FINBAR FUREY AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2013

Finbar Furey

Bio: Finbar Furey was, for many years, the lead singer and front man for the legendary Irish band The Fureys. 

He was awarded Irish Music Magazine's "Album of the Year" for "Chasing Moonlight" and his latest album “Colours…” is Finbar’s fifth solo album and includes a mix of brand new compositions such as “The Dark Side Of The World” (a duet with UK X-Factor winner Shayne Ward) & “Walking With My Love” (a duet with Mary Black), along with his take on such classics as Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ In The Wind” and traditional favourites “Dan O’Hara” & “Waltzing Matilda”. He’s an accomplished singer songwriter/banjoist/guitarist/flautist/tin whistler, and is hailed as Irelands “Prince of Pipers” having won every known uilleann pipe title, including three all Ireland Championships. Finbar popularised the pipes worldwide while on tour with his brother Eddie. Many bands followed in their wake. The duo were awarded best Single of the Year by John Peel entirely because of the unique sound the uilleann pipes and whistle made. They received many other accolades because they were the spearhead of Irish contemporary music at that time. They brought a new Irish hipness to a worldwide audience and blended their music into a kind of "world" and popular music. 

It became once again, the music of youth and revolution, a means of dealing with political and social problems which the world faced in that, it was a way for 'common folk', to stand together against real world injustices, such as pollution and abuses of government power.

The illumination they brought to a generation cannot be overstated. Subsequently of course the format was used everywhere from Planxty to River Dance, Braveheart to Hailey Westenra. The name Furey has become part of Irelands musical history. In 1993, with The Fureys at the height of their international popularity and after nearly thirty years as the group's front man, Finbar decided to pursue his solo career. and to present his definitive one-man show. He wanted to explore new pastures as a singer, producer and writer. Since making this decision Finbar's reputation has increased with every performance. 

He has also forged an impressive career in films and appeared in Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs Of New York” and “Paris Sexy” . He recently appeared as the featured guest on RTE’s Gay Byrne Show and has had a documentary made covering his life and career. 

 “Not only does Finbar Furey play pipes with a wildness and passion  ……there’s also a pioneering virtuosity that is unsurpassed"   …………………Irish press

“Quite simply, he is a one-off. An original, acclaimed and revered by audiences and his musical peers”………Irish Independent 

 “Finbar Furey in full flow is one of the most exciting sounds in music…and at his most poetic, one of the most moving… As Dublin as James Joyce, as unpretentious as a pint of Guinness…an evening of pure pleasure”…………………Daily Mail

Finbar has toured extensively, bringing his rare talents to the world-wide stage, treating audiences to evenings of pure Irish magic, great music, good humour, and the charm and wit associated with one of Ireland's most beloved storytellers.

A man of great musical passion and a pioneer for the cause of Irish music, Finbar Furey has carved a special place for himself in the world of music and in the hearts of millions of people.

He returns to tour Australia in March 2013 for The Port Fairy Folk Festival, Brunswick Music Festival, The National Folk Festival and more. He’s like a great red that just keeps getting better!

KISS and Motley Crue tour KISS and Motley Crue's 45 show US summer tour has already gone down as one helluva rock 'n' roll extravaganza, and now, finally, it's Australia's turn. Not only has it been five long years since KISS last toured Australia, but 2013 marks a very special milestone for this great band - their 40th anniversary. In all their bombastic and unstoppable glory, KISS will perform fan favourites from their treasure-trove of hits along with tracks from their 20th studio album Monster. Motley Crue last toured Australia in 2011, but let's face it, we can't get enough of them. They've recently become the first rock band in history to play an epic sold-out Las Vegas residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and are best known for continuing to reinvent not only their live shows (with mind-blowing elements such as Tommy Lee's 360 drum roller coaster) and music, but remain on the cutting edge via social media interaction. With combined album sales of almost 200 million, KISS and Motley Crue are more than just iconic; they remain at the height of their popularity, the dominant powerhouses of rock music tallying 30+ chart-topping hits, countless sold out tours and awards and accolades from around the world. Known for their elaborate and spectacular stage shows, each band plans to give fans the ultimate concert experience with the most impressive lighting and sound production ever and their signature over-the-top pyrotechnics. KISS, Motley Crue and Thin Lizzy will perform at Perth Arena on Thursday, February 28; the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide on Sunday, March 3; Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Tuesday, March 5 and Wednesday, March 6; Allphones Arena in Sydney on Saturday, March 9 on Sunday, March 10; Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, March 12; and Virgin Australia Stadium in Mackay on Saturday, March 16

