As part of Country Club's 30th Birthday celebration we present 5 time ARIA Award winner and respected as one of Australia’s iconic musicians, Ian Moss.

Ian delivers an unforgettable sound – not only as a telling soloist on guitar but especially with his silken voice, ringing with clarity and resonating with pure soul.

While primarily recognised as an axeman of unusual tenacity and sweet melodic sensibility, Ian’s distinctive vocal is the essential signature of his soulful, bluesy muse – as it has been since his first tentative foray into music during the early 1970s.

Harry Manx has been dubbed an “essential link” between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. His unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to

Born on the Isle of Man, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe, Japan, India and Brazil. He honed his hypnotic live show on street corners, in cafes, bars and at festivals. But it was Indian music that captured his attention and in the mid 80s he began five-year tutelage with Rajasthani Indian musician V ishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for A Meeting by the River). Receiving the gift of Bhatt’s custom-made, self-designed Mohan Veena (a 20-stringed sitar/guitar hybrid) was the catalyst for Harry to forge a new path with his now signature east-meets-west style of music. While the mohan veena itself is beyond exotic, Manx uses it within traditional Western sound structures.

Blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique “mysticssippi” flavour. It’s hard to resist, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.

“Watching Harry play tonight I feel like I learned something new”.. Bruce Springsteen

IRELAND’S KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC’S FIRST AUSTRALIAN TOUR

In 2005 Mick was nominated for The Country Music Association Global Artist Award.

This was the first time that an Irish Country Music Artist was nominated for this Prestigious Award and as an indication of the significance regarding his contribution to Country Music in Ireland and beyond.

Acclaimed UK comedian, actor, writer, TV presenter, radio host and all-round Renaissance man Lenny Henry returns to his roots with a funky, funny and personal one man show, Cradle to Rave, about the thing he loves most: music.

Touring nationally in June 2012, Cradle to Rave is Henry’s most personal show yet, offering a hilarious and touching insight into a man to whom music matters a little too much. From growing up thinking Elvis was a relative as there were so many pictures of him in the house, to missing a cue during his acclaimed theatrical debut as Othello because he was listening to hip hop, Cradle to Rave sets Henry’s family, first loves and fame against a musical backdrop – a comic cabaret voyage through his life told via its eclectic soundtrack.

Music has always been a huge part of Henry’s life and is his first love. It was impersonating Elvis Presley that first catapulted him into the entertainment industry in 1975. After being coerced by friends at the age of 16 to get up and perform, an ‘open spot’ at The Queen Mary Ballroom in Dudley, Henry found himself doing the only thing he felt comfortable doing – singing Jail House Rock complete with all the moves.

While Henry’s enviable career spans television to stand up to Shakespeare and serious theatre, it has never stretched to music. Despite scoring a gig singing backing vocals on a Kate Bush track, this did not lead to greater things. He only started learning the piano at 40 alongside his daughter, and a meeting with legendary record producer Trevor Horn in the 80s dashed his dreams of musical success. “I love music,” says Henry, “but it only likes me.” Cradle to Rave peers behind the curtain of Henry’s successes to examine his life and his thwarted musical ambitions, with plenty of laughs and lots of funky tunes along the way.

Directed by the critically acclaimed UK theatre director Sam Buntrock, Cradle to Rave is Henry's musical journey from fan boy to the greatest singer the UK never had.

The music and the magic that defined a generation. A tribute to the greatest band the world has ever known and the most timeless artist of the rock n’ roll era as they come together to create a music fantasy that is more fact than fiction.

Over two hours of unforgettable hits that shaped an era and left all who lived it on a high. If you remember the 60’s you weren’t there but when you join Australian music legend Marty Rhone and the remarkable Beatle Boys you will experience an evening you will never forget.
