Just so happened that last Sunday I chanced upon the World AIDS Day free concert at Federation Square in the city. The concert featured local artists like Rob Mills and Kate Alexa.
The concert drew a large crowd to the square and the weather was fabulous with sunny sky and light cool southerly wind so as not to get too hot so everyone can enjoy the concert.
As usual Mayor John So was there to officially declare the concert open so the party could begin. I don't know what is it about John So but he's so popular everyone loves him be them asian or european descent.
I can't remember who this guy is but he does have a good voice. In fact I don't really know any of the artists performing on the day so don't feel bad if you don't know them either because they are after all local Australian artists.
However I do know this young rising star, her name is Kate Alexa and her debut album is Broken & Beautiful packed with pop hits like Always There and My Days Will Come.
Before I left I watched one last act by Cousin Leonard who I think are also very good. Don't just take my words for it, watch the video clip below of their performance and judge it for yourself!
