Celebrating 25 Years of Watching Angels Mend Twenty-five years on, Watching Angels Mend still feels like a record that found people when they needed it most — honest, melodic, and quietly fearless. Released at the turn of the century, it became a defining chapter in Alex Lloyd’s story: songs that travelled far beyond their original rooms, soundchecks, and late-night scribbles, and into the lives of strangers who somehow knew every word. In 2021, the 20-year anniversary should have been the moment to gather, reflect, and play those songs the way they were meant to be heard — loud, together, in a room. But COVID and lockdowns had other plans. Like so many artists and fans, the celebration was postponed, and that milestone passed without the shared catharsis it deserved. Now, this 25-year show is the moment that was missed — a chance to honour the album’s legacy, and also the life it has had since: the years of touring, the shifting seasons, the hard-earned perspective, and the newer music that has grown from the same heart. Over recent years, Alex Lloyd has evolved into arguably one of Australia’s most compelling live vocalists. There is a depth and control to his singing now that feels both effortless and hard-won — a voice shaped by experience, capable of moving from restraint to full emotional release. Each performance is soulful, grounded, and cathartic, capturing audiences with a presence that is both intimate and commanding. Watching Angels Mend produced a remarkable run of singles, with “Amazing,” “Green,” and “Everybody’s Laughing” all reaching the Australian Top 40. “Amazing” would go on to become one of the most enduring Australian songs of its era, winning four ARIA Awards including Song of the Year, and earning a permanent place in the cultural landscape through its deep connection with listeners across generations. Twenty-five years on, Watching Angels Mend sti

here’s no denying that Catherine Britt has well and truly lived her life and it’s all laid bare on her nineth career album, “The Hardest Thing” . This is an album that is intended to be listened to from start to finish. And nothing is held back. It touches on the exploitation she endured as a young female in the music industry, her marriage breakdown, mustering the strength to heal, her road to sobriety and finding love again. “The Hardest Thing” is the ultimate triumph of one of Australia’s most loved and celebrated country artists. This is the sound of redemption and Catherine Britt at her absolute finest. “Is it too early to name The Hardest Thing the album of the year?” Jon Wolfe, Capital News “Catherine Britt’s ninth sees her exuding grit and self-determination … Britt sounds positively reinvigorated here.” Apple Music “This is what Catherine Britt does … this is why she’s a genius” Sophie Hamley, Sunburnt Country The name Catherine Britt is synonymous with country music and is one of the most successful Australian acts in the genre. She is a five-time Golden Guitar Award winner and six-time ARIA Award Best Country Album nominee. At 17 she signed to RCA in the US, earned two US Billboard Top 40 Chart singles, toured and worked with everyone from Brooks & Dunn to Alan Jackson to Dolly Parton, is the youngest Australian ever to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and recorded a duet with Sir Elton John. Catherine is also a key member of the successful Americana outfit, The Pleasures, alongside Lachlan Bryan.
