SA Footy

A movie about the life and career of Paul Kelly - spanning almost 40 years and a staggering 350 songs - is playing for one night only on Oct 25th at Her Majesty's Theatre. The great man himself will speak after the movie.

Not sure if there are any tickets left or if it is playing anywhere else after that.

A preview can be found here

Love to get a ticket to this!

Should be a great night and hope they release the DVD.

So would I but wll be away

On my birthday. I seen him in a play at Her Majesty's Theatre in 92.

Only one day to go can't wait...

Well last nights preview of the film was certainly a grand night out.

A packed house at Her Majesty's Theatre was treated to a fine documentary of Paul Kelly's life and career, including early footage of his first bands, interviews with PK, his band members, friends and family taking us from his childhood in Adelaide and on to Melbourne and Sydney.

Needless to say there is lots of music in the film, and the great man said a few words and played a few of his new songs after the film.

A highlight for me was when footage of PK as a young man wearing a Norwood cap was greeted with "Go Redlegs" from some crowd members. PK's love of sport featured in the film including him being a handy footy, cricket and tennis player.

A few beers at the Metropolitan after the show topped off a great evening.

My wife's a teacher and a former principal of hers had a brother who was a muso.
As a kid, our friend was invited inot his brother's room to check out this bloke auditioning for a band.
After the auditioner left, our friend was asked his opinion.
"Not much," was the response.
The auditioner was Paul Kelly.

Spewing I missed it, hope it comes out on DVD