Chilean band ILLAPU returns to Australia for tour

Chilean band ILLAPU returns to Australia for tour; Music telling stories of love, life, justice and social issues...

The promotion was accurate to a T - Listening to Illapu’s songs is like hearing the whisper of the wind from the Andes.

For those don't know, Illapu means "Lighting Bolt". There's no doubt that the group has facilitated a lighting bolt or two in their motherland over the years - especially of the political nature.

Today we had the pleasure to meet and interview Roberto Márquez Bugueño and Alejandro Vargas at the beautiful Sebel Hotel, Surry Hills, Sydney.

Alejandro kindly assisted with English translation, while Roberto was able to provide excellent insight as to what the group was all about, and what Australian audiences can expect on this tour.

Many fans (and soon fans to be) may be a touch surprised to learn that the group has been to Australia six times now. This can be explained by the beautiful sound of their voices, instruments and the positive energy that resonates.  It doesn't appear to matter if an Australian audience member can understand Chilean or not - as it has been said through the ages of humanity - music is the universal language.

With the bands considerable 40 years plus experience, they are able to articulate through their music, the tales of those 40 years of love, life, justice and social issues - with a good amount of political content thrown in their for good measure.

1991 was a key year for Illapu where they feel that achieved considerable success on not only a spiritual level, but also of a commercial nature, where one of their songs 'Lejos del amor' would spend 46 weeks at number 1 in the charts.

It is very apparent that this group loves life and loves their music with deep passion, and is very much looking forward to sharing their gifts with Australians who love beautiful music.

Tickets are priced from just $89, with some concessions available, and this represents tremendous value and helps make the opportunity to experience world class performing artists more accessible than you would expect.

If you are already a fan - you know how great they are, and if your a newbie to the group, you can expect to have a wonderful time experiencing their musical and vocal genius in the flesh.

We thank them for once again visiting our shores and wish their continues success and happiness on their extraordinary journey.

ILLAPU RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA IN MARCH 2013 FOR THEIR SIXTH TOUR...

Headlining Womadelaide and performing in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane...

Listening to Illapu’s songs is like hearing the whisper of the wind from the Andes…as they create music with songs about love, life, justice and social issues.

ILLAPU was founded in 1971 by four brothers from Antofagasta in northern Chile. As freedom advocates they became well-known for their cultivated rendering of Andean folklore and Bolivian rhythms, a fusion that later developed into the Nueva Canción movement. ILLAPU produce folkloric, explorative music with songs about love, life, justice and current social issues. They have.

ILLAPU have played throughout Latin America, Europe, Australia, Asia, Carnegie Hall in New York, the Olympia Theatre in Paris and the Sydney Opera House.  In March 2013 they return to Australia for their sixth tour headlining WOMADELAIDE with concerts on both the opening and closing nights. ILLAPU will visit Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane playing in Sydney for one night only on Friday 1 March Sydney’s Lyric Theatre.

In 1976 ILLAPU released what was to become a huge radio hit in both Argentina and Chile, and subsequently rose to fame for their guitar-based songs featuring strong vocals, pan flutes and enrapturing rhythms.

Exiled from their beloved Chile by the Pinochet Dictatorship, they lived in France and Mexico until their return in 1988 where they were cheered by throngs of fans, and performed to over 100,000 people. Since then, Illapu have continued to produce folkloric explorative music with songs about love, life and justice and have played all over the world from Latin America, Europe, Australia, Asia, New York to Paris.

