Australia Day concert @ Bella Vista Farm Park, Monday 26th January 2015
Kate Ceberano and her band took to a very wet stage in North-West Sydney as part of the Australia Day celebrations at Bella Vista Farm Park last night. With a constant drizzle all day, it was only going to be the very keen that would venture outdoors to see Kate perform and that turned out to be the case.
Kate exudes such a warmth and her broad smile, despite the conditions made the inclement weather seem insignificant. The kids were encouraged to “dance crazy” which they did and everybody else raised umbrellas in time to the music instead of arms.
The biggest surprise of the night was a 15 minute Fleetwood Mac inspired medley with Kate enjoying herself immensely singing Landslide, Go your own way and practically side one of the Mac’s Rumours album. A rare chance to sing something different was relished and the band seemed to be enjoying themselves too.
Shane Jacobson did a sterling job as MC and a fresh new country trio called Victoria Avenue warmed up the sparse crowd as best they could before Kate Ceberano. Great harmonies between the 3 girls and you will hear a lot more about Victoria Avenue in the years to come.
