Rather than using a band for melody, rhythm, bass and drum parts, Tommy plays all that – and more – on one guitar. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire young Emmanuel to try this “fingerpicker” style. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel’s biggest fans. Guitar players of all levels come to his shows to witness the magic hands of the “Guitar Wizard of Oz”, but his appeal goes far beyond musicians. Tommy Emmanuel’s message is pure love for the guitar and the music and his delight in sharing it with the world, one audience at a time. Special guest, Frank vignola is widely regarded as a monster player and composer, and has played with everyone from Les Paul and Madonna through to Donald Fagen and the Boston Pops. This will be Frank’s first visit to Australia. “The best (guitar player) I’ve ever seen“ - Eric Clapton “…one of the greatest players on the planet!” - Chet Atkins     Helpful links Add to 2012 Season Subscribtion View the full 2012 Season http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/?cat=3355&id=182514 http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/?cat=3355&id=182514 27/10/2012 Comedy Trying not to judge others is extremely hard work.  Having them not judge you is even harder.  Every single day I try to give up judging again.  To be a better person.  Everything’s going fine until I nearly get taken out by another white Range Rover driver at the school drop off and I’m back to square one. Mummy’s home. Enjoy my rage. Australia’s first Celebrity Apprentice, Lady Julia Morris gets the job done in ‘No Judgement’ - a very funny evening of stories and songs about our daily frustrations and how not to kill someone.  “Morris has a tight grip on delivering the whirling minutiae of her quick-witted and crowded mind.” Sydney Morning Herald “The super-sexy diva of comedy is deeply, fundamentally FUNNY.” Metro (London) Short Version “She can reduce an audience to a limp heap of laughed-out exhaustion. She has the artfully-written patter rich in skilful self-derogation, diabolical powers of observation, a twisted sense of absurdity and cultural acuity, delivered with devastating timing. A jewel in the national crown.”
