Live Review : Simply Red at Bimbadgen Winery, Pokolbin Australia – February 20, 2016

Review by Natasha Wyborn
Simply Red at Bimbadgen Winery, Pokolbin Australia
A return to the valley after a five year hiatus, Simply Red hit the stage with gusto on Saturday night. A perfect venue, weather warm and sunny, concert sold out as you would expect. The Hunter Valley got to continue its love affair with Mick Hucknall and his classy band. Joining the musicians from the side of the stage after a brief instrumental introduction, Hucknall looked happy and at home. Dressed casual but there was nothing unrehearsed about the bands performance. Hitting almost perfect notes from their first song ‘Look at you now’ Hucknall romanced the audience with a very appealing collection of hits. The crowd responded from the onset, “A new flame” signalled a calling to all people to get up and join the party.

Meatstock Festival at Sydney Showgrounds
Hair, heat and hunger were the flavour of the weekend at the inaugural Meatstock held at Sydney showgrounds on the 13th and 14th of February 2016. Capitalising on the increasing worldwide trend of BBQ’s and the art of grilling, Meatfest incorporated all the best that a carnivore could want, BBQ’s, beards, butchers, barbers, beers and bands. Too put it simple what more could a fella want for his Valentine’s weekend?

Missy Higgins – Twilight at Taronga
Much loved Australian songstress Missy Higgins graced the Taronga stage supported by the iconic Paul Dempsey on Saturday February 13, 2016. Missy enchanted the entire concert lawn with acoustic guitar and ukulele in tow, delivering the unforgettable hits and pop ballads that brought her into critical acclaim. Due to detected electrical storm activity that was within 5km of Taronga Zoo, Sunday evening’s performance was unfortunately shortened by three songs in the interests of everyone’s safety, however moods stayed uplifted as Missy closed her set with a spectacular rendition of her platinum-selling breakthrough single ‘Scar’.

Live Review : John Butler Trio at Melbourne Zoo Twilights w/ Tinpan Orange – February 6, 2016

John Butler Trio at Melbourne Zoo Twilights
The support slot on the summer picnic rug festival circuit is easily the toughest around at the moment. With audience attention divided between divvying up the roast chook, keeping the ants out of hummus and wrangling over-excited toddlers out way past their bedtimes, it’s a tough mix. And, in the case of the hugely successful Melbourne Zoo Twilights series, adding to this is the distraction of a couple of boisterous lions having a bellow; it leaves little room for paying close attention to what’s happening on the main stage.
