This tour is underway and may have been mentioned here before but ...

RR
Safka had a string of hits in the `70s including Lay Down, Look What They Done To My Song Ma, Brand New Key, Ruby Tuesday, The Nickel Song and Ring The Living Bell.
In 1995 Max Sharam covered Lay Down and made the song a hit again in Australia.
Safka was last in Australia in 1977 when she played a record 12 shows in Melbourne at Dallas Brooks Hall.
"Since we started talking about coming back `Down Under' I've been looking at a photo of my two daughters and me with a koala that was taken last time we were there," she said in a statement.
"I remember clearly how beautiful the country was and how warm and welcoming you Aussies are. My son, and guitarist, Beau Jarred, was not born yet but he'll be with me this time and, hopefully, we'll get the opportunity of meeting another koala."

For some reason I have the late Casey Kasem introducing I've gotta brand new roller-skates, You've gotta brand new key, embedded in my head.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvIjQSFLb3U
Heading out for the East Coast / Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through, / Tangled up in blues.

Her show at the Clarendon in Katoomba on Wednesday was fantastic. I'd love to see her grace the stage at Bluesfest.
