Firstly, congratulations on the success of The Outlaws. Everyone seems to be really embracing the idea. I read that you’ve had this idea in your head for ten years or so – why has it taken so long to finally make happen?

It’s one of those things, to get five guys all with a little bit of a break from their schedules all at the same time,  it’s a pretty big ask! I suppose it just had to wait to the point where it happened all very naturally, where everyone was like, ‘Yeah, I’m free, I’m free…’ That’s how I kinda knew that okay, it must be the right time.

Adam Brand and The Outlaws at Hallam Hotel

Who & What: Adam Brand and The Outlaws
Where: Hallam Hotel, Melbourne
When: 28th January, 2016

Take five musicians, mash them together and what do you get? – Australia’s newest country super-group, of course. I’m talking about the Outlaws, consisting of Adam Brand, Travis Collins, Matt Cornell, Drew McAlister (of McAlister Kemp fame) and Mike Carr (also known as the musical comedy character, Buddy Goode). All talented musicians in their own right – with their own respected fan bases to boot! – it’s hard to imagine how an idea like this could possibly fail.

Thoughts on Fiddler on the Roof

DSC07371

I’ve been lucky enough to see Fiddler on the Roof twice now – once during opening night and secondly, yesterday. This happened to be a coincidence, but it was nice to see the show from upstairs to seated near the front of the stage. I can’t seem to make up my mind which I preferred more. I liked that upstairs you could appreciate the choreography, but if you’re blind like me, nothing beats being close to the stage. So saying this, I would encourage you to see it twice, if you can, as you get to see a different perspective of the show depending where you sit.

I will have some tidbits from the media call up soon too!
But for now, there’s more under the cut!

Alan Cumming sings Sappy Songs

What: Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs
When: January 7th, 2016
Where: The Playhouse at the Arts Centre Melbourne

Alan Cumming sings sappy songs, yes he does. But the true brilliance of his performance lies in the delivery of his (often-naughty) stories.

I’m going off memory, so some details may be slightly off or incomplete. Sorry.

Review: Ed Sheeran at AAMI Park (2015)

What: Ed Sheeran in Concert
When: December 5th, 2015
Where: AAMI Park, Melbourne, Australia

When the opportunity came up to see Ed Sheeran in concert, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go. After all, how good could one man with one guitar on one stage be? Would that be enough to fill the whole of AAMI Park?

But boy, did he ever super exceed my expectations! He commented that he recently had his first complaint from an audience member, who accused him of using a back up tape and not singing live. Ed assured us that everything we hear would be coming out of the equipment he had on stage. I thought I heard a backing track too, but I’m sure he sung all main parts live, and played his guitar live as well.
