What can I say :smoke:

 

MUCH better than this years.

 

I nearly didn't buy this years calendar for the first time in 17 years - I don't like the photos. He'd just had botox and was hairless. <_< Plus every single photo was taken on the same day.

 

I like lots of the photos on the 2018 calendar. Some of them I can see are a bit over photo shopped but nonetheless gorgeous. ^_^

Robbie Williams proud of his Kilkenny Roots

Robbie Williams has always been very proud of his Irish heritage and in particular his “Kilkenny born” grandfather, Jack Farrell.

 

Exhaustive research has revealed that it was Robbie's great-great grandfather that was Irish and that his maternal grand-dad, Big Jack Farrell was actually born in Stoke-On-Trent but considered himself a Cat and often sang, The Rose of Mooncoin at family occasions and in the pub run by Robbie's parents, called the Red Lion in Burslem.

 

The Farrells, originally from John's Green in the centre of the city were similar to a lot of hard working Irish immigrants who left post-Famine Ireland for the Collieries and Iron Works in the Tunstall area of "The Potteries" in Stoke-On-Trent.

 

 

John Farrell 1845 - 1872 was born in John's Green and he and his wife Sarah moved to Stoke and Robbie's great grandfather, John Farrell was born at Goldenhill, Stoke.

 

Robbie's great grandfather, Martin Farrell fought in the Boer War and World War I and died in December 1942 while his son “Big Jack” was fighting with the 4th Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment in World War II.

 

Earlier, in the 1930s, he had followed his father into the pits during the coal mining boom. Jack would become Robbie William's Grandfather to whom Robbie was very attached..

 

In an interview from 2014, Robbie William said of his grandfather: “My grandfather, Jack Farrell – Jack the Giant Killer – was a huge man, built like an Irish navvy, fought in the Second World War, lived on a council estate. He was the first real male figure in my life – he was an honest man, he taught me to box, I was surrounded by women and he worried that I was going to be a sissy.

The significance of Robbie dressed in the Kilkenny colours , hurling is big in Kilkenny, they are called the Cats :P

 

Rock steady

Get your calendars out, music lovers young and old — 2018’s a busy one.

A lot has changed since Paul McCartney toured Australia more than 24 years ago — you couldn’t video that gig on your iPhone, for one thing. The two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee brings his long-running One on One tour to Australian shores next month, giving fans a behemoth 2½-hour set of The Beatles and Wings, as well as tracks from solo ventures.

 

Another Hall of Famer is British folk artist Yusuf/Cat Stevens, whose last tour in 2010 broke a 36-year absence. He begins his national A Cat’s Attic: Peace Train tour in Perth on November 22 — 50 years since his first album and titular song, Matthew and Son.

 

Hot on the heels of these two juggernauts are British indie-rock group Alt-J and Canadian RnB singer-songwriter The Weeknd, followed by the Foo Fighters on their Concrete and Gold World Tour, with support from alt-rockers Weezer.

 

February welcomes a number of big names. Robbie Williams brings his Heavy Entertainment Show tour down under, beginning February 24 in Melbourne, with glittering pop anthems such as Let Me Entertain You and Rock DJ. Ben Folds presents his high-octane rock with the intimacy of one piano on his Paper Aeroplane Request tour, starting in Brisbane. And Grammy-winner Bruno Mars hits the capitals with his 24K Magic World tour.

 

The National’s brooding melancholy will take over three iconic outdoor venues — Sydney’s Opera House Forecourt, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl and Brisbane’s Riverstage — on a tour of their seventh album, Sleep Well Beast. On the heels of their newest album release, Wonderful Wonderful, The Killers have announced their largest national tour yet, arriving in Brisbane on April 27 for a slew of arena-scale performances in most capitals. Only half the original members will be here, though: guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer will be substituted by two performers who have previously worked with the band.

 

Retro-pop songstress Lana Del Rey will return for the first time since 2012, armed with three more albums, to play the east coast in March-April. Sibling indie-folk duo Angus & Julia Stone sold out their latest national tour in record time, but fans are in luck: they’ll play another round of shows in April-May.

 

Macklemore stirred controversy in October with his NRL Grand Final performance of pro-marriage equality track, One Love. Capitalising on that fame boost, he returns to Australia for a strategically marketed headline tour Gemini in February.

 

The annual multi-day, multi-state Falls Festival rings in another New Year with Flume, Fleet Foxes, The Kooks, Julia Jacklin and a wildcard, Daryl Braithwaite. Tasmania’s Mona Foma, parent festival to winter’s Dark Mofo, returns to Launceston and Hobart in an 11-day spectacle over January, headlined by Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Violent Femmes.

