THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN SONGBOOK

I was honoured to be asked to travel to Australia’s Gold Coast last Spring to make a new concert for Commonwealth 2018.

Here’s a little bit about what we did in Australia back in April

Always fun to open a concert with a musical saw piece! Steve Nieve on his Steinway accompanied me in a very mournful version of Waltzing Matilda Photo: Peter Wheeler

The Great Australian Songbook takes our anthems, love songs and ballads and sings them back to us in the vibrant accents of the Commonwealth.

Under the direction of globally renowned David Coulter, singers and musicians from Canada, the United Kingdom, Jamaica, Nigeria and beyond reinterpret the songs that make us who we are. Join Peaches, Nadine Shah, Winston McAnuff, Afrikan Boy, Patrick Wolf, The Mahotella Queens and special guests Meow Meow and Bart Willoughby in an unforgettable night of Australian music.
