“Jo Jo Zep brought soul to Oz rock and The Black Sorrows did it again” Rolling Stone Australia Jan 2017 Formed in Melbourne in 1984 by Joe Camilleri, The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia’s most enduring touring bands, earning the reputation as a dynamic live act and festival favourite. Their musicianship and energy appeals to music fans everywhere. On stage, frontman Joe Camilleri steers the band through an infectious interplay of solid grooves that mixes blues, soul, old school R&B and gospel, with flashes of jazz, country and Brill Building pop. Awarded “Living Legend” status by Australian Rolling Stone, Joe Camilleri has kicked a staggering number of goals during his 50+ years in music as a singer, songwriter, multi-talented musician and producer. Joe first came to prominence as leader of seminal 70’s band, Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons. Considered one of the most genuinely talented figures in Australian music, Joe was inducted into the ARIA Music Hall of Fame in 2007. The Black Sorrows have a legion of loyal fans throughout Australia and Europe. There have been hit records and multi-platinum albums and relentless touring. Joe’s songwriting skills are much in demand with greats, Elvis Costello and John Denver having recorded versions of his songs. Along with Joe Camilleri (vocals/guitar/sax/harp) the band boast a formidable lineup with Claude Carranza (guitar/vocals), Mark Gray (bass/vocals), James Black (keyboards/vocals) and Tony Floyd (drums). “Catching The Black Sorrows brand of raw, rootsy, hip-shaking rock’n’roll feels like discovering the best bar band in the world” The Dubai National “…you know you’re in the presence of a real thumping, jangling, Mississippi-by-way-of-Melbourne rock n’ roll band” The Skinny Edinburgh “Camilleri is an Aussie rock legend and one of this nation’s finest performers..the epitome of a hardworking entertainer who knows how to connect with his audience.” Sydney Morning Herald

Joe was great - as usual. The show was quite conversational and spontaneous. Rather than perform a fixed set list, Joe ad-libbed a bit - typified by his comment: "I came to deliver 70 minutes, but here we are at the hour mark and I've only played three songs". It was five by my count, but you get the drift .. A great night, marred a bit by the acoustics of Bicentennial Hall.
The Q - Queanbeyan Performing Arts Centre Queanbeyan, AustraliaJoe and the band's performance was great but as I want to hear the words of the songs I think the volume of the backing musical instruments should be lowered to achieve this. For one of the last numbers Joe invited the audience to stand up in the aisles and dance. The response was enthusiastic which suggests that a more crowd friendly venue would have been better for the audience. Rating 7/10
Kyneton Town Hall Kyneton, AustraliaFabulous, always enjoy the Capretto’s but with Joe went to a whole new level, he is such an energetic performer. I thought the stage was too wide though, would like them grouped closer, couldn’t see Jason he was hidden by the drum kit and was so good watching Jackie set up his kit such perfectionist so glad he made it, he must have been exhausted.
Crown Theatre Perth Burswood Wa, AustraliaFirst time to see the Fabulous Caprettos with Joe Cameleri as special Goat. Great show performed by a very very talented group of entertainers. You could see the fun, enjoyment and amazement in their eyes and smiles, they were enjoying what they were doing together. Will definitely follow these guys and see them again. Just Brilliant All of Them.
