In a rare collaboration and line-up of our finest music talent, iconic Australian songwriter, Paul Kelly teams up with renowned jazz musician Paul Grabowsky, to create Meet Me In The Middle of the Air - a musical triumph of heavenly proportions!

Spanning Kelly's catalogue and including Be Careful What You Pray For, God's Hotel (lyrics by Nick Cave), and the specially written Meet Me In The Middle of the Air, new arrangements by Grabowsky turn Kelly's songs of spiritual theme into sweeping rhapsodies, soaring ragtime jazz and even sassy Cuban salsa.

Led by Paul Grabowsky and performed by Australia's pre-eminent contemporary music ensemble, the Australian Art Orchestra, the concert features Paul Kelly sharing the lead vocals with the soulful voices of Vika and Linda Bull, with sensational backing by the Choir With No Name.

The result is an unforgettable night of music of immense power, testament to Paul Kelly's songbook, one of the richest in contemporary Australian music.

This concert has only been performed on three sold out occasions previously; it may take some time for two of Australia's greatest musical minds to Meet in the Middle of the Air once again. Get your tickets quick!
