Annette and Mike See André Rieu In Sydney

André Playing Waltzing Matilda!

The audience started to arrive from 5am. People had come there from Darwin, Perth, Melbourne, Queensland & New Zealand.

The promoter told me the audience was estimated at 5,000. The area we were in held 200. You can imagine the overflow, balconies alone had 500. Security was very tight as it should have been.

André arrived at 12 noon, played My Way and Waltzing Matilda twice ~ with everybody singing. (André played from a piece of paper being held for him)
He told us that he would be having concerts in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in November and December 2008 with dates to be confirmed in a few weeks. He signed CD & DVD covers until 1.20pm and was driven away at 1.40pm.

Sydney certainly warmly embraced André.
Warmest greetings ~ Annette & Mike
