about

This 23-track live album was recorded on 13 May 2023, in concert at Shenton Park Community Centre, Perth, Western Australia. An audience of about 100 people attended.

The show was filmed. Videos of all 23 album tracks, plus the opening speech by Tristan Fidler, can be seen in this playlist:

The show was in two halves, with songs taken from Benedict's eight albums and other releases going back to 2002.

In the first half Jonathan Brain joined Benedict on keyboard and then guitar, (singing harmonies with Benedict for the first time), before Benedict finished with some solo songs.

In the second half Julian Bolleter joined Benedict on keyboard, followed by a group of songs played fourpiece, with Julian on keyboard, Jonathan on guitar and singing and Rosemary Halsmith on cajón
