The Black Sorrows in concert Copping Community Hall-2 October 2016. Cancelled by The Black Sorrows in August, after the concert had sold out. More money in Melbourne AFL Grand final weekend. Greed over ethics & professionalism!



“The Black Sorrows have earned the reputation as a dynamic live band, delivering original songs that mix those well-worn ingredients of blues, soul, and r’n’b, as well as flashes of gospel, country and even Brill Building pop, into an irresistibly potent concoction. For three decades The Black Sorrows have rocked the stages from coast to coast in Australia and overseas. With music legend and Hall of Fame inductee Joe Camilleri at the helm,  the band continue to be one of Australia’s most successful touring bands and a festival favourite, proving that good music and musicianship is timeless. The Black Sorrows are – Joe Camilleri (vocals, guitar, sax, harp), John McAll (keyboards, vocals), Mark Gray (bass, vocals) Claude Carranza (guitar, vocals), Angus Burchall (drums)”

Some Comments - The Black Sorrows Copping Hall - 14 December 2014



                           


"another great concert, always the best. Reminds me of lyrics from a Guy Clark song - it's the second best $100 I ever spent".

"great effort on your behalf. You need to be congratulated on putting together such an excellent afternoon. Look forward to attending more concerts".

"the concert was a blast! a different, rockier event from previous concerts. The sound level was loud, but I really enjoyed that. Also enjoyed, and so did most others I reckon, the seated venue with dancing this time. Just a fantastic treat. Thanks so much".

'what a fantastic concert. It was our first concert at the Copping Hall and it definitely won't be our last. Such an awesome venue and set up. We loved the laid back style with table settings and the ability to bring your own drinks and nibbles. The band was great and with a new album they were really rockin'. Overall an absolutely enjoyable event and thank you for organising it".

"hey mate, you pulled it off again, another great (possibly the greatest) show, well done and thanks".

"thoroughly enjoyed the show, always thought Joe is a star, mines the great blues, soul, r&b tradition...the gold mine for me".

"thanks for organising such a great gig. What a bunch of pros".

"congratulations on another successful event. Don't think it could have been any better. What a great afternoon's entertainment with one of my heroes of the Australian music scene, Joe Camilleri. Very impressed with the sound and the intimacy of the venue enhances the experience so much. Thank you for your contribution to the Arts in this community. Well done and looking forward to your next instalment".

"I really enjoyed the day. It was a lot looser and stripped back from previous Black Sorrows concerts I have seen, but I think it suited the venue and the 'man' - really good vibe concert - well done".

"I loved the concert, sat with great people and even danced. I'm looking forward to the next concert".

"thanks again Bob, that was fantastic. We really are lucky to be able to sit in such a relaxed atmosphere with so many old friends and enjoy such treats as we saw yesterday".

"did we ever love the show....and also appreciated how The Black Sorrows seemed to really enjoy it. I can't imagine anyone not thinking it was outstanding value".

"a splendid fun afternoon. A thoroughly enjoyable event of which there MUST be more! Long live live music".

"thanks for another wonderful concert. I hope Nic and Joe are both happy and you got some dollars to stick to your fingers".

"I LOVED THE SORROWS. I'd not seen them before, Joe and the band were superb. Volume was good, temperature not too stuffy and plenty of room to dance. Thanks again for tickets, great show".

"loved it, had great fun. Only thing would be dancing space but that of course depends on the artist/s as some are definitely sit down concerts.... Keep up the good work, appreciate it immensely".

"thanks again for setting this up for the community. It's so rare to experience such musicians in a small intimate country hall. May the force be with you and i look forward to your next inspired choice. It was a tad loud and it was a pity that such fine musicians limited themselves to offering somewhat pedestrian electric rock. I'm sure they captured most people's appreciation but I would have preferred more of an acoustic complexity. But again, thank you, a great afternoon".

"thanks for the concert, it was great, enjoyed every moment of it. Don't wait as long to do the next one!!!"

"THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU. Another fabulously well organised and WELL run event! Great space and tables, signage etc and well set out. I and others love the candles no matter the time of day, it always makes for a lovely atmospheric venue. Concert thoroughly enjoyed by all our gang. Our guests loved being able to bring their own drinks and nibbles and adds to the party type atmosphere. Some were pleasantly surprised at actually how GREAT it was/always is in little old Copping Hall. Of course we could have done with more dance space but how to do that I am not sure unless you push tables back a little but then those who don't want to dance get compromised? Band was great and Mr Camilleri warm, friendly and certainly gave more than 150% in terms of his performance".

"they were fantastic!!! They were a great band, all of them so talented and so generous with their time. You did good mate, as usual!!"

"thanks so much for the concert and your efforts to organise! Not being a fan of the band before I was quite green... the band were great and the performance tops. Table seating was perfect. Dance space at the front was great...just enough to interact with the musicians. Your expertise and passion really are such a bonus to our community..."

