Paul Kelly did an 'a-z' tour here 4yrs ago. he played 4 consecutive nights in each city working through his back catalogue,as the tour title suggests, from A-Z,did about 28 songs per night working through the alphabet,it was fantastic, but four nights in a row is a lot of effort to sit and listen. He's doing it again early next year,but playing different songs from last time,he's just released an 8cd set of the last A-Z tour.
i love Paul Kelly,very underrated songwriter IMHO.

all of a sudden i feel like throwing up!
i never had much time for 'human nature',sorry. Shannon has a reasonable voice and i like couple of his songs, he was runner up to Guy Sebastion in the first series of 'australian idol',Shannon should have won it,he had the best vocal range of all the contestants.
ps. for anyone about to criticise my interest in 'idol' type shows,that is the only series i watched because it was new at the time,and that was 8 yrs ago

uh...............I watched the most recent season of American Idol.
That's how I determine if the singers are any good.

Lol thanks for those. U should check out the album the truth about lies by Christian ingebrigtsen-it has one of the original versions of learn to fly on it. It was actually going to be a single for the band chris has reformed called a1. I actually prefer shannons version of the song and saw him live here in London a couple of years ago!
Lol I was introduced to human nature by an Australian friend a few years back lol and what can I say other than I am a sucker for a decent boyband
