Before Too Long – Paul Kelly Tribute


This year marks Paul Kelly’s 30th anniversary as a solo recording artist. Kelly has crafted a heartfelt catalogue of songs that speak to successive generations. His strength as a songwriter and storyteller has inspired a whole raft of musicians working today. So as the centrepiece of our AusMusic Month celebrations this year, we’ll be putting on a tribute to Paul Kelly – one of our songwriting greats.

Over two nights at The Forum Theatre (Fri 13th and Sat 14th Nov) in Melbourne, we have invited some of the best Australian artists to interpret Paul Kelly’s songs. The line up will star Missy Higgins, John Butler, Paul Dempsey, Katy Steele, Bob Evans, Ozi Batla, Dan Kelly, Clare Bowditch, Jae Laffer, Adalita, Dan Sultan, Megan Washington plus members of Augie March as the backing band and Ashley Naylor from Even as Musical Director.

This is not a free event. Due to licensing requirements this event is also +18 only. Tickets will be available from Wednesday 14th October. Stay tuned for more details.

When: Fri 13th and Sat 14th November 2009
Where: The Forum Theatre, Melbourne
