A rare diamond, that is John Waite. We finally got our first Australian tour after a few past attempts and this is one evening that will leave you in awe. A ’40th Anniversary Wooden Heart’ tour that is everything except wooden. Those spellbinding vocals and lyrics of songs, peppered through history since the 70’s, leave you in a permanent state of joy, and …

Sydney loves a good party, but the most important ingredient is sensational music, and last night’s showcase of old school R&B, funk and soul was just what the ‘dance and love doctor’ ordered to kick off our Easter long weekend. To think of just one of these artists, let alone 2, on the same bill, was enough to make me salivate when the tour …

Pure Gold Live offers up such a musical banquet every year and Melbourne’s …

The incomparable Queen, with Adam Lambert, are a showcase in music, talent and entertainment! To state that this is a true match made in musical heaven is an understatement.  It’s more like a cosmic clash of two of the biggest stars that the universe has ever produced with, no doubt, Freddie being the spiritual mastermind and puppet master from above.  …

A Roger Waters concert is like no other. To try and explain to the uninitiated is impossible. You can check online clips and read the stories but until you are there – hearing, seeing and feeling – only then will you understand. I didn’t want to see any online footage or social media posts prior to Friday night’s gig at …

Not just late 70’s and 80’s at its finest, this is electro and synth in its most superior form. When I think of The Human League, I think of Kraftwerk and Ultravox etc, all these masters of electronica, that play within your metal landscape and demand you move. No matter where you are and what you are doing, it is …

Melbourne turned on a sweltering hot summer night for The Human League’s long-awaited return to Australian shores. It had been 35 years since the synth-pop band from the U.K. were here. In 1982, they were riding high on the success of their third album Dare which gave us such hits as the catchy ‘Don’t You Want Me’ and ‘Love Action …

The concert of a lifetime. An epic 3 hour saturation of some of the best songs ever written in the history of music that I’m actually at a loss for words. I’m so overwhelmed to try and write after a night out with the man himself, that I have to stop myself getting all choked up as I still cannot …

Sydney always shines that much more brighter when Culture Club are in town. To have a third mega successful Australian tour in 18 months is just extraordinary and the ICC Sydney Theatre crowd were spoiled with another great show on Friday night. The party people of the Harbour City came out in full force, with many flashy outfits and coiffed …

You would have to have been living under a rock to not know this legendary band. My memories of UB40 go so far back that I still get images of my older sister’s 45’s being thrashed on the old record player. Needle comes up, needle goes back down, repeat, repeat again. Try not to scratch it, can’t risk this precious …
