KELVIN CONFIDENTIAL ‘LIVE’ presents enduring Australian musical icons, Mick Thomas and Paulie Stewart in conversation and song.

Two irrepressible creative legends come together to discuss their roots, inspirations and passions and then play some tunes in this utterly unique evening of quintessentially Melbourne stories and songs.

Mick was born in the Latrobe Valley and spent his childhood travelling Victoria with an itinerant SEC family. By his early twenties he was living in Melbourne playing in bands ultimately forming the Weddings, Parties Anything group which disbanded in 1998. He is currently defying gravity with Squeezebox Wally and the Roving Commission and when not lugging his sorry arse down the highway is a card-carrying member of the Old Fathers of Northcote Society.

Paulie Stewart AO is not only the legendary frontman for the infamous Painters And Dockers pub / punk band but is also a legend of the movement advocating for the freedom of East Timor and West Papua where his brother, one of the Balibo Five, was murdered. Paul formed the Dili Allstars which highlighted the plight of the Timorese. Not only is he a musician and an activist, Paulie also worked as a music journalist with the Melbourne Herald Sun for 30 years.

Both Paulie and Mick have recently published their personal writings through publishers Melbourne Books, and these will be available for sale on the night.
