NEW GEMS
AND ALL
THE HITS
CASSIDY PEARCE
After being postponed last year,
Emmy winning and multi Grammy
nominated artist Toni Childs has
announced her return to The Joan later this
month.
‘The Toni Childs Retrospective’ is a special
two-hour performance, which celebrates
both the old and the new when it comes to
her musical works. The show will see Childs
perform hits and fan favourites from ‘Union’,
‘House of Hope’, ‘The Woman’s Boat’ and
‘Keep the Faith’, before introducing songs
from her new albums, ‘It’s All a Beautiful
Noise’ and ‘Citizens of the Planet’.
The latter two albums will be part of a
very special sea change for Childs in the
next few years, being part of two unique 3D
Mapping animated shows – two hours of
music, animation and high tech audience
engagement.
Childs will also be offering a once in a lifetime
experience in the Exclusive VIP Meet
and Greet Package, which will see 15 lucky
audience members receive one concert
ticket in the first row, a digital copy of Toni
Childs ‘Greatest Hits’ two CD set plus a drink
backstage before the concert with Childs, at
a special ticket price of $175.
‘The Toni Childs Retrospective’ will be on
at The Joan in Penrith on Saturday, March
18 at 7.30pm. Tickets start at $68. For more

CASSIDY PEARCE
Formed in 1982, Pseudo Echo have
long been one of Australia’s most
iconic new wave bands. Now, after a
three-year hiatus, they’re returning to the
stage, bringing their epic national tour to
Blue Mountains Theatre.
Despite being best known for their cover
of ‘Funky Town’, Pseudo Echo pioneered
the ‘80s with their avant-garde look and
electro sound, introducing audiences to a
new sound in an era of pub rock and making
history as the first unrecorded band to
appear on ABC’s ‘Countdown’.
The Ultimate Tour will see some of their
greatest hits, such as classics from ‘Autumnal
Park’ and ‘Love An Adventure’, and feature
tracks from the controversial, yet much
loved stadium rock ‘Race’ album, performed
live on stage with a six-piece line-up, fronted
by founding member Brian Canham.
Some of these songs haven’t been
performed since their release, so for fans of
the band, this show is not to be missed!
If you enjoy your classic ‘80s music and
want to transport yourself back to the iconic
decade, then round up your friends and
book your tickets fast!
‘Pseudo Echo Ultimate Tour’ will be on
at Blue Mountains Theatre in Springwood
on Friday, March 24 at 8pm. Tickets are
$65. For more information or to book, visit
