It’s old time waiata on the sound system as Spark Arena fills. This wouldn’t be my choice of venue, I mutter within, descending the steep concrete steps, feet sticking to concrete floor from accumulations of beer spillage at past shows.

Three years after it was first planned, An Evening with Marlon Williams finally arrives in Adelaide (although his band did play a truncated set in late 2022 at Harvest Rock) to complete the tour, this final night ("show 41 of 41") added after the original Adelaide show sold out.

Transitioning from fronting a popular band to being a solo performer is a path well-travelled, but that’s not to say it’s a simple one. Many have tried and failed, but it’s those artists who really have something new to offer that can turn it into something exciting.

“I know we’re in 2023 but it’s not that bad. I’d hate to be on the boat this song is written about.”
