State Theatre, Sydney & Perth’s Concert Hall

Support with USA’s Joe Bonamassa

 After nearly a month in Poland and England, Claude returned home to 2 majestic shows:  Perth Concert Hall and State Theatre at Sydney. Both shows were in support of award winning internationally reknowned Joe Bonamassa. Playing to nearly sold out concert halls, Claude wowed the audience and got them ready for the virtuosity of Joe Bonamassa

Extra special thanks to Peter Coates of Inside Edge Photography for up close and personal pics at State Theatre. His album of pics of Claude can be seen here on LiveGuide
