Victoria’s View

Hiya Hinchinbrook, wow, what a weekend. I don’t know about all of you, but my feet were so sore after chasing Tones around town all day Friday and then standing through her whole concert. Followed by another show Saturday night, and I think I’m all concert-ed out.

Across both shows, the region experienced a huge range of musical genres, which was really refreshing to hear. The Tones concert brought us indie with Comfort Royal warming up the crowd, then country with Josie to get things heating up, followed with cheers and screams by Tones and I with her pop repertoire. On Saturday, Diesel took it home with a mix of rock, soul and blues.

I got to meet Tones and her crew, and they were all such lovely, down-to-earth people. She was a perfect fit for the people of Hinchinbrook, sharing aspirations, passion and lots of love for what they do. It is no wonder Ingham scored the first concert (and at the time the only concert) on her regional towns tour.

Amazing work, Hinchinbrook. Your spirit and drive could move mountains. What a wonderful community to be a part of, truly.

Future musings: Since Tones proved Ingham could host such large events on short notice, I wonder what other big names we could get to perform in the region?
