Apart from writing many reviews for Sting’s The Last Ship, Opera Queensland’s Rusalka, Camerata’s, Revolution Remixed, Musica Viva’s Dorik Quartet and Lloyd van’t Hoff I travelled with Opera Queensland for their magical Festival of Outback Opera in Winton and Longreach from the 19-25 May.
Here are the reviews for each.

Opera Queensland’s Festival of Outback Opera
This last outback event was where I met a brilliant entertainer Bradley McCaw who has offered to sing at my Brisbane book launches on the 13 August, Books@Stones and at Riverbend Books on the 1 September.
McCaw is Brisbane’s Billy Joel, but he’s also a singer-songwriter who writes some really good original material.
Wynnum Fringe is a terrific event. Worth locking in for next year. Here’s the full review.
The event was well attended by experienced and emerging musicians alike. UQ students sung everywhere, and were a chorus for the main staged event.
