Marty Wieczorek Quintet

After gaining his ATCL (Associate of Trinity College London) with distinction in 2002 for classical clarinet performance,
Marty was successful in all his auditions for tertiary music study at the Perth, Canberra, Brisbane and Sydney Conservatoriums of music, in both the classical and jazz genres. Opting to study jazz at WAAPA in early 2004(the
Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts), Marty took a year off in mid-2004 to pursue private practice in Sydney. During this time he was awarded the Ewa Malewicz Scholarship for classical clarinet performance. Shortly
after his return to Perth, Marty was awarded the Brett Lockyer Scholarship for jazz clarinet performance in 2005. From 2006-07 Marty was a member of the WAYJO (Western Australian Youth Jazz Orchestra) as an alto saxophonist and
clarinetist, which afforded him many exciting performance opportunities. After successfully completing his Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance in late 2007, Marty moved back to Sydney, where he is currently spending his time
teaching and performing.

Screaming Bloody Mess – 8th June 2009

Facebook post:

Screaming Bloody Mess is gone! The site is still paid for for another year if anyone wants to get it back up and running…

2nd May 2025 – Screaming Bloody Mess was one of the first punk website and forums that I came across in Australia and was a who’s who of the punk scene at the time. It was already well established by the time I found it and I did get involved a little bit to keep it up and running for while until it eventually faded away. I made some good friends and acquaintances there and there was a fun feeling of cooperation, for me at least. I’ll have to go and check the Wayback Machine to see if I can revive some of the hilarity for there, particularly my post ‘Shitting in the shower’ which seemed to polarise a lot of people!
