4:48PM Jess McGuire | I thought you lot might find Patrick Donovan’s article in The Age about the Sound Relief concerts’ conception interesting, especially if you need something to occupy your time while you wait for the world’s most amazing collaboration ever to happen.
Gudinski’s phone hasn’t stopped ringing since he announced details of the concerts that will be held simultaneously at the MCG and SCG tomorrow on Channel 9’s Australia Unites telethon last month.
The first person Gudinski spoke to was his former Frontier Touring partner and sometime rival Michael Chugg, who was already planning a concert with ARIA Awards organiser Mark Pope. They decided to run the concerts simultaneously under the one banner in two cities.

3:09PM Jess McGuire | From Christie’s Music News regarding this weekend’s Sound Relief concert at the MCG:
One of the worst kept secrets was that Kylie Minogue was to be added to the bill, as guest MC. Rumours are flying about as to who else will be on the bill. Barry Gibb is rumoured, while Coldplay were reportedly trying to heave John Farnham out of hibernation to do “You’re The Voice” with them. Chris Martin loves the song, apparently, and they played a few bits of it at one of their Melbourne shows.
COLDPLAY + JOHN FARNHAM = TOGETHER AT LAST.
Please, someone make this happen. More »
