Howie Day @ Annandale Hotel, Sydney and Northern Star, Newcastle - 16 and 17 May 2008

I’m here feeling a little sad and sorry for myself, after taking in three gigs in three days. I’m clearly not as young as I used to be. The first was Chris Murphy. The second two were Howie Day.

The last time I saw this affable singer songwriter he was singing head-to-head with the likes of Damien Leith, Dean Geyer, and Bobby Flynn. The stripped back setting of this Central Coast icon is a world away from the Australian Idol stage, and […]

It’s no secret that devout Christian Dean Geyer has been saving himself until marriage. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one thinking about what he’ll get up to on the night of his wedding to Veronicas’ hottie Lisa Origliasso!
