Tommy Emmanuel To Return For Dates In Australia

Tommy Emmanuel, the Australian guitar player Eric Clapton says is “the best I’ve ever seen”, will return home for shows in Australia in August.

The Grammy nominated Emmanuel will play in theatres for Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne from August 9.

Tommy has been a professional musician since he was 6 years old. “When people watch me play, I hope that they feel that they’re watching someone who’s doing when they’re meant to do. It’s like a calling, and I’ve always known that when I played, something good happened to people who have heard it. I can’t wait to get back home and play for old friends and new fans,” said Tommy.

Tommy has discussed his life in a TEDx talk. Tommy explains his job as being in “the happiness business”. “I play music and you get happy,” he said.

Tommy Emmanuel dates

I wasn’t quite prepared for the “strap in and enjoy the ride’ experience of Kraftwerk. I hadn’t seen them live since the Big Day Out of 2003. It was still light when they came in, in the tent (not the outdoor stage) and they were wearing suits. Someone at the time commented that it was like watching four businessmen in the Qantas Club sending emails to each other.
