NOISEWORKS - MT COTTON
23rd January, 2012A CELEBRATION OF CLASSIC OZ ROCK!
NOISEWORKS, IAN MOSS, DARYL BRAITHWAITE, RICHARD CLAPTON, DRAGON & CHOIRBOYS!
SIRROMET WINES - SUNDAY MAY 6 (Labour Day long weekend)
Since 2001, a day on the green has taken some of Australia’s greatest music to some of its greatest natural landscapes. The current summer season is the 12th year of the popular outdoor event and more than 2 million fans have attended the concerts.
True to its format, the next event at Sirromet Wines, Mt Cotton will be a spectacular day of entertainment with a stellar line-up including NOISEWORKS, IAN MOSS, DARYL BRAITHWAITE, RICHARD CLAPTON, DRAGON and CHOIRBOYS.
As with all events, the natural and stunning Sirromet Wines estate provides an incredible backdrop for what promises to be one of the best Australian rock shows ever to be staged in Queensland!
Rolling Stone described Jon Stevens as having “one of the most powerful rock voices Australia has ever heard”, and Noiseworks will celebrate some of the finest moments in Australian rock. NOISEWORKS were formed in Sydney in 1984 and the 80’s rock era was never the same again. ‘Take Me Back’, ‘Hot Chilli Woman’, ‘No Lies’ and ‘Touch’ were smash hits that helped propel the band to enormous popularity across Australia. Noiseworks are ready to rock Sirromet!
There are few guitarists in rock who have the sheer breadth of touch and experience of IAN MOSS. From the scorching cold of “Khe Sanh” to the acoustic-led cool of the ARIA #1 “Tucker’s Daughter” Moss has proven himself one of Australia’s most gifted musicians. Arguably his most celebrated composition, the timeless “Tuckers Daughter” alone should ensure him “national treasure” status.
DARYL BRAITHWAITE enjoyed huge popularity in the 70s and 80s with Sherbet and then as a solo artist. His hits include ‘As The Days Go By’, ‘One Summer’ and the classic ‘Horses’, one of the most iconic songs in Australian music history. After an 18-year break from the music industry, Daryl recently returned to recording and live performance and has been widely embraced.
RICHARD CLAPTON has endeared himself to music-lovers everywhere through his heartfelt inspired performances and a songbook that defines our times. With hits like ‘Girls On The Avenue’, ‘Deep Water’, ‘Capricorn Dancer’ and ‘I Am An Island’ Richard was a thoroughly deserving and popular inductee into the ARIA Hall Of Fame.
With an extraordinary run of chart-toppers including ‘Are You Old Enough’, ‘April Sun In Cuba’, ‘Still In Love With You’, ‘Rain’ and many others, DRAGON has been one of Australasia’s biggest-ever pop bands.
Running at full throttle, CHOIRBOYS with their anthem ‘Run To Paradise’ and more recently ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ are rock legends who remain a fantastic live act.
Noiseworks, Ian Moss, Daryl Braithwaite, Richard Clapton, Dragon and Choirboys – see you at Sirromet!
