One of the UK’s most cherished entertainers, Charlie Landsborough is about to embark on his final tour of Australia.
After five highly successful visits Down Under, Charlie has amassed a legion of loyal fans, but he’s decided it’s time to bid a fond farewell to his Aussie mates in a five-week tour around the country.
From May 4 through to June 10, Charlie will cover five Australian states – Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania – doing afternoon and evening shows – including a special Mother’s Day luncheon and performance at Ulmarra, near Grafton.
A seasoned performer, Charlie came to international attention with his best-selling hit, What Colour is the Wind, his own composition about a little blind boy’s take on the world through unseeing eyes.
Any Charlie Landsborough performance can include music that ranges from inspirational to country, ballad to anthem, folk to blues – and all very easy on the ears.
Had he not been such a successful singer and songwriter, Charlie could easily have become a sought-after stand-up comedian – as he has a natural gift for making people laugh.
Charlie’s musical amigos for his farewell lap of the country include some of Australia’s finest players – The Charlie Landsborough Band – featuring Vaughan Jones on keyboard; Kelvin Nolan on lead guitar and Dallas Southam on pedal steel/dobro.
He will also be accompanied on the road by his good friend and tour promoter, Terry Gordon OAM, who will open the show each day/night.
