Australian icon John Williamson will celebrate the release of his 52nd album, ‘Butcherbird’, with a national tour of the same name. Over the next eighteen months he will share his latest original compositions complemented by songs from his massive back catalogue of constantly requested favourites from an amazing forty-eight-year career.
The tour will again see Williamson take his audience on a journey through the country, combining humour, romance, environmental issues, travelling songs and campfire stories woven together by the master storyteller’s songs. Unlike much of today’s music, John’s songs have real meaning. His new songs are no exception. The passage of time and life itself is captured in striking images. New songs such as ‘Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone’ and ‘Looking for a Story’ will bring his audience to tears, balanced by the humour of songs such as ‘When My Horse Came In’ and ‘Simpson Desert’. Never one to shy away from controversy or issues he’s passionate about, ‘Pigs on the River’ will be applauded. ‘Buddy and Slim’ pays tribute to the industry’s founders. It’s no wonder he is one of the most sought-after live performers in Australia.
‘I’m still having fun touring. I guess I will keep going until 2020 (my fiftieth year in the industry). My new album ‘Butcherbird’ has come up amazingly well, considering I didn’t plan or promise another of all new songs. Everyone is very excited and so am I! For me, it’s all about entertainment, just like my concerts and I can’t wait to get on the road with this new tour,’ said John.
John was inducted into the prestigious ARIA Hall of Fame in 2010. He is the recipient of more awards than he cares to mention, particularly as he considers the reaction from his audiences the most important recognition. Nevertheless, his three ARIA awards, 25 Golden Guitars, numerous MO awards, APRA awards, multiple Platinum and Gold albums and more than 4 million album sales are recognition well deserved.
Since he wrote his first song, Old Man Emu in 1970, which went to #1 for five weeks, he has continued to create enduring hits including True Blue, Cootamundra Wattle, Galleries of Pink Galahs, Rip Rip Woodchip, Salisbury Street, Wintergreen, Hawkesbury River Lovin’, Raining on the Rock and Three Sons to name a fraction of the 500+ songs written by the multi award-winning songwriter.
Williamson continues to be at the forefront of significant events, representing the voice of Australians when needed most; from the 2011 Rugby League Grand Final, to the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Steve Irwin’s and Sir Donald Bradman’s memorial services, Rugby World Cups, both the first and tenth anniversary of the Bali bombings and, most recently, the opening of the new Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton.
Mallee Boy, True Blue, Fair Dinkum, or whatever you call him, there is no other performer who stirs the Aussie spirit as he does. From his roots as a man of the land, he makes people feel proud to be Australian and rightly deserves to be seen as a living legend; an Australian icon. His audiences now regularly span four generations.
John will release his new album ‘Butcherbird’ in August 2018 and tour Australia to sell-out shows.
A special two hour concert in two sets: Mine, His and Inspirations.
This will be a powerful and emotive performance of Taylor Henderson's multi-platinum selling hits When You Were Mine, Borrow My Heart & Already Gone, followed by Taylor's handpicked favourites from one of his biggest influences, Ed Sheeran.
Set one:
All of Taylor Henderson’s award winning hits from his platinum selling albums, Self-Titled and Burnt Letters... plus, a selection of songs from singer-songwriters that have shaped the world of music today.
These artists have inspired Taylor Henderson to pick up a guitar and write a lyric and dare to walk on stage to bare his soul; they have helped sculpt and express the artist he is today.
Set Two:
The greatest hits from Ed Sheeran's history making albums 'x', '+' and '÷', featuring songs such as Lego House, Thinking Out Loud, Shape of You and a playlist that will have you singing along.
Ed Sheeran has been a significant force in Taylor Henderson’s creative life, and Taylor is very excited to be able to perform the songs that have fueled the flames of creativity on his journey so far.

In the 1780s, Mozart forged a new path as an independent composer and pianist. The piano concertos were a vehicle for his prowess in both roles—opening up the musical possibilities of the piano concerto and bringing Mozart to the height of his fame as a performer. Majestic, elegant and expansive, the Piano Concerto No 22 delights with its subtle beauty and Mozart’s ever-present gift for melody. To perform it with MCO, one of Australia’s best loved and most charismatic pianists, Stefan Cassomenos.
Haydn received the news that Mozart had died while writing his 98th Symphony, and it became a coded tribute to the great composer, quoting his Coronation Mass, the Jupiter Symphony and even God Save the King.
With a feisty Cimarosa overture and Beethoven’s intimate Romance performed with outstanding violinist Natalia Harvey as soloist, this is quite simply a Classical feast.

Beccy Cole, Adam Harvey, Felicity Urquhart & Darren Coggan… 20 Years On
Individually, these are four of the most recognisable names in the Australian entertainment world. Golden Guitars, Gold records, chart topping albums and countless number one singles between them...and this merely scratches the surface of their combined achievements!
Why are we seeing them join forces? It just so happens that 2019 marks the 20th Anniversary of these four talented and highly decorated artists forming a tour called The YOUNG STARS OF COUNTRY. The tour’s name was the brainchild of the booking agent they shared at the time and the truth is, the title was despised by the group! These young and feisty newcomers fought to have their own names splashed across the lightboxes and chalkboards of the venues they played for fear of not being remembered - they needn’t have worried!
Favoured tour name or not, DARREN, BECCY, FELICITY and ADAM were not to know that this was the beginning of a musical bond and personal friendship that was to last for two decades.
While others have come and gone, tried and failed, these four have continued to rack up the accolades and remain at the forefront of the music industry today. The awesome foursome attribute much of their individual success and longevity to bonds and friendships made with fellow performers along the way.
So how on earth have these 4 found the time to tour together in 2019? ‘Only just’ is the answer. In fact, the foursome have managed to find just 16 dates in November and December this year but all agree this reunion is too important not to happen.
You can expect some very special moments on this show, many laughs and even a few tears but there is no doubting that there will be some breathtaking musical moments. When four artists come together after 20 years of love and respect for each other, the crowd is in for a once in a lifetime treat.
Don’t miss Adam Harvey, Beccy Cole, Darren Coggan & Felicity Urquhart
…together again in an unforgettable reunion concert!

