Direct from the USA and due to popular demand across Australia The Sun Records All-Stars will return to Australia in 2018.

Showcasing the music and the artists of the time, this show is a timely reminder of the birth of Rock ’n’ Roll and the incredible musicians that contributed to the history of music of the time.

The 1950s was the birth of Rock ’n’ Roll and many would say it started in Memphis, Tennessee. Sun Records and Sun Studios was launched by legendary American producer Sam Phillips, quite appropriately on January 3rd, 1950, and became the launching pad for numerous Rock ‘n’ Roll greats, most notably Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison.

The music recorded in that building went on to become the foundation of modern music – everyone from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones to Foo Fighters went on to credit these great musicians as providing inspiration and love of music that shaped their music careers.

The Sun Records All-Stars is an all singing, all playing tribute to the origins of Rock ‘n’ Roll where it all began in the 50s at the famous Sun Records.

This was the day that Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, also known as the “Million Dollar Quartet” got together in a tiny studio and along with Sam Philips, changed music forever.

The show is presented in two parts, featuring all the hits that captures the imagination, the passion and the phenomenon of this incredible era of music with authenticity and dedication.

The Sun Records All-Stars are playing at the Bathurst Panthers on Saturday 25th March 2018.

The complex laws of contracts still apply to land conveyancing, but the method solicitors undertake conveyancing is changing as we go down the electronic pathway.

As the NSW Government has imposed electronic settlements through a company called PEXA, it will become compulsory in the near future for the more common conveyancing settlements to happen electronically. Note: Settlements are when the final monies are paid while at the same time transfers and deeds are handed over, mortgages are discharged and/or mortgages are created on land.

Forms still need to be completed, but they are done over the internet. Settlements still take place over the internet, but registration, paying stamp duty and other payments are done electronically and much quicker than the current paper system.

Some transactions are already compulsory, for example, stand alone mortgage discharges can no longer be done on paper but must be done through PEXA and thus electronically. For those who have paid off their mortgages and simply want to have their mortgages discharged, they should approach their financial institution and solicitor to arrange registration of that discharge to avoid the mortgage still being registered on their title.

All solicitors and financial institutions will need to be registered by 1st July, 2018 with PEXA so that settlements may take place. There will still be the need to have a paper contract and some paper settlements for less common transactions will still need to happen.

Here at MATTHEWS WILLIAMS we have been registered with PEXA from almost the inception of electronic conveyancing and we can help you. Do contact us.
