Greg and Mikey play a special 'Original Duo' show in Adelaide.
2 sets l all the Things of Stone and Wood hits l limited capacity.
It was 1989. The end of one decade and the start of something new. Michael Allen – Mikey to his mates – appeared on the doorstep of Greg Arnold’s Carlton share house in Melbourne, Australia with beers in hand and harmonies in head. “There were no gigs to hustle and no recordings to make,” Greg says. “We sang and drank for the fun of it.”

More than 30 years on, buoyed by their massive hit "Happy Birthday Helen", Things of Stone and Wood have had two Top 10 albums, a Top 10 single and five Top 50 hits, plus a chart hit in Germany. The band has also won an ARIA Award, and singer Greg Arnold was proclaimed Songwriter of the Year at the APRA Music Awards.

Now Greg and Mikey, who started the whole shebang are doing a special run of shows as Things of Stone and Wood (Original Duo). Come and hear stripped back (but still rocking) versions of hits like “Happy Birthday Helen”, “Wildflowers”, “Rock This Boat” and “Share This Wine” that have all become part of the Australian songbook.
Every Things of Stone and Wood show has always been full of energy and passion and these shows will be no different. Don’t miss your chance to see this special version of “Melbourne’s most inspired and inspiring acoustic band” (Michael Dwyer).
