ABOUT SAMAPALOOZA

There have been thousands of parties on the land on which Samapalooza is now held. At the same time, Sam’s family and friends have also been using the land for over 20 years to camp, fish and do some partying as well.

Just as the 2010 Tour de France gets underway, Alice Woodbridge and Susanna Stranders, two self proclaimed ‘dotty divas’, will be taking on a cycling challenge of a different kind, attempting to raise £20,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society and Multiple Sclerosis Society by cycling 700 miles on an opera recital tour of the UK.

They launched their tour on Monday at Coutts’ head office on The Strand. Alice, an acclaimed young soprano was accompanied at the piano by Susanna and also sung a few pieces with Coutts CEO Michael Morley, an accomplished pianist.

Among other pieces, they performed Deh vieni non tardar (Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro), O mio babbino caro (Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi) and Spring Awakening (Sibelius).

Tommy Emmanuel Honoured

June 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment

After being voted Best Acoustic Guitarist in Guitar Player Magazine’s 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards for the second time earlier this month, Australian virtuoso guitarist Tommy Emmanuel has just been honoured in a different way. He has been made a Member of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in recognition of his accomplishments in music and his charity work, in particular as a patron of Kids Under Cover – an Australian agency that provides housing for homeless children.

Although Emmanuel spends most of his life on the road, he has never forgotten where his roots lie. “I’m proud to be an Australian,” he comments. “We know how to work, we know how to treat our fellow man, and we know how to celebrate the joy of living! Having said that… looks like we know how to brag as well!”
