THE PAINTED LADIES, the greatest-ever travelling Koori country-rock'n'soul roadshow-cum Vic Simms tribute band, of which I am a cast-member, played Womadelaide on the weekend of March 6/7as part of a micro-Deep North/South Australian tour that also included a gig at the Tanks in Cairns on March 13.

At Womadelaide, we played two sets, both in choice slots, the first, to open the festival, on the Friday (March 6) at 6pm, and the second on the Saturday (March 7) at 7pm. What a weekend of music! On the Thursday night, after a quick Ladies' rehearsal, I went to see the almighty Pop Group at the Adelaide Festival; and on the Saturday afternoon back at Botanic Park, I watched the Ladies' fellow Brisbane-boy friend Robert Forster, followed by South African jazz genius Abdullah Ibrahim, before we played our prime-time set. I caught a bit of Bombino, and I have to say, us Ladies were pretty pleased with our performances and felt they stood up well alongside anything else at the festival.

The Team: Womadelaide Finalists, 2015!
Up in Cairns at the Tanks on Black Friday the 13th, or Ladies Night as we preferred to call it, we played a headline set over support spots by hometown heroes Kahl Wallace and Jindhu Lawrie of the Medics in acoustic mode, and Adrian Mauro, who last appeared at the Tanks at his high school formal, and the whole affray was a triumph of loose love. Hey Ladies!! Buy a copy of the album!
