“Go Your Own Way” draws in Fleetwood Mac fans

Award-winning artist and Sydney Theatre Award nominee Catherine Alcorn will bring her critically acclaimed stage show Go Your Own Way based on the life of one of rock’s most fiercely private and intriguing figures, Christine McVie, to Taree’s Manning Entertainment Centre on Friday May 12, 2017.

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of their most famous album, RUMOURS.

Commissioned by Kate Ceberano for the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Go Your Own Way is the story of great music and the tempestuous life of Christine McVie.

Christine McVie was the girl who started out as a school teacher, picked up a bass guitar and began to sing the blues. Then she joined Fleetwood Mac and made rock history.

No stranger to NSW audiences, Alcorn, who is more famously known for her portrayal as The Di-vine Miss Bette, which broke box office records all across Australia on her 2016 tour, is excited to be making her Taree debut this year.

“I’m thrilled to be playing the Manning Entertainment Centre for the first time. As a young girl, my family and I holidayed in Old Bar for a number of years. I love the area as it holds very fond memories for me. I’m particularly excited to be bringing them Christine McVie’s story. Her music is the heart and soul of this beautifully crafted piece. It will be a nostalgic evening for many.”

In a career that so far spans four decades, the enigmatic McVie is brought to life in this play-with-music by Alcorn who brings her own magic to some of the most memorable songs of the 20th century including Little Lies, Everywhere, Don’t Stop and Songbird.

Featuring an all-star band including American Idiot’s Glenn Moorhouse (musical director), Go Your Own Way explores Christine’s contrary attitude to global fame, ridiculous wealth, love and loss, personal privacy, songwriting.

Sounds interesting. Neat that it's something all about Christine. She never gets the credit she deserves. I'm a bit confused to why the title isn't one of her songs though. I mean I get that GYOW is probably the most widely recognized Fleetwood Mac song, but I think Don't Stop would work as a title.

Or Songbird.

Well, that BBC program is definitely something to look forward to.

Wow, this is really exciting news. I wonder who else they interviewed. You've got to imagine, if they are going to go all the way over to Richards house for an interview, this will be extensive and involve a wide range of people. Cant wait.

This is awesome! I hope they have early footage, too. Earlier than the 1968 video of Chicken Shack performing "See See Baby" on French television.

I just unpacked these coasters from my storage boxes. They came with a holder that consisted of the actual vinyl album heated and shaped into a dish. That broke, so I threw it away.

Holy sh*t! I love that! Where did you get it?

I bought them on Etsy a few years back. I thought it was really cute, but the vinyl bowl was the eye catcher, when I used to keep the coasters in my den. I am sorry I broke it.

OMG
They are an excuse to throw a party, just to use the coasters.

If I ever won the Powerball lottery, I would have a house in Santa Barbara over looking the ocean. I would have a $500 bottle of wine and use these coasters as I wrapped in my Oh Daddy shawl listening to In The Meantime on the balcony. LIFE COULD GET NO BETTER

On the flip side, I found Homer's Xmas gift. He can use these drinking malt liquor break dancing to Sister Honey

Sissssssstahhhhh
