Cool change forecast for Cairns stage

A COOL Change is coming north. The tour, featuring Glenn Shorrock, Wendy Matthews, and Doug Parkinson, will hit the stage in Cairns in March.

Glenn Shorrock is best known as the original voice of the Little River Band and still enthrals audiences around the world with his extensive repertoire and international hits.

Wendy Matthews has an enviable reputation as an artist par excellence with a sublime, expressive voice that always moves those who hear it.

Doug Parkinson has been regarded as one of Australian’s finest vocalists, a "singer’s singer", who is one of the truly great soul/R&B vocalists of our time.

In March 2010, these three legends of Australian music will take to the stage accompanied by their Rock Orchestra for a massive tour of Queensland.

Together they invite you to join them on a magical journey, reliving their collective catalogue of hits such as Help, Lonesome Loser, A Little Ray Of Sunshine and Reminiscing from Glenn; the unforgettable Dear Prudence from Doug, and Wendy’s I Don’t Want To Be With Anyone But You, and The Day You Went Away.

Glenn Shorrock was obviously excited at the prospect of the tour.

"I’m thrilled to be heading up to Queensland and am particularly excited about the opportunity to put all of my years of performing together into this one concert," he says.

"And it’s not just the songs; the evening will also be full of stories and anecdotes. When Matthews, Parkinson and I hit the stage the script goes out the window and the music takes over so there are sure to be lots of laughter and surprises."

When these three Aussie music icons, who set the standard for today’s singers, come together for a live concert, audiences know they are in for a memorable night of music.

The Cool Change Tour is at the Cairns Civic Theatre on Tuesday, March 2. Tickets range between $59-$69, available at Ticketlink or by calling 1300 855 835.
