Many of you are aware that we have supported the last few CCEntertainment concerts. The next should be a beauty – ‘A Day in the Life’ – a Beatles retrospective of their music from 1967-1970, a period that many believe was their most creative.
The concert is at the Enmore in Newtown on Friday May 28th. It will feature a 16 piece band, and guest vocalists include Jack Jones, Steve Balbi (from Noiseworks), Simon Meli (Ooh La La), Evely Duprai (Paul Mac), Kevin Bennett (The Flood), Anthea White (The Hipstones), Spencer Jones and Miss Min (David Campbell) who will be reworking and reinterpreting some of the best pop/rock music ever written.
Some people I have spoken with have been of the opinion that these are ‘tribute’ concerts. This is not the case, while many of the songs are covered close to the original; others obviously have the creative hand of Joseph Calderazzo imprinted on them. For me a highlight of the concerts I have seen to date has been Charmaine Fords electric solo on keyboards doing a jazzed up improvisation of the Eagles ‘Heartache tonight’. If you were at the concert you will know what I mean.
A couple of years back around 8,000 people saw this concert at Olympic Park. This link will take you to one of their numbers on the night.
