Gig at the Enmore
A gig at the Enmore is a great night out on its own, but do you know the best places to eat drink or shop before or after the show?
The Main Event A gig at The Enmore
That's entertainment: Paul Weller - yes, the Modfather himself, late of The Jam and The Style Council - is doing three shows at the Enmore Theatre from Tue 19 to Thu 21 Aug, showing off material from his new album 22 Dreams as well as his voluminous back catalogue (aside from his solo career, he's not adverse to dipping into the repertoire of his former bands). Assuming you're quick enough to grab some of the few remaining tickets for Thu 21, it should be the sort of show that makes Sydney's two-decades-plus wait for a Weller tour worthwhile.
