The Black Sorrows in Concert

Join Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows for a very special afternoon.

Joe Camilleri has been at the forefront of the Australian music scene for decades as leader of Jo Jo Ze & The Falcons and The Black Sorrows, and as a writer of radio anthems Hit & Run, Shape I’m In, Chained to the Wheel, Harley & Rose and Never Let Me Go. He is the consummate entertainer constantly honing his craft, an ARIA Hall of Famer and a rock n roll lifer. Joe fronts The Black Sorrows, one of Australia’s most prolific and enduringly popular bands, renowned for their high-energy shows, musicianship and infectious, roots-soaked blues rock. They’ve sold more than two million albums to date and won an ARIA Award for Best Group.

The joy of live music, the excitement of watching great performers playing off each other and feeding off the room, and the thrill of never knowing what is coming next but knowing it will be incredible is what The Black Sorrows are all about.

Season: Sunday 11 February at 4pm.
