Allphones Arena Cold Chisel - Total Concert Experience
What an amazing night! Thursday 10th @ Allphones Arena Function Lounge for the Cold Chisel - Total Concert Experience hosted by Richard Wilkins was truly a great experience.
The 700+ guests at this SOLD OUT event were primed and pumped for Cold Chisel in the arena and we did whatever we could to make sure they were well & truly in Classic Aussie Rock mode by the time they went into see the boys lift the roof off.
Here's what a few folks posted on Facebook the following day. Allphones Arena: "Thanks guys, the Cold Chisel Total Concert Experience really rocked last night!!"
Ann Stubley: "you guys should have been on instead of You am I, as support for Cold Chisel, really enjoyed your music, and you all started and ended a great night for me and my hubbie. looking forward to relay for life concert, my daughter is participating in that and now there is a reason for us to stay a while and enjoy some of your great music.... thanks again"
And in an e-mail from Louise @ Allphones Arena: "The TOTAL Concert Experience certainly was a great success last night and Australian Played stepped up to the mark in providing a great atmosphere in the room. I appreciate the efforts of the production team as well as yourself and the band members in giving a great performance. We will certainly keep you in mind for any future events that requires an Australian music feel."
Cold Chisel did, as expected, blow the roof off! Charlie Drayton is a great drummer but it's not unfair to say that it's just not quite the same without Steve Prestwich on the skins. Jim did what Jim does best and Mossy blew em away! Phil Small may be that by name and stature but that's it! The man is a giant on stage and a bloody good bloke to boot!
Just the word 'Cancer' is enough to send a chill up and down your spine. Whilst many of us may never be affected personally, some of us will or may have already been touched by this silent assassin through someone close. For us, both Robin's wife Cathy & John's wife Kylie have both been diagnosed and since treated for the disease that claims thousands of lives in Australia alone every year.
This year, we'll be waiving our performance fee for a Free gig at the Bankstown Relay For Life event, Saturday 26 November 2011. If you're in Sydney and want to support this cause, bring the family and enjoy a great day with Jumping Castle, lots of yummy Food, Face Painting, Fire Works and of course some Classic Aussie Rock.
Our sincerest apologies to the management, staff & most of all punters at Dicey Riley's Irish Pub in Wollongong for cancelling this gig. Unfortunately our singer John will be recovering from a minor medical procedure the previous day and whilst he 'might' be well enough to perform, we didn't want to risk something going pear shaped and then cancelling at the 11th hour. Again folks, our apologies.
