One of the world's finest singer-songwriters, folk-rock legend
Paul Kelly takes audiences on an intimate journey as he performs
100 of his best-known, much-loved songs over four nights - in
alphabetical order. Creating enraptured excitement across
Australia, these solo-acoustic performances, and their unique
presentation, showcase Kelly's original, undressed sounds.
Delivered with characteristic intensity and depth, Kelly's epic
retrospective is punctuated by stories about his life, family and
the inspiration behind his songs. Favourites include Before Too
Long, From Little Things Big Things Grow and To
Her Door. His characters with their voices of heat, hurt and
humour - angels, beggars, cheaters, drunks, ecstatics, fighters,
gentlemen and heroines - will stalk your soul and dance on your
heart.
With a song writing history spanning three decades, Kelly has a
swag-full of songs to draw from and a huge load of memories to
share. Anecdotes, shared between songs, were the genesis for
How to Make Gravy, Kelly's recently published memoir,
which weaves his songs and personal history into the story of his
life as an artist.
Take a legendary journey and pay tribute to a legendary man - your
favourite Paul Kelly songs, unplugged over four, unforgettable
nights.

"...seeing and hearing Kelly's musical life flash before
your ears is a film festival in itself. Further screenings come
highly recommended."

"There is something unique and powerful about the way Kelly
mixes up everyday detail with the big issues of life, death, love
and struggle - not a trace of pretence or fakery in
there."
