Raucous Aussie Rock will lift the roof from Wyong Art House on February 11 when The Rock Show brings its two-and-a-half hour show to the stage.
The Rock Show Oz Edition is the last in a long line of rock shows that the show’s co-producer, Coralea Cameron, put together with her long-term partner, the late icon Jon English.
Featuring Steve Mulry from the Ted Mulry Gang, along with band members from Jon’s last rock show, Trilogy
of Rock, Cameron said The Rock Show Oz Edition celebrates “an outstanding repertoire of classic Aussie
Rock from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.”
Expect to hear tracks from Masters Apprentices, Billy Thorpe, Bee Gees, LRB, Skyhooks, Aussie Crawl, INXS, Angels, JPY, Cold Chisel, Air Supply, Divinyls, Russell Morris, Noiseworks, TMG, Stevie Wright, AC/DC, Peter Allen, Choirboys, Black
Sorrows, Oils, and of course, Jon English.
“Sadly, Jon never got to actually perform this show.
“We had to cancel the upcoming tour when he passed away.
“It took me a long while to pick up the pieces but I was determined to see it through in Jon’s honour, and I couldn’t
be happier with how fantastically it’s been received since we started touring last year,” said Cameron.
Steve, the brother of Ted Mulry from hit 70s band the Ted Mulry Gang, who now fronts the reformed original band in his brother’s place, said he was humbled when asked if he’d help carry on the show in Jon’s memory.
Mulry said, “Having lost my own brother, I of course understood how Coralea and the band members felt
about wanting to honour Jon.
“I was a big fan of Jon myself and I remember how he was one of the first to come to the party when my brother Ted became ill so I of course said yes straight away.”
