Our weekend of live music, Friday night we kicked things of at the Mark Hotel with Funkapedia and their cool Funk/Rock tunes and front man Heavy Dee’s quick wit, always good fun. Then it was off to The Cambridge for Kieran Wicks and Melbourne’s Aimee Francis’s sets, both were sensational. We hope to see Aimee back in Newcastle soon with her full band. Only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay to catch headliner, Benj Axwel’s set which we heard went off.
We finished our Friday night off at the Beaches with a great set from Mitch Capone And The Wise Guys. They played most of the tunes off their yet-to-be-released Bad Blood Album. Keep an eye out for this one, it will be a ripper.
Warners Bay Hotel on Saturday night for some Classic rock covers with 4 Letter word, the boys had the dance floor pumping all night. Then off to Lizotte’s for the Dusty In Concert show, I’ve never been a real fan of tribute shows, but I must say I enjoyed this one. Monique Montez’s vocals were sensational and a tight and polished band to back it all up, a must-see for any Dusty Springfield fan.
Sunday, what better way to finish our weekend than a quiet lunch by the lake at Pippis at the Point with some sweet tunes from the very talented Karen O’Shea.
So, what are you up to this weekend? Newcastle has another massive weekend of live music coming up, so get out there and enjoy some of the best live music this country has on offer.
