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=182301 http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/?cat=3355&id=182301 25/02/2012 Music And Concerts David Campbell Takes on the '80s with new album and tour - Let's Go!

A national Let's Go tour will kick off in February 2012, with tickets also on sale November 18.

On the new album Campbell says "For this album, I wanted to put a fresh spin on some dance-pop classics with a big-band brass and string sound. We went back to basics and jammed some of our favourite tunes from our adolescence, and I couldn't be happier with the result - an album of some of my favourite hits and party anthems - re-imagined in a way I know will keep my audiences on their feet!" David is one of the country's most popular entertainers. Known for his energetic LIVE shows, and selling out tours from coast to coast - expect nothing less from this next Tour.

Rock like never before and take the journey back to the Class of 59!!!

With a multi-talented cast, the show delivers a stack of red hot tracks in an appropriate context. Rock 'n' Roll comes alive again in this terrific show worthy of an international audience." Dance with us back to an era when rock and roll influenced and created a social movement for the teenagers of its day... an era where black horned rimmed glasses became a trend... an era where petrol was so cheap that it fuelled not only the hot rods on the roads but fired up a musical movement that would only be lived for a short while but would last in the hearts and souls of billions for eternity.

From West Side Story to Candide, celebrated classical composer Leonard Bernstein knew how to make a big song and dance. Bernstein regarded Mass, a kaleidoscopic mix of music, dance and theatre featuring a symphony orchestra, a rock band, a choir and opera singers as his defining achievement. Commissioned for the opening of the Kennedy Center in 1970, Mass features a small village of performers and a supremely charismatic lead in the ‘Celebrant’, performed by the great US gospel singer Jubilant Sykes. The spectacle of Mass is underpinned by a profound statement of human faith that is explosive, cathartic and ultimately uplifting.
