Townsville ready for "A Knight under the Stars"

Townsville fans of Sir Elton John must have everything crossed as they pray for the rain to stay away on a one night only performance tonight by Sir Elton. The North Queensland Cowboys home ground, Dairy Farmers Stadium, has been transformed to accommodate over 20,000 fans in an intimate concert atmosphere. I will be shooting from the front row, but only for two songs and hopefully will have some nice pics in metropolitan newspapers tomorrow to show for it.

I shot this panorama yesterday as they were putting the finishing touches on the set.

INXS are back!

I was pretty chuffed to be commissioned by the Sydney Morning Herald to shoot the first INXS concert in Australia with JD Fortune up front. I must admit, I have never been a super fan of INXS but I thoroughly enjoyed the band and JD really rocked. Must say, I dragged out my wife's INXS discs the next day and they spent quite a while in the car!
