Fans waited patiently as Barnesy played his new songs. Then something magical happened
From here, the set lifts considerably. Barnes introduces his wife Jane on backing vocals and occasionally bagpipes, and daughter Mahalia, who's raced from the Princess Theatre, where she's Mary in Jesus Christ Superstar. They duet on Good Times, with Mahalia taking Michael Hutchence's part. Ride the Night Away and Working Class Man unite the crowd. The final encore of Khe Sanh clinches it: we're in the presence of something bigger than us, bigger than Barnesy even. It's yearning, living, a piece of history. Perhaps it didn't need wailing two guitar solos and a Hammond organ solo. Outside, a busker dressed as a pirate axes through Working Class Man on an acoustic. It's a bold gambit, following Barnesy on his own material – but a song like that is bigger than any of us.

Sunday night's double bill paired two youthful ensembles that shared the same drummer (Sydney's George Greenhill). The opening set was led by bassist James Shortland, who recently moved from Sydney to Melbourne and has been developing his voice as a composer. He presented his appealing original tunes in a quartet setting, accompanied by Greenhill and two Melbourne players (saxophonist Toby Barrett and pianist James Bowers). Bowers played a key role in shaping the dynamics of each piece, offering lyrical introductions on ballads such as Skylight, and building momentum beneath his bandmates' animated solos. Several tunes were buoyed by a subtle Latin undercurrent courtesy of Shortland and Greenhill – including the set's final number (Emergence), which was suffused with warmth and positivity. Greenhill was back for the second set, forming one-third of a potent Sydney-based trio. The drummer has been working with saxophonist Ben Lerner and bassist Nick Jansen since 2020, and the three have developed a powerfully persuasive group sound. Their impressive debut album – Play Trio – has just been released, featuring compositions by artists who inspired them. On Sean Wayland's John Barker, their nimble reflexes were on display as they sprinted across the melody with taut precision, before Lerner spiralled off into an agitated, angular solo. Kurt Rosenwinkel's Synthetics was a speedy, bop-fuelled sprint, Lerner's lines tumbling forth with remarkable fluency as Jansen and Greenhill pushed at the beat like ebullient jockeys. Lykeif had a more expansive, open-time feel, incorporating a vigorous three-way dialogue of split-tone squawks, exploratory bass and textural drums. With Greenhill now based in New York (and Lerner soon to follow), this was a rare opportunity to see some exciting young players whose stars are well and truly on the rise. Reviewed by Jessica Nichols MUSIC Invenio – Bits and Pieces ★★★★ Tempo Rubato, June 12 I still have vivid memories of seeing Invenio's very first show – Gone, Without Saying – in 2010. Fourteen singers (including the group's leader and composer, Gian Slater) presented an arresting suite that explored extended vocal techniques, wordless singing, improvisation and choreographed movements, along with intricate multi-part harmonies and songs with poetic lyrics. Some passages were startlingly strange and experimental; some so tender and moving that they left audience members in tears. A decade and a half later, Slater's vision of an unconventional vocal ensemble continues to bear rich fruit, and Invenio serves as a beacon of creativity and commitment in Melbourne's art music community. Slater now has a collective of about 30 dedicated singers to draw from, 12 of whom performed at Tempo Rubato on Thursday night. This concert marked Invenio's 15th anniversary, and the program ranged widely across the group's extensive back catalogue. It opened with Banterer (from Gone, Without Saying), where the singers held various kitchen implements – bowls, saucers, teacups – in front of their mouths as they twittered, stuttered and whispered, before coalescing into unison syllables and rhythmic cycles that intersected and overlapped with perfect precision. Fight Eyes had the feel of an evocative folk song, with lush three-part harmonies that occasionally diverged into subtle trills or sustained drones. On Growing Pains, the bass and tenor voices sang the lyrics, while the altos and sopranos quivered, pulsed and slid up and down in a series of elongated, wordless sighs. And for Warm Bodies – perhaps the most affecting piece of the night – the singers moved down the aisles and along the back of the room as they sang, enveloping the audience in a delicate harmonic field that resonated with a hushed, almost hymnal beauty. Loading We also heard three new pieces from a forthcoming album, suggesting that while 15 years is an impressive milestone, Invenio's journey of inspiration and discovery is far from over. Long may it continue. Reviewed by Jessica Nicholas

