Lost Newcastle founder, Carol Duncan, recorded this interview with Newcastle architect, Brian Suters, after he was awarded the City of Newcastle Medal in 2008.

2008 also saw Brian celebrate 50 years in architecture and in this conversation talks about studying at Newcastle University, the influence of seeing great cathedrals around the world, and his influence on the architecture of Newcastle, including working with Frank and Margel Hinder on the Civic Park Fountain, and his groundbreaking social housing project at Newcastle East - the project he was most proud of.

Art Ryan describes Rick Pointon as 'Newcastle rock royalty', and Rick is perhaps best known for his work with the legendary Benny & The Jets. At their peak, Benny & The Jets performed more than 300 nights each year and have worked with some incredible Australian and international industry figures. If you grew up with Johnny O'Keefe in your ears and seeing bands at venues like the Palais, the Impala or even Bus Stop - you'll love the stories Rick tells in his book. What was 'Henry Mousetraps', and what did Sandra the Go Go Girl have to do with Barry Gibb's secret visit to Newcastle in 1977? Rick also lays to rest the oft-told tale of Little Richard's religious epiphany that led him to throw his jewellery into the harbour.

Glamour on Glass is a stunning exhibition curated by University of Newcastle history student and Vera Deacon Scholar, Isabel Whittle, focusing on the portrayal of women and fashion in the Newcastle Sun.

Featuring photographic prints of fashion models in structured daywear and glamorous evening wear, the exhibition explores the impact of the Great Depression on fashion trends and garment production during the 1930s.

Also on display are items on loan from The Australian Museum of Clothing and Textiles, including accessories chosen by women of the 1930s to complement the fashions of the day.