"thank you so much Bob, best live music we have attended since Joe Cocker in Townsville many years ago. I loved how we could see Joe and his guitarist really 'feel' the music. You would not see this in a large venue. Copping Hall rocked. I hope you find the energy to arrange another gig next year. thank you for your efforts".

"they weren't excellent, they were f.....g excellent!!"

About The Black Sorrows + video clips


Joe Camilleri - A Life in Music



The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia's most successful touring bands and 2014 was a very busy year. After 2 powerful performances at Bluesfest in Byron over Easter, the band flew to Norway to play at the legendary Rockerfeller Music Hall in Oslo and then by special invitation at the Nidaros Blues Festival in Trondheim. Scandinavia embraced Joe and The Black Sorrows in the late eighties/early nineties, where their albums, Hold On To Me and Harley & Rose were Top Ten hits.

Any examination of The Black Sorrows inevitably comes down to one person. Joe Camilleri (singer, songwriter, saxophonist, producer and the brains behind The Black Sorrows) is one of the most genuinely talented figures in Australian music. This year with 45 albums under his belt, Joe will celebrate 50 years in the music business and is showing no signs of slowing down. In the award-winning documentary of his life in music, Joe Camilleri: Australia's Maltese Falcon, Jane Clifton described Joe as "indefatigable." It is his seemingly tireless drive to continually perform and record quality music that has rewarded him legendary status and well-deserved longevity in the music industry.

The Black Sorrows in concert at the Copping Community Hall.....SOLD OUT!!


“Joe never fails to deliver, and produces one of the most powerful shows in the country. Joe’s passion for music and his genuine love of his fans make him the best in the business. Up and coming artists wanting longevity should take a leaf out of Joe’s book.”

“Camilleri is an Aussie rock legend and one of this nation’s finest performers, the epitome of a hardworking entertainer who knows how to connect with his audience.”

“Camilleri is joined on stage by such a wealth of talent….everything comes together in what makes a complete experience and it appears the crowd feels the same. There’s less of the polite applause and more of the real appreciation, more open-mouthed wonder.”

Some Comments - Harry Manx - Copping Community Hall - 25 May 2012

As the punters tell me, there are only so many times and ways they can say they really like the shows, format,etc. at the Copping Community Hall. Here's the few I received for this concert.
Scroll down to other posts as there are many more comments than this for every Copping concert.

"Copping Community Hall is the 'best venue in OZ'."

"thanks for the great concerts - we really enjoyed Harry and it's amazing to see such a quality act in such an intimate venue!"

"exceptional concert with Harry Manx on Friday night. Even tho we were up the back of the hall the sound quality was mind blowing. I was transported by Harry and his music to a very pleasant place that night."

"great concert....we are spoilt with your efforts."

"the Copping show was fantastic. Intimate, warm and funny with great audience-artist interaction. We had amazing sound quality in the back of the hall showing your commitment to a top quality sound system. All of us left thinking we were mighty privileged to have seen a global act up-close and just for us. Look forward to more shows at the Copping Hall."

"even with the weather, it was a fine evening. This humble man has lots of class."

"we both enjoyed the show immensely. We have been to at least 4 shows now and they have all been excellent, good artists, good venue and good organisation. You have to be congratulated for putting it all together."

"full points to you Bob! We had a great night. Very much looking forward to your next event."

"overall an extremely enjoyable night as all the other Copping concerts have been."

'thank you for a great night! I thought Harry was in fine form and I enjoyed Yeshe. Thank you once again for organising a great night."

About Harry Manx + video clips

 Harry Manx has been dubbed an “essential link” between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. His unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to.

 Born on the Isle of Man, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe, Japan, India and Brazil. He honed his hypnotic live show on street corners, in cafes, bars and at festivals. But it was Indian music that captured his attention and in the mid 80s he began five-year tutelage with Rajasthani Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for A Meeting by the River). Receiving the gift of Bhatt’s custom-made, self-designed Mohan Veena (a 20-stringed sitar/guitar hybrid) was the catalyst for Harry to forge a new path with his now signature east-meets-west style of music. While the mohan veena itself is beyond exotic, Manx uses it within traditional Western sound structures.

 A successful touring performer, Manx has brought his “breathtaking” solo shows across Canada and into the USA, Australia, and Europe. He has appeared at many prestigious festivals, world-class theatres, concert halls and infamous Blues clubs around the globe. Playing the Mohan Veena, lap steel, harmonica, stomp box, and banjo, Manx quickly envelops the audience into what has been dubbed “the Harry Zone” with his warm vocals and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of his original songs.

 Over the last 10 years, Harry Manx released 11 albums and has garnered a room full of awards including seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nominations, the Canadian Folk Award in 2005 for Best Solo Artist and won CBC Radio’s Great Canadian Blues Award in 2007.

 Blend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique “mysticssippi” flavour. It’s hard to resist, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.
