Hard times

a' changing

Hard Times has a new image from tomorrow night. Hard Times will change from heavy rock to something a little quieter and relaxed.

People will be able to sip their coffces and teas

and talk at the same time.

These are some of the alterations that have been effected by the two new organisers of the Hard Times Cafe in an attempt to lure the under-25s and the unemployed back to the fortnightly venue, at which attendances have been dropping in reccnt

months.

The cafe, organised and run for and by the unemployed youth of Canberra, aims to give people a cheap night out. And with cover charge of a dollar and 20 cents a cup, the HTC is just that.

Featuring at HTC tomorrow night will be the electric folk guitarist Navara, acoustic guitarist Eddy Nicholaas and blues pianist Gerry, each in separate brackets.

The organisers, Robert Howson and Eric Pool, have been working for about a fortnight to get the new format into shape and are hoping there will be a good turn-out for the night.

It starts at 8pm upstairs in the Griffin Centre, off Bunda Street, Civic.

"The idea was to have something fairly low key", Howson told Timespan.

Both Howson and Pool are without jobs and see this as providing a place for people like themselves

to go.

But HTC is itself facing hard times. It has lost about $100 from the past three times round (it is

held on alternate Friday evenings) and needs support.

All the others who work at the cafe are volunteer

unemployed people. The venue has been surviving

with the financial assistance of Jobless Action and the moral support of the Foundry.

Everyone's welcome — so try HTC tomorrow night.

Mi-Sex in Canberra

Mi-Sex, the group that has been hailed as one of Sydney's major acts, will return to Canberra on Tuesday to play at the Captain Cook Hotel.

drums.

Support for the night will ' be Stilts, a new band in Canberra formed out of old bands like Kev and the MO, Peter Dobson from Ritz, Scotty Ingram from Ruff 'n' Reddie.
