The Wilbury Legends

starring lindsay field, sam see & glyn mason
In the late 80s the fresh, fun sound of The Traveling Wilburys came bursting out of our radios. Their instant, world-wide success was no fluke and no surprise, as this mysterious band of ‘unknowns’ was in fact a supergroup formed by some of the world’s most-beloved musicians. Instigated by George Harrison and Jeff Lynne and joined by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison, The Traveling Wilburys left their deep mark on pop music history.
Though The Wilburys never played live, their debut album won the 1990 Grammy for Best Rock Performance. Now, THE WILBURY LEGENDS show is coming to the MEMO and traces the careers of these five superstars who united almost by accident to remind the world of the roots of rock ’n’ roll. The show features Wilburys’ songs and many hits by its illustrious individual members.
THE WILBURY LEGENDS show’s music director Sam See, joined by Lindsay Field & Glyn Mason — his compadres from Field See & Mason — have put together a stellar band of top Australian musicians, including drummer Angus Burchall, keyboardist Adrian Scott and bassist Paul Cartwright.
Members of the band have worked with John Farnham, Air Supply, The Seekers, Olivia Newton-John, Sherbet, Ariel, Brian Cadd, Glenn Shorrock, Jimmy Barnes and Black Sorrows.

Stevie Nicks Tribute Band

SNI has been referred to as the most authentic sounding tribute to Fleetwood Mac to date! The haunting vocals and performance of Diana Grace are "Spot On" as Stevie Nicks from the early years of the 1970's, and Monty Sommer recreates Lindsey Buckingham's vocals and unique and intricate guitar work to sheer perfection! World Class musicianship combined with the chemistry and performance of all five band members is pure magic and all with no tracks! Laurie Richardson captures the essence of Christine McVie in voice, as well as on keyboards. The band showcases the Best of Fleetwood Mac plus specially selected songs from Stevie Nicks' solo career. Dave Christensen is superb as Mick Fleetwood on drums and style, and Jeff Bennett on bass rounds out the group with his solid rock groove as John McVie! The shows are exciting as well as intimate, as they connect with the audience and engage with them in what can only be described as a magical shared musical experience!
