Brumbies and the Lions

Posted on May 22, 2013 by ian

The British & Irish Lions are playing a number of matches in Australia between June 5 and July 6.  There will be three Test matches against the Qantas Wallabies, the five Australian Super Rugby franchises and a combined NSW-Queensland Country team during their visit.

The Lions are in Canberra on Tuesday June 18 to play the ACT Brumbies at Canberra Stadium and Rydges Capital Hill is pleased to welcome the Lions’ supporters as guests.  Be assured that we will be the first to offer congratulations on a game well-played and won’t dare rub it in about your losing score ;-) – and if, on the other hand, for some inexplicable reason we get soundly thrashed, out of tune singing in the bar will be forgiven.

Adam has returned from the UK and is live onstage at the Enmore with his first solo show in three years.

Happyism is the long overdue, and highly anticipated, return to the stage back home in Australia.

I caught Adam live when he toured with Spicks & Specks a few years ago and he really does have the knack of making you feel as if you are the only person in the theatre.
