City Recital Hall

Phenomenal !! Get yourselves to a Red Hot Summer event near you !!

Great show and was all ages so we could take our 8 year old daughter who absolutely loved it! James even mentioned her in his interview with the news !

Every song was perfect. The gig was intimate and beautiful, exactly as I hoped it would be. I’m a fan forever. Can’t wait til they come back again. I took a friend along who did not know their music and she loved it too. It was so nice to see them perform live.

It was a great show - tickets were well priced- balconies were a little far from the stage unfortunately. Sound was okay. Sad that there was a bit of a blep with one of my favourites as she forgot the words. But overall a really lovely chill show with an act I have wanted to see in Australia since her first album. Please come back soon!!!!!!

From what I saw, from 10 to 12:30 it was awesome, unfortunately I was on the harbour all day and at 64 I didn't have the stammer to last till 3, wish they recorded it so I could hear what I missed out on. Cheers, Tim

This was a beautiful experience! The support from Kristen Berardi and Sam Anning created an intimacy from the first song ‘Lawns’ . I was impressed by the vocals and double bass duo, which to me seemed both brave and awesome . I have downloaded their music already. Samara Joy apologetically shared with the audience at the start of the set that she had a cold. I’m perplexed by this and I felt by the end of the first song that if she had a cold she don’t ever need Lemsip. Her vocals were warm, soared and to me seemed flawless . Along with her band there was a perfect jazz synchronicity which swept me away to my happy place. It was my first time at the beautiful City Recital Hall and as I left all I could think was wow! No encore required as it was wow. Thank you SIMA. Outstanding.

I really enjoyed seeing Soccer Mommy live in concert I really love all her songs I really hope she’ll come back to Australia again one day it was awesome and when she comes back I would really love to do a meet and greet with her and her band i love her so much

Great band, great venue. So good to see the entire room on their feet dancing all night.

The Cruel Sea were amazing, Tex is a legend , it is just great watching seasoned professionals at work holding back the years.

Amazing concert, well worth paying for VIP tickets awesome guy who takes the time to say hi and get a good photo with. Amazing band to with such a talented guitarist

Great experience - especially the VIP/soundcheck/meet and greet/Q&A beforehand. So great to see one of Australia's very best guitarists and vocalists.

I was in Jazz and Bass Heaven! Seeing him live was a dream come true. The room acoustic was superb. Bit of issue with the Sire but otherwise a best experience at this venue.

Great show. I love the way you can strip back the music to just a piano and only two singers, who also advised, how come the songs were written. Thoroughly enjoyed the venue and the banter on the stage, just a shame it was not longer.

What a beautiful, yet bittersweet night. The first set was spellbinding. Between the incredible visuals and the improvisation of CB’s latest record, “End of the Day” and the second completely solo set with just Courtney, her voice and her Kurt Cobain signature edition Fender Jaguar really showed us who were lucky enough to bear witness to these special handful of shows the true craftswomanship Courtney conjures up whenever she writes those songs that have become so engrained in us over the past decade or so. I have been lucky enough to watch her grow from the “girl guitarist” in The Immigrant Union to the artist she’s become that’s beloved all around the world. As she left the stage for the last time, one couldn’t help but get a tightness in the throat because those in the know, knew that this was her last true home based show. Milk! Records has closed. And Courtney has now moved to the USA(nus) - f**k knows why? I hope she realises that the grass is most definitely not greener - especially over there. The sadness grew heavier in the air as the last song was coming to its finale not only for us lovers of Courtney, but with Courtney herself. She went from doing truncated versions of her work to dragging them out towards the close of the set with Courtney not only telling us how much she loved us all, as much as she could, but also prolonging the songs whilst taking in her final home audience and staring at the ceiling as she strummed out the final chords of “Oh The Night” before finishing, giving us all a wave and disappearing into the black. Oh the night indeed. 🖤💔💙

Great venue and great concert. Aldous Harding is unique in her stage presence and her voice is exquisite. She has a way of drawing the audience in, without much verbal communication. Those fortunate enough to see her were taken on a beautiful journey with her show. As far as the venue is concerned, there was plenty of good food around close by. Most dinner venues required booking, but some also were walk in. We ate at The George, which was a busy but quick service pub around the corner. Would I see Aldous Harding again -yes Would I go to the City Recital Hall again - yes Would I eat at The George again - yes

A very unusual event and so interesting. Mick Harvey (who penned the original score) and Springtime reworking the music to Chopper as the movie plays. With artists of this calibre, it was bound to be a sublime experience. Seeing the film again on a big screen with the great Eric Bana playing Chopper was intense. Add to that, the new score with the muso's performing live was a fascinating and unique experience. Wish it was recorded being my only complaint.

Awesome with the back drop of Sydney harbour and the vivid festival made it even more special!

First gig I’ve gotten out to in a while, CMA sublime, great setlist and perfect venue for her

Sarah was Devine. First show out of the first lockdown and made for a wonderful evening. Truly one of Australia's treasures. Thank you Sarah ❤
