LIONEL RICHIE DANCES INTO 'an evening on the green'
Sandalford Wines, Swan Valley: Saturday December 15 (SOLD OUT) & Sunday December 16
We are proud to annouce the incomparable LIONEL RICHIE will headline the next series of the popular outdoor event 'an evening on the green' at Sandalford Wines; his first tour of Australia in 20 years!
RICHIE will have audiences dancin' not on the ceiling but in the vineyards at five winery concerts as part of his national tour in December, including Sandalford Wines on Saturday, December 15 (SOLD OUT) and Sunday, December 16.
Lionel today said he is excited about his return to Australia and New Zealand. 'I'm really looking forward
to this tour. I can't believe it was 20 years since I last toured there! I hope my fans are ready to dance, because if I have my way they're not going to sit down once the show starts.'
With close to 100 million albums sold, a phenomenal 22 Top 10 hits, five Grammy Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe, there are few artists in the world who can rival the success of LIONEL RICHIE.
Indisputably much of Lionel's ongoing career success can be accredited to his considerable talents as a live performer. Recent UK and USA tour reviews highlight just why Lionel continues to sell out tour
after tour.
The Manchester Evening News gave the first of three 14,000 capacity sold out Manchester concerts 5 out of 5 stars.
The New York Times wrote '[he wasted] no time in demonstrating both an undiminished voice and a willingness to revisit old hits.'
The Bolton News (Manchester)declared 'the man gave his all to an audience who were on their feet allthe way through. It was a truly professional show, with humour, superb lighting and great musicianship. The only downside of the show was the fact that it had to end!'
The Oakland Tribune wrote 'The pop/R&B vocalist is a true old-school entertainer, one of the best left in the business.'
During his two hour concert Lionel draws from his enormous back catalogue of chart-toppers such as 'All Night Long', 'Truly', 'Hello', 'Dancing On The Ceiling', 'Endless Love', 'Say You, Say Me', and the Commodores hits such as 'Still', 'Three Times A Lady', 'Sail On', 'Easy', 'Brick House' plus newer hits such as his US RnB #1 hit 'I Call It Love' from current album 'Coming Home' (Universal Music).
A LIONEL RICHIE concert leaves few people in their seats, as Lionel's infectious enjoyment in his performance has fans up and dancing from the opening numbers.
It's hard to think of a better way to enjoy this incredible entertainer than through the experience of good food, good wine and great music on a warm December night!
Joining Lionel as special guest artist is Australia's favourite disco diva and celebrated singer, Marcia Hines. Like Lionel, Marcia has been a true survivor of the music industry. With seven top 10 hits between
1975-1981, Marcia's most recent album 'Discotheque' (Liberation Music) charted into the Top 10 on the Australian ARIA charts.
We know her as Australia's undisputed Queen of Soul, stage musical star, chart-topper, hit-maker, dance floor diva and most recently, the voice of reason on Australian Idol's judging panel, but live performance is what Marcia loves best!
'a day on the green' celebrated a landmark 100th concert in February this year, and now coming into our 7th year, is undoubtedly one of Australia's leading outdoor concert events. This concert with the sensational LIONEL RICHIE promises to be one of the best yet!