“Their voices are wonderful without exception, with perfect harmony they give us words of love… these musicians give themselves to the music with endless happiness”… La Depeche

Profile...

Illapu are a Chilean folk and andean musical ensemble that was formed in 1971 in Antofagasta, in northern Chile, by the brothers José Miguel, Jaime, Andrés and Roberto Márquez Bugueño.

AEROSMITH CONFIRMED TO TOUR AUSTRALIA IN 2013 STELLAR SYDNEY SHOW FEATURING WOLFMOTHER, GRINSPOON, SPIDERBAIT AND THE DEAD DAISIES

April’s about to get a whole lot louder with the news that Aerosmith are returning to Australia for the first time in 24 years! McManus Entertainment is excited to announce that legendary rockers Aerosmith will play Sydney’s ANZ Stadium on Sunday 28th April with a stellar line-up of special guests, including Wolfmother, Grinspoon, Spiderbait, The Dead Daisies, Kingswood and Diva Demolition.

Aerosmith will also play shows in Brisbane and Melbourne in May. All tickets go on sale from 12 noon on Monday 4^th March, 2013.

Promoter Andrew McManus says; “I’m thrilled to bring Aerosmith back to Australia. They are one of the greatest rock and roll bands in the world and I can’t wait for them to rock out with their loyal Aussie fans. We have created a super show in Sydney to celebrate their first gig, with a cracking line-up of Australian bands joining Aerosmith on stage! You really don’t wanna miss a thing! ” 

Legends. Icons. Idols. These are the words used to describe those rare bands that have been adored for a lifetime and immortalised as distinct creators of rock and roll. The band members are legends, icons and idols, dynamic in the present; as cool and innovative now as they were thirty years ago. They are a phenomenon, a force of nature, trail-blazing, unstoppable and show no signs of slowing down.

With Steven Tyler on vocals, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums, they’ve outdone the trends and fads of rock and roll to become one of the most powerful and electrifying forces in popular music.

Aerosmith emerged in the early ‘70s with a sexy swagger and thrusts of metal and glam, creating quintessential power ballads such as Dream On. A string of gold and platinum albums followed including Get Your Wings, Toys In The Attic and Rocks.

In 1986 Steven Tyler and Joe Perry appeared on Run DMC’s cover of Walk This Way introducing the band to a new generation of fans. Aerosmith returned to the charts in the late ‘80s with smash hits like Dude Looks Like a Lady, Rag Doll, Angel, Love In An Elevator and Grammy Award-winning Janie’s Got a Gun. The band were a driving force of the video medium, leading the look, style and attitude of the ‘80s MTV generation. Their videos are classics and Aerosmith continued to make cutting edge videos throughout their career.

1993’s Get a Grip was the band’s first album to debut at number one on the Billboard charts and reached number three on the Australian album chart. The album featured two Grammy Award-winning singles, Livin’ On The Edge and Crazy. This was followed up by another number one album in 1997, Nine Lives, featuring the hit single Pink which saw them win their fourth Grammy Award. In 1998 Aerosmith released the huge worldwide smash hit I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing from the film Armageddon starring Steven Tyler’s daughter, Liv. This reached number one all over the world including the US and Australia. The song was nominated for an Academy Award and opened the band up to another new generation of fans.

In 2001 Aerosmith were inducted into the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” and were included in both Rolling Stone’s and VH1’s lists of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”.

The band continued to release albums and tour throughout the 2000’s as well as release solo albums and pursue solo projects. In 2012, Aerosmith released their 15^th studio album, Music From Another Dimension! and kicked off their “Global Warming” tour which will see them play to Australian fans in April and May.

Aerosmith have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, won more than 30 awards including four Grammy Awards and are the best-selling American rock band of all time. They also hold the record for the most gold and multi-platinum albums by an American group. With such an unstoppable passion for creating great music, a unique creative vision and an unyielding appreciation for their fans, there are no limits to what the future holds for Aerosmith.