 

Touring across the nation is Laneway Festival, kicking off on February 2 in Adelaide. It boasts exclusive performances from The Internet, Wolf Alice and Bonobo, and a healthy roster of local talent, with Amy Shark and City Calm Down among them. Other notables are Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Father John Misty and Mac Demarco.

 

WOMADelaide stays true to its eclectic self with Mexican acoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and electronic-sample kings The Avalanches. And Bluesfest at Byron Bay is no slouch this year, with Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers, Prince’s band The New Power Generation, Jose Gonzalez and Lionel Richie.

 

And all this is just the start of a huge 12 months.

 

The Australian’s late music writer Iain Shedden will be honoured at the ARIA Awards on November 28, 2017.

I only ever had one RW calendar & I got a present of that one.... I like the look of this years, some really nice pics.....

 

I went to buy this off RW.Com last night and it is £3.95 P&P :angry:

 

£8 for the calendar and half as much again for postage.

 

So I didn't buy it and I'll go and get it off the guy in the Ashley Centre in Epsom for nil postage. <_<

ROBBIE WILLIAMS DECLINED BACK OPERATION

 

Robbie Williams declined to have an operation on his back after he found out he would have been out of action for eight months.

 

 

LONDON - Robbie Williams would have been out of action for eight months if he had had an operation on his back.

 

The hitmaker had to cancel the last few dates of his tour earlier this year after suffering from severe back pain and he did consider getting looked at by the surgeon but decided against it when he was told he had to do nothing but lie down for nearly a year.

 

He said: "I had a really bad back at the start of the year; it was really debilitating. Then I had to go on tour and at the best of times, I have to be 100 percent to go on tour because it's really demanding. I had a slipped disc in the middle of my back, a slipped disc in my neck and arthritis in the bottom of my back. I was a mess and I was taking injections to go on each night. As the tour went on, it just caught up with me. But I managed to do 97 percent of the tour ...

 

"I was going to [have the operation]. The operation they wanted to do for me was to break two of my ribs going through the back and then put a plate on my ribs and I was going to have to lie down for eight months. The recuperation was going to be eight months of me and YouTube and you lovely people."

 

However, Williams is back in good health now and he credits his new plant-based diet for helping with the healing process.

 

Speaking during an appearance on ITV's Loose Women alongside his wife Ayda Field, he added: "The back's taken care of itself. Lots of yoga, lots of pilates ...

 

"I'm not a vegan but I'm doing plant-based stuff. I'm more vegan than I was but I'm on my way there. Occasionally [we eat meat] but not as often. I wanted to do anything to make the back better and I heard if you eat a lot of meat, you get a lot of inflammation so I decided to go plant-based."

Glad the back is doing better. Bodes well for the Oz/NZ leg of the tour. ^_^

This looks like a nice place, I have been to the wineries in Australia, really nice area

 

 

 

Robbie Williams Adds A Weekday A Day On The Green Show In The Yarra Valley

 

By PAUL CASHMERE on DECEMBER 8, 2017

 

 

Robbie Williams will play the first ever weekday A Day On The Green show in the Yarra Valley as part of his Heavy Entertainment Show Australian tour.

 

 

Williams had already locked in a show at Mt Duneed Estate outside Melbourne down Geelong way on 3 March 2018 for A Day On The Green and will now also do a second regional Melbourne show for Rochford Winery on Thursday 22 February 2018.

 

A Day On The Green’s co-founder Mick Newton says, “We couldn’t think of a better act or bigger superstar to perform at our first ever an evening on the green in Victoria. Rochford Wines is a wonderful venue and on a warm summer’s night, the concert promises to be something very very special.”

 

Getting to A Day On The Green on a “school night” is made a lot easier bussing it over by Coach. Having used Melbourne On The Move to get from Melbourne to Rochford and back a number of times Noise11 can confirm that this is a lot easier, quicker and way more comfortable that being stuck in a crowded car park after the event. It also gives you a chance to enjoy the winery without risking a DUI.

 

Shuttles from Melbourne and Suburbs:

Melbourne On The Move – Visit Website 1300 558 686

 

Accommodation Shuttles:

Pick up and return from accommodation in Lilydale, Healesville, Yarra Glen & Warburton

Wild Wombat Winery Tours – 1300 945 396

Yarra Valley Winery Tours – Visit Website or 1300 496 766

 

Sheppard will open for Robbie Williams at A Day On The Green Rochford.

 

Robbie Williams at Rochford Winery is 22 February 2018.
