APIA Good Times

The next Russell Morris album ‘Black and Blue Heart’ will be a Rock record.

When two Australian music legends Brian Cadd and Russell took the one stage for the “hometown” gig they delivered over a dozen classics spanning more than 50 years.

The Apia Good Times tour has grown with seven acts who have generated dozens of hits celebrating seven years of the event.

Hey kiddies, once upon a time people became stars because of raw talent. The APIA Good Times is an annual reminder that talent once overruled celebrity. 2018’s slap in the face with the credibility stick featured legends Russell Morris, Brian Cadd, Leo Sayer, John Paul Young and Marcia Hines.

You know that old saying “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore”, well with artists like the Black Sorrows, Mental As Anything, Deborah Conway and Colin Hay, they really don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

There was something special watching Daryl Braithwaite perform his no 1 hit ‘The Horses’ 25 years after it reached the top of the Australian chart. Then again, the APIA Good Times tour delivers lots of special moments.

The APIA Good Times show is a lot of fun. It has to be, just look at the line-up. Brian Cadd, Joe Camilleri, Glenn Shorrock and Kate Ceberano have half a century of hits to play.
