That is what audience members can expect tomorrow night when she returns to Tamworth with this, her celebration show, of the great music from the famous songbird herself, Christie McVie of Fleetwood Mac.
You may remember Catherine for her side-splitting portrayal as Bette Midler when she appeared at Capitol Theatre in 2015. Since then, she has entertained thousands across the country in her smash hit stage show The Divine Miss Bette.
Catherine presented Go Your Own Way at the Capitol earlier this year during Festival 2017 and audiences were left raving about the show.
Go Your Own Way is a celebration of great music and the tempestuous life of the Mac’s most famous songwriter. Christine McVie was the girl who started out as a school teacher, picked up a bass guitar and began to sing the blues. Then she joined Fleetwood Mac and made rock history.
Always an intriguing figure, Christine’s contrary attitude to global fame, ridiculous wealth, love and loss, personal privacy, songwriting and music is at the heart of her story.
In a career that has so far spanned four decades, the enigmatic Christine McVie is brought to life in 80 music-packed minutes by Catherine Alcorn who brings her own magic to some of the most memorable songs of the 20th century.
You can catch Catherine at Capitol Theatre Tamworth on Friday, September 22 at 8pm.
This show may contain course language, and is recommended for 15 years plus.
If you’re looking for music of a different kind, then you can’t miss the Hot Potato Band at Capitol Theatre on September 21 at 7.30pm.
The Hot Potato Band found their roots and musical inspiration in Sydney’s southern suburbs as street performers running over 120 shows a year all around Australia.
The band’s unique sound comes from the absence of a single drum kit, bass guitar and electrified instruments.
Three drummers create synchronised grooves on what would be a deconstructed drum kit. The bass lines are covered by an enormous, lung-busting sousaphone. Two baritone saxophones mimic the part of a rhythm guitar and the band’s huge array of horns cover catchy chorus lines and provide a beautiful harmonic cloud for Dylan (the vocalist) to float above.
There are still tickets available for these shows. To book your seats visit entertainmentvenues.com.au, call 6766 2028, or visit the box office at Capitol Theatre and The Big Golden Guitar.