Wave of Foreign Investment in US Gas Could Top $10B
Asian, Middle Eastern and European buyers want a piece of U.S. shale gas, and they want it now. Jeet Benipal, managing partner at Greenhill, a Mizuho affiliate, said there's at least five or six different shale gas deals on the market right now. 'If I were to add all of them together, we're probably looking at $10-plus billion,' Benipal said June 4 during Hart Energy's Energy Capital Conference. Greenhill previously advised TG Natural Resources on its $2.7 billion acquisition of East Texas gas producer Rockcliff Energy II in 2023. 'There's a lot of interest from several different Asian strategics and trading houses in U.S. natural gas upstream assets,' Benipal said. TG Natural Resources recently acquired a 70% interest in Chevron's Haynesville assets for $575 million. Outside of Asia, Middle Eastern buyers are gaining steam in U.S. shale gas. In April, Kimmeridge sold a 24.1% stake in its upstream shale gas and LNG operation to Mubadala Energy, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co. U.K. petrochemical company INEOS has also invested in U.S. upstream, including offshore and in the Eagle Ford Shale, said Jack Collins, CEO of INEOS Energy, at the conference.

Forfar abuser's 14-year campaign of violence included boiling oil frying pan assault
An Angus man's 14-year campaign of domestic violence included throwing a frying pan at his victim and covering her with boiling oil. Keith Greenhill, of Goosecroft, Forfar, was found guilty of assaulting the woman and subjecting her to a lengthy catalogue of abuse. Greenhill followed her as she drove her bus route and set up cameras in their home to watch her. The offender, who will be sentenced in July, would not let his victim go to the toilet without him being present and reported her to social workers and the Scottish SPCA. He has been warned imprisonment is 'a possibility.' Greenhill denied his offending at Forfar Sheriff Court but was found guilty of both charges he faced after a trial which lasted almost two weeks. The jury unanimously convicted the 37-year-old of assaulting his victim on various occasions between 2009 and 2019. He struck her on the head with his own head, pushed her, pinned her to a bed, straddled her body and placed a pillow over her face, restricting her breathing . Greenhill also threw a frying pan at her, covering her in boiling oil. Jurors agreed Greenhill's violence left his victim severely injured, permanently disfigured and put her life in danger. Greenhill was also unanimously convicted of engaging in a course of behaviour which was abusive towards the woman at various locations in Forfar between April 2019 and February 2023. He acted in an aggressive manner, shouted at her and controlled where she went and who she was with. Greenhill instigated arguments to prevent her from going out, isolated her from friends and family and followed her movements around her home. During his campaign of abuse, he refused to allow her to use the toilet without him being present. Controlling Greenhill accompanied her to and from work and waited outside her workplace to ensure she did not speak to any other men. He made her routinely record voice notes while she was at work, refused to allow her to use social media accounts and set up cameras in the home they shared for the purpose of monitoring her movements. Greenhill was accused her of having a secret phone, seized her by the neck and pushed her body, repeatedly punched her on the head and accused her of being unfaithful. He attended her home uninvited and entered it in the early hours of the morning without permission. Greenhill also reported her to social workers and the Scottish SPCA. He followed her on her routes in the course of her employment and took possession of a vehicle she owned, preventing her from selling it. Greenhill also monitored her movements by following her in his vehicle and driving past her address. Following the jury's verdict, defence solicitor Sarah Russo said background reports would be needed and asked for bail. 'Mr Greenhill has a very limited record – one previous conviction', she said. Sheriff Jillian Martin-Brown deferred sentencing until July 3 and continued Greenhill's bail. She told him: 'Due to the severity of the crimes of which you have been convicted, a custodial sentence is a possibility.'
