The Cranberries Enmore Theatre, Sydney Tonight


The Cranberries



The Cranberries perform tonight at Sydney's famous Enmore Theatre.

The iconic group is fronted by Dolores O’Riordan and lit up the charts around the world for more than a decade with classics such as Linger, Dreams and Zombie.

They have sold more than 30 million albums and have had two number one albums in Australia, No Need To Argue (1994) and To The Faithful Departed (1996). Other live favourites include Free To Decide, When You’re Gone, Salvation, Ode To My Family and Ridiculous Thoughts.

They’ve performed to millions of fans across the globe including several appearances for the Pope. They’ve graced the cover of Rolling Stone and performed on Letterman and Leno.

After taking a few years out to raise their families, THE CRANBERRIES release a new album, Roses, on February 27, the quartet’s first studio album since Wake Up and Smell the Coffee in 2001.

THE CRANBERRIES are well known for their exceptional live performances. Dolores says “There’s something about playing with THE CRANBERRIES, it’s like putting on the pair of perfect shoes. It’s a chemistry. It just fits.”

Popular Melbourne-based NZ reggae/roots/funk five-piece BONJAH will be the special guests. With over 500 Australian gigs under their belt and their second album, Go Go Chaos, hitting the charts last year, BONJAH will kick off the evening in fine style.

Don’t miss your only chance to see The Cranberies perform their only Australian solo show.

Charles Billich and Ian Thorpe; Thorpe's Foundation For Youth - Spiritual Training

It's the talk of the Sydney arts world...

Iconic Australian sports figure Ian Thope will return to Sydney to launch a portrait painted of him for the 10-year anniversary of his charity, Fountain for Youth.

The painting was completed a year ago but has not been revealed due to the swim star's Olympic training commitments.

It's understood Thorpe will attend tonight's launch, coming off the Olympic trials in Adelaide.

Well known and celebrated artist Charles Billich has enjoyed some wonderful conversations with the swimmer during their sittings for the portrait and thinks Thorpe is "going for the theatrics" and might surprise everyone with his comeback.

"He's an impressive guy, not because he's famous but because he has enormous discipline, enormous energy and dedication and if he wants to do it, he will do it and he will do it again," Billich says.

"I think he is leaving it to the last; he might have a sense of the theatrics with his timing and he'll surprise everyone."

The art is entitled "Spiritual Training" and is described as "A composite portrait of Ian Thorpe...an iconic Australian Renaissance man".

The occasion is in support of Ian Thorpe's charity - The Foundation for Youth. The painting can be acquired by silent auction.
