The Rock Show - Oz edition

Featuring Steve Murray (Ted Murray Gang) and the Jon English Band, the Rock Show, Oz edition, is returning to the Wyong Art House.

24 January 2024

 

AFTER a sold-out reduced capacity show in 2021 (due to COVID restrictions), the show’s producer, Coralea Cameron, is happy that this time everyone will be able to sing along!

 

The Rock Show Oz Edition was the last in a long line of rock shows that Cameron co‑produced with her long-term partner, the late Aussie rock icon JON ENGLISH.

 

“As Jon passed away before he actually got to perform this show himself", Coralea Cameron said, "we now do the show in his honour. Which I think he would be thrilled about.

 

"He always loved a full standing ovation - which we invariably get!"

 

Featuring Steve Mulry from the Ted Mulry Gang, along with band members from English’s last rock show, Trilogy of Rock, Cameron says The Rock Show Oz Edition celebrates “an outstanding repertoire of classic Aussie Rock from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.”

 

As in previous rock shows, the multi-talented band members all sing, harmonise, and swap an amazing array of instruments.

 

Steve, the brother of Ted Mulry from hit 70’s band the Ted Mulry Gang, who now fronts the reformed original band in his brother’s place, says he is humbled to carry on the show in English’s memory.

 

“I was a big fan of Jon myself, and I remember how he was one of the first to come to the party and help out when Ted became il," said Steve Mulray,

 

"I love every song we get to perform in this show, but I especially love that we are able to remember Jon and Ted.”

 

The Masters Apprentices, Billy Thorpe, Bee Gees, LRB, Skyhooks, Aussie Crawl, INXS, Angels, JPY, Cold Chisel, Air Supply, Divinyls, Renee Geyer, Russell Morris, Noiseworks, TMG, Stevie Wright, AC/DC, Peter Allen, Choirboys, Black Sorrows, Oils, Farnham, and of course, Jon English, are just some of the iconic Aussie bands covered in the two-and-a-half-hour show.

 

“All our previous rock shows, including The Rock Show, Rock Revolution, and Trilogy of Rock always sold out“, Coralea Cameron fondly recalls.

 

"I was so happy when the The Rock Show Oz Edition did too, and that people seemed to enjoy it just as much.”
