Caught up with GC today for a coffee and I noticed he’s finalising the set lists for his upcoming shows in Victoria (Caravan Music Club Melbourne, The Capital Bendigo, Burke & Wills Winery Heathcote) and Tamworth Town Hall. Is there anything you want included? 🎶 I'm sure we could sneak a few extras in! 😉 Cheers, Mel ... See MoreSee Less
I thought spring/summer days were supposed to be longer - but it feels like the days, weeks and months are getting shorter!
And looking at the calendar today I see we are already 6 days into November. 📅 Before we know it, it will be Christmas, then New Years and then, that familiar drive down the New England Highway to Tamworth.
3.00pm, Friday afternoon at Tamworth Town Hall, every January prior to the Golden Guitar Awards, is always a special and significant time for me. ✨ My Tamworth show really sets the tone for the year ahead - both personally and professionally. And this years concert, aptly named '2020 Hindsight' is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the passage of time and a reflection on decisions made.
What does 2020 Hindsight mean to you? Lets explore this one together. Tickets on sale now via entertainmentvenues.com.au/graeme-connors.
See you at the Town Hall!

Well, it's three weeks and two days now since I broke my ankle in Malta (not that I’m counting 😟) and one week and one day since corrective surgery in Australia. Repairs are done... I’m on the mend! 👏🏻
Thankyou to everyone who sent commiserations, get well soon’s, sage advice and humorous comment - you helped make an unfortunate situation that little bit brighter! ☀️
Of course...'the show must go on!'. So here I am at the piano preparing for the Victorian leg (no pun intended) of the 'from the backcountry' tour. I'll be performing at the Melbourne Caravan Music Club Friday November 22, The Capital Bendigo Saturday November 23 and Burke & Wills Winery Sunday November 24.
Really looking forward to putting the band together and performing songs off the new album plus all of the favourites! If you haven't got your tickets yet click here 👉🏻 www.graemeconnors.com
See you there! 😊

Our family has always made a point of turning tragedy into comedy as fast as we can - so I really shouldn’t have been surprised by our son Adrian's post from Malta.
Yep that’s me in the wheelchair!
In Malta for a brief break after our incredible Irish Music Safari and... wet feet in thongs plus sandstone steps equals fall and serious fractured left leg below the knee!
Surgery next week which will mean ‘Please step to the side Sir - you appear to have a screw loose’ at every airport security point. 😟
Before I go does anyone have any tips on the use of crutches? This is my first time around and I just can’t seem to get the hang of it!

There have been so many high points so far on our Irish Music Safari that it would be pointless to shine a light on any particular experience… these photographs represent part of the diversity of our journey. 🇮🇪
The big discovery for me has been the recognition that, without any conscious effort on my behalf, I share so much in common with the Irish musical & lyrical style and tradition. Adding my unique Australian take of course... but sharing so many core elements! Maybe there is more in our genes than meets the eye…
