Dear Wine Club Member
Sandalford Wines and Michael Coppel Presents are very excited to announce that Crowded House (www.crowdedhouse.com) will be performing at Sandalford Estate, Swan Valley on Sunday 14 November, 2010.
Unlike many other previous concerts at Sandalford, there will no reserved seating front of stage for this event (VIPs inclusive).
Crowded House, not just an Australasian favourite, but one of the world’s most exceptional and enduring bands, will embark on a national tour this November, on stage for two hours delivering the energetic, charismatic and hit-filled shows they are renowned for across the globe.
Founded on the highly-gifted songwriting talents of Neil Finn, Crowded House have an epic back catalogue including such incredible songs as 'Weather With You', 'Four Seasons In One Day', 'Don't Dream It's Over', 'Fall At Your Feet' and 'Locked Out', and albums ‘Crowded House’, ‘Woodface’ and ‘Together Alone’.
Back to their best following their 2007 reunion and the critically acclaimed platinum-selling album ‘Time on Earth’, the band released their sixth studio album ‘Intriguer’ in June, heading straight to the top of the ARIA chart to notch up their fifth number-one album.
Joining founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour are drummer Matt Sherrod and U.S. based keyboard player Mark Hart.
Earlier this year the band performed a trio of Australian dates including a rare and relaxed show at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre. Fans, thrilled by the intimate show, were treated to Crowded House classics and samples of their latest album Intriguer. Old and new received with rapturous applause, making for an extraordinary evening.
Returning from an extensive North American tour, this is the chance to see this much-loved band giving it their all at Sandalford Estate in the Swan Valley this November.
