Michael Bolton support show at Perth Concert Hall
We had an AMAZING time supporting Michael Bolton at Perth Concert Hall last week! We had a fantastic response from the very warm and receptive audience, we got treated to very nice hospitality backstage in our dressing room, and we got to meet Michael’s amazing band members, who were all fabulous and lovely people to boot. Some photo highlights for you…

I think if someone asked me, “What’s the best gig of your life so far?” I would have to say that this one takes the cake! What an honour to be the support act for someone who is not just an international music sensation, but a great musician with great longevity and someone whose work I personally admire and whose music I would count among my influences.

Supporting Belinda
If you thought only catching 30 seconds of Ronan Keating in person was something, wait till you hear this…
I rocked up at the Astor Theatre at 5:30pm on the day of Belinda Carlisle’s show for a soundcheck. Her band (mainly comprised of Aussie session musicians who had been doing the Australian leg of her tour with her) was still on the stage, pumping out grand and luscious 80s sounds, but the lady herself was nowhere in sight. They rehearsed a few tunes, tweaked a few levels and then hung out on the stage chatting. Sometime a little after 6, Belinda slipped inconspicuously onstage and did two partial run-throughs of different songs with the band. Then, again she disappeared – apparently back to her hotel.
