Brisbane band The Honey Sliders are bringing this treasured and well documented final ever Beatles live performance - The Rooftop Concert - back to life at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre on Sat 19th Feb, 2022.
As seen on Peter Jackson’s new film Get Back, The Rooftop concert features the classic tracks ‘Don’t Let Me Down’, ‘Get Back’, One After 909’ and more. The Rooftop Concert saw the Fab Four get back to their roots, showing the world once again, that they were at their best when they played simple rock n roll. The Honey Sliders will also be presenting a second set of late period Beatle deep cuts that not even The Beatles performed live. With a full colour psychedelic video screen, light show, this show is a sight and sound spectacular. The Honey Sliders bring one their favourite albums back to life every year. More as a respectful homage than a tribute, they have created a legacy of live concerts that range from performing The Rolling Stones’ classic albums Sticky Fingers and Let it Bleed (featuring Tim Rogers), to The Band’s Last Waltz (with guests Bernard Fanning and Troy Cassar-Daley). They have played The Beatles’ timeless album Abbey Road, as well as the Easy Rider Soundtrack, Neil Young’s On the Beach, and more. Selling out venues with their interpretations of these influential albums, the Honey Sliders have become well respected for their musical dexterity, being able to successfully and skilfully navigate this pantheon of rock n roll. The Honey Sliders are, Danny Widdicombe ( 3 x ARIA Award nominated The Wilson Pickers), Dan Mansfield (The Gin Club), Bos Borley (Resin Dogs) and Ben Carstens (Mexico City). Separately each of these musicians are well respected in the Australian music scene, but together they are known as one of the few bands in Australia that can turn their hands to such a dizzying array of musical styles and concepts. Don’t miss The Honey Siders performing The Beatles’ Rooftop Concert + The best of the late period Beatles, live and in person! |

Karma County’s debut album was released on Kansas, USA based label Laughing Boy in 1996. Arriving on stage in those early days around Sydney with just a snare drum, acoustic guitar and double bass, the band foreshadowed the acoustic roots movement that has become an essential element of contemporary Australian music with songs like the evergreen Postcard. Since those small beginnings they have waltzed their way into the hearts and minds of music fans, and critics, all over the world. They went on to release four more celebrated studio albums and one double album retrospective, including ARIA nominee Olana (1999), and ARIA winner Into The Land of Promise (2000). They played house concerts, pubs in the bush, the Sydney Opera House, and international festivals like WOMAD Auckland, WOMAD Reading, WOMAD Seattle and more. And occasionally doubled up as the backing band for their late friend and mentor, legendary singer Jimmy Little, in Australia, Europe and North America. The three founding members – Brendan Gallagher voc/guitar, Michael Galeazzi bass, & Stuart Eadie drums – head out on the road again to play Last Stop Heavenly Heights in full, and some other much loved songs from their unique songbook. Good music lasts forever. |
