Description:

In a rare collaborative line-up of our finest musical talent, iconic Australian singer/songwriter Paul Kelly teams up with internationally renowned composer Paul Grabowsky in a musical triumph of heavenly proportions!

Spanning Kelly's catalogue from the late 80s to now including Be Careful What you Pray For, God's Hotel (lyrics by Nick Cave) and the specially written Meet Me in the Middle of the Air, arrangements by Paul Grabowsky turn Kelly's songs on spiritual themes into sweeping rhapsodies, soaring ragtime and sassy Cuban salsa.

Paul Kelly and Paul Grabowsky will take to the stage with Australia's pre-eminent contemporary music ensemble, the 10 member Australian Art Orchestra, the soulful voices of the much loved Vika and Linda Bull and the exquisite chorus of Tina Harrod's Vocal Ensemble.

The result is an unforgettable night of beautiful music of immense power, testament to Paul Kelly's songbook as one of the richest in contemporary Australian music.

This exclusive ONE NIGHT ONLY performance is the first since its since sold out appearances at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival (2006) and Sydney Opera House (2008).

Just shows how everyone wants the same thing all the time.... even from artists. I loved this concert, read the info so knew it was about songs with a spiritual leaning, and loved it!

Disgraceful. The worst part was watching people drift back in for the encores in the forlorn hope that he'd somehow redeem himself at the end. We could of all gone to the local church if we wanted a bible lesson. And been $165 better off.

We also went to this concert last night, where two polynesian woman sang songs we'd never heard before and occasionally a guy came out and did weird dancing, talked about his songs in a scary psuedo religious way and sang twice...before we walked out... (more)

Extremely dissapointing show! When Paul Kelly is listed as the headline act he should be the headliner of the show. Vica and Linda were screamers - not talented at all. The band was OK. Paul Kelly didn't even pick up his guitar - a total let down... (more)

What a letdown!!! We travelled from Newcastle and spent $1000 on tickets, accom, etc and feel so ripped off. PK, you will have to do a 'Greatest Hits' tour to redeem yourself!!

I agree 100%. It was the biggest con I have ever witnessed. It was the Vicka and Linda Bull show supported by Paul kelly singing none of his hits. My wife and I spoke to a few people on the way out and evryone we spoke to was disappointed and felt ri... (more)

I agree 110% with you Alan... my partner thought I had written your comment.. I stated the same facts as we walked out extremely let down last night... I am a huge PK fan and my only defence of him is that my partner bought the tix so I had no idea o... (more)

This concert was bullshit, charge like a wounded bull, Kelly did nothing but introduce songs and collected his money easy, it was a total rip off, not one of his trademark songs. Paul kelly has definitely gone down in my estimation, picking up cheap... (more)
