders and always tried to appear shorter, but Eddie was so fantastic. He guided me and gave me great advice and I think a lot of the things he used to tell me in my early 20s and still instil those things now.”

She performed with Mickey Rooney on London’s West End, scored roles in Hot Shoe Shuffle and Guys and Dolls and played to an audience of more than 65,000 for Red, Hot and Rhonda at Crown in the late ’90s. “I was at my lowest point in my life when I did that show,” she says. “I was dealing with bad reviews in the press. To that point I always thought everyone was wonderful in the media. “That was pretty soul-destroying and to go through it, well, it nearly did destroy me but I got back out there. That show taught me to take more charge in life. I grew from that experience.” Burchmore lives in Melbourne with her husband, psychiatrist Dr Nikolai Jeuniewic, and their teenage daughter and two standard poodles. “I keep a very private life away from work,” she says. “I love being in a tracksuit, walking the dog, having a couple of wines on the couch and cooking at home. We also have a place on the Gold Coast and I love fishing – it’s a wonderful escape.” Celebrating the career milestone of 40 years in showbiz in 2020 was bittersweet for Burchmore, who in the 11 years prior had lost three family members to illness. “I did wonder when the dark cloud would lift – there was a period of it just all happening what seemed like at once.” Losing her father John to Parkinson’s in 2009, her sister Michelle to several neurological conditions in 2015 and then her mother Yvonne in 2017 from dementia, Burchmore felt like life was constantly unravelling around her. While going through her mother’s belongings, she found a suitcase filled with costumes she had sewn for her – ranging from when Burchmore was three years old to her time on The Don Lane Show. “Mum made all my costumes and thrived doing it,” she says. “She wasn’t a stage mum, just someone who worked in a factory and channelled her energy into making nice things for me and my sister Michelle. But Mum was also a hoarder and after she passed, I found so many things she had made me and kept. She used to say, ‘Rhonda, you can’t go out in a black dress, you’re in the biz of show, you have to have a bit of bling.’ And I still love a bit of bling when I perform.” ● HAIRSPRAY \ Now playing at The Regent Theatre. ● hairspraymusical.com.au

HOTEL

French connection This ‘Paris-end’ hotel gets a makeover à la République.

he next time you find yourself at the top end of Collins Street, make sure you look up to try to find the similarities between the Louvre Pyramid in Paris and the five-star hotel Sofitel Melbourne on Collins. Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei designed both buildings, and the latest refurbishment of the Sofitel’s guest rooms, corridors and lobbies leans on his love of triangular geometry – a style he became known for when his glass-and-metal pyramid was added to the Louvre Museum in the 1980s.

A+ Design Group founder Tony Leung has been involved in Sofitel Melbourne’s $15 million refurbishment and says the late I. M. Pei was an idol of his, as a fellow Chinese architect and the designer of the Louvre Pyramid. “I. M. Pei’s narrative of strong triangular geometry ... has been reinforced throughout the entire facelift,” Leung says. ”The key new design elements take on I. M. Pei’s lead and look at the existing elements in both architecture and interior. “The upgrade of the Sofitel guest rooms, corridors and lobbies has been a concept-driven approach. “The joinery and furniture, finishes, carpet pattern and colours are part of an overall language related to the existing architecture and the site’s position in Melbourne.” The rooms come with angled mirrors and timber window shutters that follow a triangular motif repeated on the exterior of the building, while the carpet has plenty of pyramidical shapes to keep you connecting the dots. Fabric-panelled bedside tables hint at Parisian life, as does the soft, metallic triangular form of the minibars.

JA N E R O C CA

Deep-blue armchairs recall the French flag.

“It’s about telling the story of Melbourne and connecting to the notion of ‘Frenchness’,” and France’s affluence and royalty through the use of sophisticated materials, Leung says. The striking deep-blue armchair and footrest in the rooms draw on the French flag, with the royal blue venerating Saint Martin. Photographic works by Jon Rendell and Claire Ropartz have been added across the hotel, their black-and-white form highlighting the elegance of both Melbourne and Paris, purposefully tricking the eye with subtle differences in streetscapes. “That was the intention of this project, to not make the imagery so obvious but to have [people] ask the question, ‘Is this a street scene from Paris or Melbourne?’” Claire Ropartz says. Ropartz, who moved to Melbourne from Paris in 2008 and is now an Australian citizen, says the collaborative project shines a light on Melbourne’s “French quarter”, from retail to art and culture. “What I love about Melbourne is that so many people here relate to Paris,” she says. “I do love Australians’ understanding of French culture.” ●

More than a shining solo act. Haileybury students are encouraged to chase their dreams — be it in the classroom, or in the community. Like Braya who perfectly balances her schoolwork with National Dance Competitions, leading the Pipes and Drums Band and championing causes close to her heart as our Social Justice Captain. Oh, and she’s only in Year 9! Whatever cause she leaps into next, we’ll be there to support her all the way.
