Entertain Me ! 17/12 to 18/12



Wow! Kylie can sing. When in Rome, sorry Melbourne, you have to see the local icons and as Kylie was playing on her own turf we had no other choice but to go. She performed for about 2hrs 20mins and we had a chance to relive our youth.



Kylie was joined on stage by her sister Dannii who sang Robbie's part in the song Kids.The audiences' reception to her was outstanding. Everyone seemed pleased to see her in such good health after her illness. We both enjoyed ourselves a lot more than anticipated. Great Show!




The next evening we checked out another local icon, but more local to us when in England, someone who used to be in some boy band called Take That. No, its not Gary Barlow but Robbie.



He's as cocky as ever and gloats in the adoration but it was well deserved after a two hour show featuring all the hits and his best mates Jonny Wilkes singing and Max Beesley on drums. Special mention to the support, an Australian band called Sneaky Sound System who were very good and worth checking out



Robbie really knows how to work the audience to his best advantage including putting on his sad and forlorn faces for effect.




Robbie with the Australian flag draped around his neck. It was the penultimate night of his eight month tour. Again another show worth seeing or DVD worth buying.
