Sorrows Drop in for One Rare Gig

CHART-TOPPING Melbourne group THE BLACK SORROWS will drop in to the Star Hotel on Sunday to perform a rare show on the way back from the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Formed in the early 1980s and fronted by the irrepressible JOE CAMILLERI, the Black Sorrows have released 12 albums in 15 years.

With JO JO ZEP & THE FALCONS, Camilleri achieved chart success with the songs SO YOUNG, HIT & RUN and SHAPE I'M IN. In 1990, The Black Sorrows won an ARIA for best band.

The group has sold more than one million albums worldwide, thanks to songs such as CHAINED TO THE WHEEL, HOLD ON TO ME, NEVER LET ME GO and HARLEY & ROSE. Songs penned by Camilleri have been covered by artists including ELVIS COSTELLO and JOHN DENVER. TE
