The Mid-60's music scene was dominated by British Acts; three of which became household names – The Beatles – The Rolling Stones and…..
Herman's Hermits, who are one of the most successful groups throughout the world. From their beginning in Manchester, England, on April 1st 1964, the band has chalked up over 23 hit singles, 10 hit albums, 3 major movies and countless television shows and concert tours all over the world – up to date they have total record sales of over 75 million.
Since the departure of former band member Peter Noone in 1971, to pursue a solo career, the group has never stopped. Original member Barry (the Bean) Whitwam, has guided the band from strength to strength, into one of the hardest working acts in the business – they still average more than 150 one-night stands per year – and reckon they maintain their stamina by having an amazing sense of humour.
Their touring schedule takes them to Germany, Belgium, Holland, the Scandinavian countries, the U.S.A., Canada, Australia and New Zealand on a regular basis, and they still find time to perform in their home country the United Kingdom, packing in the audiences at every venue and delighting them with their solid musicianship, vocal ability and dynamic stage presence.
The ‘Golden Oldies' still make up a large part of their show – much to the enjoyment of their fans, who can't resist singing along to Mrs Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter, Silhouettes, Dandy, Henry VIII and others too numerous to mention.
From the Sixties, through the Seventies, Eighties, Nineties and into the 21st Century Herman's Hermits are still ‘Into Something Good'.

Toni Childs Encore Australian Tour
 | ||
|
Back by popular demand, three time Grammy nominee Toni Childs is heading to Australia for an encore live national tour in September and October 2009. Toni Childs performed a string of sell-out shows in Australia earlier this year and will once again be thrilling audiences with her signature husky vocals and emotive lyrics. Toni's Special Guest on the first part of the tour is Wendy Matthews, one of Australia's most acclaimed vocal talents and joining Toni on the final leg of her tour is revered musician Bobby Flynn.
Tickets now on sale!
The upcoming tour sees Toni performing her blockbuster hits, as well as showcasing her latest hit album Keep The Faith. The songs from this emotionally hard-hitting album are a blend of roots, rock, folk and gospel songs. Toni's tour earlier this year demonstrated to audiences the enormous soul and vision she is famous for.
Best known for her heavily R&B influenced Don't Walk Away, Toni Childs hit the big time in 1988 when her critically acclaimed debut album Union went Double Platinum in Australia, selling 200,000 albums. The same year she was nominated for three Grammys, including Best New Artist. Her second album, House of Hope went three times platinum and in 1997, the release of Many Rivers to Cross caused her Greatest Hits album to go five times platinum, selling over 500,000 albums.
In 2008, Toni Childs also launched a new body care range, Feminine Mysteries™, which is inextricably linked to her Keep The Faith album. It also encourages people to connect, heal and transform the world through love.
Living on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, Toni has spent the last eight years recovering from the Graves Disease she was diagnosed with in the summer of 1997. Overcoming her battle with this rare stress disorder, she recently came back from her musical exile giving fans so much more than they might ever have expected.
With a talent for picking the mood of the times, Toni Childs seems determined to go beyond affirming her role as an important voice of inspiration for an entirely new generation to explore the zeitgeist defining theme of global connection.
Wendy Matthews, one of Australia's finest voices, is joining Toni Childs as Special Guest on stage for select dates around the country. Wendy will be a part of the line up from the beginning of the tour until the show at St George's Basin on Sunday 18th October.
Winner of seven ARIAs, Wendy Matthews' music and talent have captivated Australian audiences since the 1980s. Singing upfront with her group Absent Friends, Wendy's hit ballad I Don't Wanna Be With Nobody But You reached Number One in the charts in 1990. Wendy then released her solo debut Émigré, which went Double Platinum and spawned the hits Token Angels, Lets Kiss and Woman's Gotta Have It . This was followed up by the Triple Platinum album Lily featuring the mega hit The Day You Went Away plus If Only I Could and Friday's Child. Wendy has continued to charm critics and audiences alike ever since. Wendy Matthews has a sublime, expressive voice that never fails to move those who hear it.
Commencing on Tuesday 20th October in Yamba, Toni's Special Guest will be true music artist Bobby Flynn. Bobby began his musical journey as a child writing songs and melodies that he described as ‘magic', but it was his appearance as a contestant on Australian Idol in 2006 that really put Bobby on Australian's musical radar. Bobby became the idol revolutionary turning genres on their side and giving audiences the most memorable performances of the season. Bobby's journey continues as he constantly tours the country with his band The Omega 3 while working on new material for a follow up to their 2008 album Out Front.

David Strassman – Ted E's Farewell Tour
 | ||
|
David Strassman has big news on his 2009 Australian tour – it's "Ted E's Farewell Tour". Tragically, the much adored Ted E Bare is announcing his show biz retirement.
The pressure, the publicity, the paparazzi, the tabloids! And – most of all – Chuck Wood! It's finally too much for one shy bear to handle. Ted E's decided to spend more time with his family. But what family? Where will he go?
As hilarious as ever, the show is a star-studded tribute to Ted E Bare's greatest showbiz moments. And it shares the pain of his struggle, trying to understand where he belongs in the world.
Of course, Ted E Bare's departure leaves a huge hole to fill. Who could fill Ted E's shoes? Strassman's journey of discovery uncovers some new and extraordinary characters, desperate to join the show.
Meanwhile, the existing characters battle to get more of the show. The evilly sarcastic Chuck Wood, the grumpy and cantankerous Grandpa Fred, attention-seeking A.N.G.E.L. and intergalactic Kevin enter a battle of wits - so prepare for a wild ride of biting humor and desperate behavior!
But will Ted E Bare really leave for good? Where will he go, who is his real family, and can this psychologically twisted show survive without its shy side? Could this be the end of everyone? Make sure you find out!
