"Hi Jane, Thank-you for your personal acknowledgement to me on the 5th.April'08. It's been a journey full of obstacles since your Friend Request in Sept.'07 when I "met" you & Michael, but this is life & no matter what, obstacles will always keep on getting in our way. It is up to us to know how to overcome them. I hope that the next Tour will be a better experience for you with less obstacles. I wish you good health, too. Take care, Cheers, Liz"

"Michael Charles and His Band and the staff at Moonlight Label would like to thank Liz for her gallant efforts for Michael Charles Full Circle Tour. Liz’s support, backing, partnership, time, endeavors, and just plain blood, sweat, and tears will never be forgotten. This is a woman (and fellow muso) who just liked Michael’s music, never met him, but from across the ocean stepped up and took on full responsibility by offering to help with the tour. We will just take our place in line of the many musicians she has helped! Thank you Liz, we pray for your good health! Keep on Rocking!! Michael Charles and His Band All the staff at Moonlight Label Jane, Chrissie, Laura Jacklyn"

"About PHIL PARA
Phil Para is an outstanding guitarist/ singer/ songwriter and undoubtedly one of the most exciting performers in Australia. Phil’s distinctive guitar talents push all the boundaries and are combined with exceptional vocal abilities and a powerful stage presence. His energetic performance includes a remarkable degree of showmanship such as playing with his teeth and behind his head. Phil earns great respect from his peers and audiences alike and attracts a cult-like following wherever he plays. New Zealander, Phil Para was already a professional musician at age 9 playing drums in his parent’s band and at 12 he began to teach himself guitar. Proving to be a natural and with Jimi Hendrix as his absent mentor and inspiration Phil’s talent soon grew to the point where he could accurately replicate the playing and vocal styles of the guitar greats including Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, & Carlos Santana to name a few. Phil writes many original songs, which draw from a diverse range of music with blues, jazz, Latin and rock influences fusing into a style of his own. Phil’s performances combine original music with covers to create an exciting stage show that never fails to enthral. Based in Australia for many years now, Phil claims vast and loyal audiences of an incredibly varied mix of ages and backgrounds that have allowed him to work at least three residencies a week plus many other shows as well. Phil released his first CD “MESSAGE” in 2000 and has another currently in production. Renowned both locally and internationally many artists including Prince, Eric Burdon, Deep Purple & Metallica have all made a point catching Phil’s gigs when they have been in Melbourne."

"I'll be gone"(someday I'll have money) was No.1 in 1971 & Spectrum led by Mike Rudd and Bill Putt are still going strong!

*Friday 11 Apr
Chris Wilson & Band
CHRIS WILSON
has been an essential part of blues and rock music in Australia since taking the stage with the Sole Twisters twenty years ago. Stints with Harum Scarum and Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls followed, and the end of the 80s saw Wilson as one of our finest vocalists, harmonica players and songwriters, fronting the superb Crown of Thorns. Don't miss Chris's return to The New Capers.

*Saturday 12 Apr
John Swan 'Swanee'
Swanee makes his first appearance at The New Capers.. That voice and prescence is still as strong as ever! Swanee's classic hits include "If I was a Carpenter", "Lady What's Your Name?" and "Temporary Heartache".

*Friday 18 Apr
Bobby Flynn &
The Omega 3

"Travelling with him is like going on a voyage and not knowing where it will end up" Mark Mordue, The Sydney Morning Herald. He's a pop explorer, a sonic adventurer, mining emotion, confounding critics, and delivering a thrilling collection of genre-busting songs. He's not a pop commodity and that's a very rare and precious thing nowadays. He's an artist. "It's his voice, which brings to mind the otherworldly tenderness of Nick Drake and baritone flashes of early 70s David Bowie," wrote Mark Mordue in The Sydney Morning Herald. "The idealism, almost, of another time we may have felt we lost."

*Saturday 19 Apr
Joe Camilleri &
The Black Sorrows

The ever-popular Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows return to The New Capers! Hits like "Harley & Rose", "Chained to the Wheel" and "Hold onto Me" have stood the test of time and just seem to sound better and better. Sit back and let this rockin' band blow you away!

*Friday 25 Apr
Glenn Shorrock
From The Twilights, to Axiom, to Little River Band, to Birtles, Shorrock and Goble, Glenn Shorrock has had endless hits and been one of the few Australian talents to experience true success in North America.

*Saturday 26 Apr
Harry Manx
Harry Manx
has been called 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. He has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to.

*Friday 2 May
Doug Parkinson
Doug Parkinson
is one of Australia's true music legends. His early prominence came with The Questions and Doug Parkinson in Focus. His many hits include "Dear Prudence", "Without You", "The Hungry Years", "I'll be Around" and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" with Broderick Smith. His extensive stage career includes lead roles in major productions such as Tommy, Jesus Christ Superstar, Big River, Grease - The Arena Spectacular and Wizard of Oz.

**I TURNED 50 in March'07 & I'M A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR of 3 yrs. I LOST MUM in May'07, MY HUSBAND in 2001 & MY DAD in 2000, ALL 3 THROUGH CANCER. It's been a long, rough journey, but the MUSIC KEPT ME ALIVE, INSPIRED BY THE MANY TALENTED, AWESOME FELLOW MUSICIANS & FRIENDS TO FIGHT, TO BE POSITIVE & MOTIVATED ME TO GET ON WITH MY MUSIC. I got my Second Chance in Life for a reason & This must be my chance to Finally get on with my Music & ACHIEVE MY DREAM. I hope I can Inspire people to be POSITIVE & through my sad experiences can help them also, to cope with their own sad ones. I'm a Sook & would not have been able to do it on my own. I believe that everything is possible & dreams can come true, but it depends on us, how far we want to go & what we are prepared to do to achieve. WE CAN'T ESCAPE DEATH, BUT WE CAN MAKE THE MOST OF BEING ALIVE. I TRY TO LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT'S GOING TO BE MY LAST. I grew up in the Music World from the age of 9 & had many long breaks in between, but I never stopped writing & MUSIC IS MY LIFE...all I need is my Voice again & I'm nearly there...I'm very patient. THANK-YOU! KEEP ON ROCKIN, KEEP ON KEEPING THE MUSIC ALIVE!
