Cadd & Morris
Brian Cadd & Russell Morris
Supported by J.R. Reyne Duo
After a 7 year break from touring together they reunite to perform a limited amount of shows.
Australian music icons, BRIAN CADD and RUSSELL MORRIS, have been friends for over forty years and have been touring together from time to time over the past decades and are back after a 7 year break to perform a limited amount of shows.
Together, Brian and Russell deliver a dynamic show of not only their hits: “Little Ray of Sunshine”, “Ginger Man”, “Don’t you know its Magic” BRIAN CADD & “Real Thing”, “Sweet Sweet Love”, “Wings of an Eagle” RUSSELL MORRIS, but also a selection of seventies rock classics that will have the audience singing along with them. They may arrive on stage as 60 year old mates but they turn themselves, and their audience, truly back to 20 year old rockers.
Their show is a relentless sequence of hit songs, laughter and mockery. Never scared to take a jab at each other, on or off the stage, they now know each other affectionately as “The Turtle without a Shell” and “The Cheshire Cat”. You figure out which is which!!
Brian Cadd said “It is rare and enjoyable to spend ninety minutes on the stage every night with someone who has travelled the same musical road and number of years as I have. It makes the musical highlights, the songs and the silliness all that much more fun. Come and see what we mean!”

The CLAPTON UNPLUGGED Show
the man… the music…
celebrating Eric Clapton & his legendary Unplugged Concert
……Layla….Signe …..Before You Accuse Me….Running on Faith…..
……Tears In Heaven…..Wonderful Tonight…I Shot the Sheriff…
Eric Clapton’s career has spanned over 6 decades. Lauded as being the greatest guitarist of all time, his roots are firmly & obviously embedded in the blues tradition of which he remains both a student & visionary. In his unforgettable ‘Unplugged’ Concert, Clapton paid homage & respect to his roots & those fellow legends that influenced his playing so significantly.
The music was minimalist, alternating between his reworked pop songs such as Layla, the traditional blues of Robert Johnson & Bo Diddley, and new songs , including Tears in Heaven, that were an outpouring & expression of a very difficult period of his life.
It was honest, real, fun, at times raw, & very very special!
The ensuing Album release won 3 Grammy Awards & sold in excess of 26 million copies worldwide.
‘The Clapton Unplugged Show’ features the inspired vocals & guitar playing of Mark Shelley, who, with his long term band, respectfully recreates the magic of that event.
