Welcome to the October issue of intouch, packed with exciting and diverse stories that capture the spirit of our beautiful region. If you think the city is buzzing this month, then you’d be right! Sir Paul McCartney hits the stage this month for a historic first, with the first of his concerts to ever be played outside an Australian capital city. Now 81 years young and widely recognised as a creative genius, he has an extraordinary list of multi disciplinary achievements to his name, but it’s his cross-generational music that will draw the fans in what is sure to be a sell-out concert. The Beatles are perhaps the most culture-defining and influential band in the world, responsible for revolutionising not just music but how it was produced and promoted, gender stereotypes, fashion and media. As an individual, McCartney is an extraordinarily creative and driven human being who has spent his life challenging himself and pushing the boundaries of his creative output.
