The Highwaymen Tribute show has been 'on the road again' of late, playing to sell-out crowds in major cities and rural centres throughout Queensland, the Northern Territory and New South Wales and the 'full house' signs have gone up at concert and dinner shows alike.
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson were already legends when they teamed up in the mid-eighties and took the world by storm with the Jimmy Webb penned number 'Highwayman'. Several tours followed and audiences worldwide flocked to witness a live show that evoked longings for the simplicity of a lost era, the 'old west'.
The Highwaymen Tribute Show is unique - it is the only genuine Highwaymen tribute in the Southern Hemisphere and does not compromise when it comes to content. The show has been winning new fans everywhere and audience members who saw the Highwaymen live during their tours of Australia and New Zealand in the nineties have been unanimously glowing in their praise as well, describing the Highwaymen Tribute as recapturing the true spirit and 'feel' of a Highwaymen concert.
The Highwaymen Tribute Show was a year in pre-production and includes a host of Highwaymen favourites like Silver Stallion, Desperadoes Waiting for a Train and Live Forever, along with songs from it's four legendary members: Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Show members Dail Platz (Cash and Nelson), Paul Mostyn (Jennings) and Brent Lillie (Kristofferson) have been wowing audiences with a repetoire that also includes over forty great songs like 'City of New Orleans', 'Boy Named Sue', 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' and 'Me and Bobby McGee'.
'To be a Highwayman', an original song penned by the Highwaymen Tribute show members (Lillie and Mostyn have won numerous national and international songwriting awards) will be recorded this year. This 'tribute within a tribute' demonstrates why the show has been enjoying such outstanding success - each and every show member truly respects and admires the Highwaymen and their music. Or, as one fan put it: 'Listen to the original and then compare. Everyone involved has worked very hard to get the tempo and the phrasing down correctly. OUTSTANDING JOB. THAT ONLY COMES OUT OF THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR THE GROUP AND THE SONGS'.
Really, it's five shows rolled into one. With costume changes, digital sound and lighting and stage backdrop, harmonica, fiddle and banjo The Highwaymen Tribute Show is one spectacular event not to be missed.

The days of tribute shows making fun of ABBA's music and Swedish accents are now in the past. ABBA's incredible genius and obviously timeless music have proven this Swedish supergroup deserve to be taken seriously.
ABBALIVE refuses to be just another ABBA tribute show! Each of the team members are specialists in their respective instruments, not only in qualifications and performance, but in lecturing and teaching as well.
Over a six month period ABBALIVE meticulously dissected the songs of ABBA and carefully placed every note and magical harmony back together to create a brilliant replica of these wonderful songs. The team are constantly reassessing the songs and footage of the real group to ensure they stay as purely ABBA as possible.
ABBALIVE exactly replicate ABBA in every sense from the music and harmonies, costumes, choreography, mannerisms, and personalities of the REAL ABBA. ABBA was a 'clean cut' group with a respected image who produced brilliant shows and music. We have the utmost respect for the image they worked so hard for, and therefore keep every detail of the show as authentic as possible.
The fabulous music and magical vocals of ABBA are now presented as never before, and this professional production provides tasteful quality entertainment for all ages.
Using a live band, full choreography, spectacular costumes, and brilliant production, it is without a doubt the best ABBA show to emerge from Australia, and after selling out shows throughout Australia and internationally for over 5 years, there is no doubt ABBALIVE is without a doubt the best choice for the closest experience to ABBA you will EVER find.

"The Eagels Band is a stunningly accurate tribute to Southern California's most famous musical group, The Eagles. One of the most successful bands of the seventies, The Eagles enjoyed huge worldwide success with hits like Take It Easy, Hotel California, Desperado and New Kid in Town. The Eagles conquered the world and even today, the concert DVD "Hell Freezes Over" is still the best selling DVD ever!
"Comprising of six talented musicians, each bringing their own style and flair to the group, The Eagels Band is intent on delivering a near replica of a live EAGLES performance that is so precise, so intense, so unbelievable, it comes frighteningly close to the originals themselves."
