The News (Adelaide)

The News was an afternoon daily tabloid newspaper in the city of Adelaide, South Australia.

The newspaper was established in 1869 as the Evening Journal. In 1933, a controlling stake was taken by The Advertiser, controlled by the Herald and Weekly Times. HWT sold off The News in 1949, and Sir Keith Murdoch (1885–1952) took control of the paper two years later. It was the main asset passed to his son Rupert upon his death. It was the latter's first media interest and commenced the foundation of what was to become News Limited and subsequently the international media conglomerate, News Corporation.

Later Murdoch acquired the city's other local newspaper, the morning daily broadsheet, The Advertiser in 1987. Rupert Murdoch sold The News that year and many of its journalists moved to The Advertiser. In the face of continuing losses brought about by the competition of television and the decline of use of public transport, The News closed in 1992.

In the early days of 1978, the band signed a recording contract with GTO and, in the first weeks of the year, they recorded their first and only single, "Blue Thru", released on 3 March. Shortly afterwards, Alan Richards joined and played guitar, in the place of Smith, who concentrated on lead vocals.

In the summer, Culpin quit, being replaced by Mik Sweeney (previously with Neo). After that, the band did not record anything else and split up shortly afterwards. However, Smith (Sal Solo) and Sweeney reunited and founded Classix Nouveaux.

Later, Terry Farrelly worked with Led Zeppelin and Bad Company as a drum tech, before moving to Australia where he set up a chain of recording studios and discovered Silverchair and collaborated with Alison Moyet, Midge Ure, Joe Cocker, Kate Bush, among others.

Adelaide (Beethoven)

"Adelaide", Op. 46, (German pronunciation: [aːdəlaːˈiːdə]) is a song for solo voice and piano composed in about 1795 by Ludwig van Beethoven. The text is a poem in German by Friedrich von Matthisson (1761–1831).

Composition and publication

During the period he created "Adelaide", Beethoven was in his mid twenties; he had come to Vienna in 1792 to pursue a career and was in the early stages of making a name for himself as pianist and composer. He had only recently completed his studies with Joseph Haydn. A. Peter Brown suggests that in writing "Adelaide," Beethoven was strongly influenced by Haydn's song "O Tuneful Voice" (Hob. XXVIa:42, c. 1795), written by the elder composer shortly before. Like "Adelaide", "O Tuneful Voice" sets a love poem, is in moderate tempo with a steady triplet accompaniment, and wanders from key to key in its middle section.

In composing "Adelaide" Beethoven made many sketches.Barry Cooper assigns the work of composition to "an unusually long time during 1794, 1795, and perhaps 1796." The song was published by Artaria in Vienna; the first edition bears no date, but an advertisement for it appeared 8 February 1797 in the Wiener Zeitung.

The Adelaide city centre is the innermost locality of Greater Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. It is known by locals simply as "The City" or "Town" to distinguish it from Greater Adelaide and from the City of Adelaide (which also includes North Adelaide and the parklands). The locality is split into two key geographical distinctions: the city "square mile", bordered by North, East, South and West Terraces; and the section of the Adelaide Parklands south of the River Torrens which separates the built up part of the city from the surrounding suburbs and North Adelaide.

The locality is home to the Parliament of South Australia and many key state government offices. Due to the construction of many new apartments in the city, the population grew from 10,229 (2006 census) to 12,962 (2011 census).

History

Before the European settlement of South Australia, the Adelaide Plains, on which Adelaide was built, were home to the Kaurna group of Indigenous Australians. The colony of South Australia was established in 1836 at Glenelg, and the city itself established in 1837. The location and layout of the city is accredited to Colonel William Light (1786–1839), in a plan known as Light's Vision. The area where the Adelaide city centre now exists was once known as "Tarndanya", which translates as "male red kangaroo rock" in Aboriginal, an area along the south bank of what is now known as the River Torrens, which flows through Adelaide.
