Venue: Palais Theatre - St Kilda
Date: 10th February 2009

Tonight is like a double header act for the lucky punters who had tickets to a sold out show at the Palais Theatre. Kate Cebrano takes to stage amongst talented musicians and sings many of her own songs plus a few covers. Songs include Bedroom Eyes, Kiss me Passionately and more. Kate always puts on a great show, talking to her audience, wiggles her amazing body and smiling with passion and honesty. The seats are practically full for Kate.
Simply Red are an English band basing their music on pop, rock, jazz and soul. This tour coincides with their greatest hits cd and 2009 will be the last time we’ll see the band. After 25 years Mick says the band will end, basically saying that 25 years is enough.
The crowd tonight is very mixed. Many people have been waiting 20 years to see Simply Red, some received the ticket from their children as Christmas presents. The first part of the set is slower songs such as ‘Holding back the years’, ‘For your Babies’ and ‘Fairground’. As this is the greatest hits tour, we soon heard all the upbeat songs ‘Money too tight to Mention’, ‘Something got me Started’, ‘The Right thing’ and the night ended on ‘If you don’t know me by now’ which was a slow song to end on, I feel it would have been better ending on a upbeat song, but hey – I didn’t hear the audience complain. Plenty of patrons in the aisles dancing away and I overheard many people saying it was a fantastic show. Thanks Mick for coming to Australia and we missed seeing you at the Day on the Green tour (which was cancelled due to the bushfire threat in the Yarra Valley).
Melbourne Live’s thoughts are with the people who have lost beloved ones or animals due to the bushfires. This is a tragedy that has brought many people together at such a devastating time in life. Please donate to the Animal Aid in Coldstream
