(Added 19-02-10). If you managed to catch the show below I am sure you will agree it was a great night. I must admit that I am not a huge Eagles fan, but the CCE interpretation of their music was first class. The highlight for me was New Zealand keyboard player Charmaine Ford doing a ‘jazzed up’ solo during ‘Heartache Tonight’ – great stuff. The guitar-work by Joseph Calderazzo, Tim Hartwig, Jak Housden and Vistor Rounds on bass was also excellent.

The next CCEntertainment gig is going to be ’A Day in the Life’, a celebration of the music of the Beatles from 1967 to 1970. The concert is Friday 28th May at the Enmore in Newtown, and will feature the vocals of Jack Jones, Steve Balbi (from Noiseworks), Simon Meli (Widowbirds/Ooh La La) Kevin Bennett (The Flood), Evelyn Duprai (Paul Mac), Anthea White (The Hipstones) and Amanda Davis.

Len Wallis Audio is proud to be a sponsor once again for another CCEntertainment production, this time ‘One of These Nights’, a celebration of the music of The Eagles. There are three concerts:
1) Friday 12th of Feb at the Laycock Theatre Gosford
2) Saturday 13th of Feb at the Lyric Theatre, Star City Casino Sydney, and
3) Thursday 18th Feb at the Canberra Theatre, Canberra.

As always CCE have brought together a ton on talent, including vocals by John Paul Young (except for the Friday 12th show in Gosford), Kevin Bennett (The Flood), Simon Meli (Ooh la al ), Steve Balbi (Noiseworks – he is incredibly entertaining on stage), Spencer Jones, Robyn Loau, Louise Anton and Jenny Morris. These are backed by a nine piece band including Joseph Calderazzo, Jak Housden and Tim Hartwig on guitar, Pete Skelton on drums, Victor Rounds on bass and Charmaine Ford on keyboards.

Last year I saw the CCE productions of the music of the Stones at the Basement and Led Zeppelin at the Enmore and both were excellent shows. The Eagles at the Lyric in particular promises to be a great night.
