Take a run in the shadows
A TOWN favourite is back when Running in the Shadows of Fleetwood Mac returns to The Reef Hotel Casino for three nights of nonstop singing and dancing to the biggest hits of Fleetwood Mac next weekend.
Australia’s leading Fleetwood Mac tribute show Running in the Shadows is back and people can’t seem to get enough of the six-piece band, so by public demand, they will be at BAR36 next weekend from May 30 to June 1.
Fans can expect all the hits from classic to modern Fleetwood Mac, plus some of Stevie Nicks solo work. The event is free to attend and kicks off from 9pm on Friday and Saturday and at 5.30pm on Sunday.
Vocalist and keyboard at Running in the Shadows Gary Stewart said it was always a memorable experience performing in Cairns.
“We’ve been coming regularly to Cairns for five years now and, every time we come, we’re received by one of the best audiences in Australia,” he said.
“They’re (Cairns fans) up for a good time, they get involved in all the singing along and dance, they’re very energetic and it makes for an event that’s full of energy.
“We’ve been performing this show for over 25 years and bringing the energy and enthusiasm of Fleetwood Mac in a live performance.
“We play all the hits from the Rumours album through to the Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham solo careers.
“People will get an enthusiastic live show that goes over two hours. We get the crowd involved, there’s singalongs and, overall, the band is very entertaining and we have world class musicians playing, so it’s just an incredible experience for the audience.
“Some of the best songs we play and the ones that get more crowd appreciation are songs like ‘Don’t Stop’, ‘Go Your Own Way’, ‘Rhiannon’, ‘Everywhere’ and pretty much every song by Fleetwood Mac is a hit so everyone will know the songs.”
Mr Stewart said this was a fun chance to see the band over a whole weekend and experience a fun, high-energy show.
“We play over three nights and every night brings something different and brings a different energy,” he said.
“It’s a free event, so why wouldn’t you come and it’s in one of the best venues that we play in Australia and the crowds just keep turning up.”
