Starship Supernova Swing Raises $110,000

Starship's super concert, The Starship Supernova Swing, was a huge success and the final tally for the amount raised on the night has been updated to $110,000. That is phenomenonal! It was such a spectacular night by all the performers who worked for nothing and made it such a special night. Lucy, as always, was on fire and the other performers - Jason Kerrison, Kirsten Morrell, James Reid, Dave Gibson, Peter Urlich, Nathan King, The Lady Killers, Nerida Lister, Monty Betham, The Tuxedo Swing Orchestra and Shane Cortese were SUPERB.

For more about the Starship Supernova Swing, you can view images, video and my own report of the night by going to the AUSXIP Flawless Diva Starship Supernova Swing Subsite

Lucy at Starship Supernova Swing Subsite Updated

The Starship Supernova Swing subsite has been slow to be updated (that's what having way too much fun in New Zealand does to me...slacker!) but I finally got all the elements (photos, video, reports, song list) together and updated the Starship Supernova Subsite!

It was truly a SPECTACULAR night and one that I won't forget in a hurry! Many many many thanks to Starship - Andrew Young, Bobbie Brown and all the rest of the fantastic team who put this concert together. It wouldn't be a spectacular night without the amazing Miss Lucy who was absolutely adorable, fantastic and a pleasure to watch perform! Wish you all could have seen it (the videos give you a good idea) but for those that couldn't be there, the subsite brings together the fun of the evening! Enjoy!

Lucy at Starship Supernova Report and Pics

Well what a night! Just got back from the Starship Supernova event. It was SPECTACULAR...I'm using that word quite a bit lately.

Lucy was FANTASTIC and on song, she looked GORGEOUS and INCREDIBLE. Yes yes I know I need to give a more indepth report but it's close to midnight and I'm buzzing. Lucy sang 3 songs by herself, 1 as a backing singer, 1 duet and 2 ensemble.

 Lucy was phenomenal and truly a class act amongst a great bunch of great performers. Starship was the winner tonight and that is the main reason why this was on.

To Andrew, Bobbie, Cindy and the rest of the staff who worked so hard in putting this together, thank you!

I also got the opportunity to meet Mrs Ryan, Lucy's mum. What a character she is; I can see where Lucy got her sense of humour from! What a great lady.

AND to top off the night Lucy gave me 2 INCREDIBLE posters of the NEXT Magazine cover to auction off in the next AUSXIP Auction. More about that when I get some sleep :)

Thank you Lucy, you ROCK or in this case...SWING! Fantastic evening.

Click here to view the images which I have to thank Adi for taking for me - she had the added pressure of me telling her that thousands of fans were waiting to see these...no pressure at all :) Thanks Adi!

Before I forget some of the cast of Spartacus was there and I nearly let the opportunity to meet Peter Mensah go - got the courage to stick out my hand and say hello...I'm surpised I can actually form a coherent thought right now :) That's for another post!