Joining Aerosmith in Sydney is Grammy, ARIA, APRA & Triple J album of the year award winners, Wolfmother. They are coming out of recording hiatus to perform exclusively with Aerosmith. Forming in the early noughties, Wolfmother released their self-titled debut album in October 2005 resulting in close to two million sales worldwide, shows all over the world, multiple ARIA Awards and a Grammy including numerous performance accolades with icons including Jimmy Page & AC/DC to Lenny Kravitz requesting Wolfmother as guests.

Following a brief hiatus, the band returned in 2009 with a fresh line-up and the band’s sophomore album “Cosmic Egg” debuting in the upper echelons of charts in over 13 countries including Australia, USA, UK, Canada and Denmark. "Cosmic Egg” also saw the inclusion of many of its songs included within a variety of major films. Wolfmother recently completed a sold out headline and festival tour across Europe and the UK and have since been hard at work writing and recording their third album due for release in 2013.

Grinspoon join the line up for the Sydney show. Following a massively successful Big Day Out run, the Aussie rockers are heading off on their own national “Black Rabbits” tour. Grinspoon’s latest singles Passerby and Branded from current album “Black Rabbits” have now joined classics like Chemical Heart, Ready One and Champion, a set described as ‘all killer no filler’.

Spiderbait also feature in Sydney.  With three talented songwriters, Spiderbait have never been confined by genre or the expectations of others.  Combining their punk rock roots with an appreciation of pop song craftsmanship, Spiderbait have put together Greatest Hits, featuring 22 of the greatest tunes such as Buy Me A Pony, Black Betty and new single On My Way. 

Australian rock band The Dead Daisies will also join Aerosmith on tour in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The Dead Daisies feature Jon Stevens, Charley Drayton, Richard Fortus, Jim Hilbun and David Lowy. Jon and David first met in 2006 but it wasn’t until 2012 that they started writing songs together. With a mutual love of classic late ‘70s and early ‘80s rock and soul, The Dead Daisies were born. Jon Stevens is one of Australia’s most popular and respected singers. He has had a remarkable career; from lead singer of rock bands Noiseworks and INXS to successful solo artist. Charley Drayton, an American multi-instrumentalist, musician and producer, has played as a drummer and bass guitarist for many bands including Keith Richards project X-pensive Winos, The Cult and Australian bands The Divinyls and Cold Chisel. Guitarist Richard Fortus is currently touring with legendary band Guns N’ Roses, and previously with Thin Lizzy. David Lowy on guitar is best known in Mink, Red Phoenix and The Angels and Jim Hilbun as bassist, saxophone player and melodic vocalist for The Angels and the Divinyls.

Kingswood and Diva Demolition complete the super Sydney line-up.

Coinciding with his national tour, Ed Sheeran performs for Channel Seven's morning program Sunrise and Nova969 in Sydney

At the age of 21, Ed Sheeran has achieved what many performers could hope to achieve in a lifetime. In the formative stages of his career, Sheeran came to the attention of singer and producer Jamie Foxx and was invited by Foxx to perform in LA, where he later secured a deal with Elton John's management company and supported Example on his UK tour.

Since dropping out of school at the age of 16, Sheeran has gigged persistently and in 2009 alone, he performed 312 gigs throughout the UK and Ireland. This perseverance and determination also translates into Sheeran's prolific songwriting. The industrious performer wrote his first EP at the ripe age of 14 with more following before the release of his debut studio album +, released in 2011, which has produced hits including You Need me, I Don't Need You, Lego House and the 3x platinum ARIA selling debut single The A Team.

Sheeran will perform for fans at Challenge Stadium in Perth on Saturday, February 23; Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide on Tuesday, February 26; WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong on Thursday, February 28; Sydney Entertainment Centre in Sydney on Friday, March 1; Riverstage in Brisbane on Saturday, March 2; and Festival Hall in Melbourne on Monday, March 4, Tuesday, March 5 and Wednesday, March 6.