ADAM THOMPSON + THE WE WILL ROCK YOU BAND TAKE THEIR ODE TO QUEEN & FREDDIE MERCURY OUT TO REGIONAL CENTRES IN 2020
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY – LIVE IN CONCERT
When it comes to enigmatic front men, there are few that embody the power and passion quite like Chocolate Starfish’s Adam Thompson. He owns the stage, channels the music, and has audiences eating out the palm of his hand. So it is no surprise that when it came to picking his next great project, Adam chose to showcase the music of his hero Freddie Mercury and Queen in Bohemian Rhapsody the blockbuster movie soundtrack, live in concert.
Chocolate Starfish are known for paying homage to great music. They’ve put on a hugely successful run of Classic Album Series concerts, with an ode to Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell (2017) and INXS’s KICK (2018), bringing the music to life with their powerhouse performances. Now, the band are stepping aside to let their electric and engaging lead singer – lover of life, singer of great songs – pay tribute to the immeasurable talent of Queen, Freddie Mercury and the acclaimed soundtrack of the smash-hit Golden Globe winning music biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.
The Bohemian Rhapsody live in concert was originally just a one-off event, slated for April 2019 in Melbourne. Adam Thompson, with the We Will Rock You Band, announced the show just as the biopic landed in theatres in 2018 and the concert sold-out within minutes. Much like the movie, which is reputed as the highest selling music biopic of all time, the live concert concept music fans demanding more dates. Due to popular demand, a swag of regional dates have been announced for music fans.
Performing with the We Will Rock You band is a special coup for Adam Thompson, and for audiences. In 2002, Queen’s Brian May and Rodger Taylor hand-picked the band in Melbourne for their hit musical. Featuring Simon Croft, Andy Swann and Andrew Patterson, it brings special revelry to the evening.
Chocolate Starfish are widely reputed as one of the best live bands on the scene and Adam Thompson is revered for his showmanship. The band arrived smack bang in the middle of the grunge scene of the 1990s and refused to fit the mould. Chocolate Starfish had six top 40 singles and two top 10 albums on the Australian charts, gold and platinum record sales and an ARIA for Most Popular Album.
The Bohemian Rhapsody concert will feature hit after hit from Queen’s back catalogue. With tracks such as Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, Fat Bottomed Girls, We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The Dust, I Want To Break Free and Under Pressure to name a few, it will be a spectacular evening from start to finish. Adam Thompson and the We Will Rock You band look forward to exchanging that love and energy of Queen with audiences.

This nostalgic concert celebration will feature the wonderful Young At Heart Quartet and include such timeless hits as Que Sera, Sera, Sentimental Journey, Everybody Loves a Lover and Secret Love plus classic songs from the movies Calamity Jane, Love Me or Leave Me and The Pajama Game, as well as a number of Doris’ big band standards.

It’s been over 25 years since John Waters and Stewart D’Arrietta first performed LENNON – LOOKING THROUGH A GLASS ONION on the small stage at Sydney’s Tilbury Hotel. Little did they know that over an inspiring 25-year journey they would perform the show in New York and London, leaving their mark on audiences around the world.
Created and performed by renowned Australian actor/musician John Waters and esteemed singer/pianist Stewart D’Arrietta; Lennon – Through a Glass Onion is part concert and part biography, revealing the essence of the life and astonishing talent of one of the most admired icons of the past century. It’s a compelling story and features 31 iconic hits of Lennon and his collaborations with McCartney including Imagine, Strawberry Fields Forever, Revolution, Woman, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Working Class Hero, and Jealous Guy.
The ultimate goal for John and Stewart was to take their show to New York one day – and they did in 2015. “It was truly an emotional experience seeing Lennon - Through a Glass Onion in New York at its American premiere,” said lead producer Harley Medcalf. “We were overwhelmed, blessed really, to have the support of Yoko Ono and the Lennon Estate.”
John Waters added “To be embraced by New Yorkers as we were, it was a great reward for all of us who worked so hard to get our show there. It truly felt as though Glass Onion had in fact given the city what it needed, to reconcile their own sense of loss of a much loved ‘son’, as John Lennon came to be. Night after night, our audiences stood to acknowledge us, and it doesn't get much better than that.”
“It’s been fantastic, the response the show has received, especially from the younger audiences that come along, some of whom were not even born when Lennon and The Beatles were recording and releasing their music. It’s a testament to the legacy of the man and his music that still excites and intrigues people to this day,” says Waters.
“The song Glass Onion was John Lennon’s postscript to The Beatles. It had such a strong image of crystal ball-gazing and peeling away the layers that it inspired the format for this show – a kaleidoscope collage of song, word, emotion and image,” agrees D’Arrietta with Waters.
For the audience, this is either an emotional trip down memory lane or a wonderful introduction to the life and times of one of the most fascinating icons of our time. For John and Stewart – it's a dream come true.
