A Year

A year (sigh....) What is a year?

What is that song from "Rent", 'Seasons of Love'? (lyrics from Let's Sing It:

Five hundrend twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
Five hundrend twenty five thousand
moments so dear
Five hundrend twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year

In daylight, in sunsets, in midnights,
in cups of coffee, In inches, in miles
in laughter in strife,

In Five hundrend twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life

(chorus)
How about Love
how about love
how about love
measure in love
seasons of love
seasons of love

Well, I'm reminded by Frontier Touring Company's latest announcement:

Kylie's Australian tour promoter The Frontier Touring Company announced on Sunday evening that they are holding dates at the end of 2006 for the rescheduling of the Australian leg of Kylie's Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour.

The announcement coincided with TEN's airing of highlights from Kylie's Earls Court Showgirl concert. The special was aired at Kylie's request as a preview for the tens of thousands of fans still holding tickets to her Australian tour.

Promoter Michael Gudinski said Kylie's thoughts were still with her Australian fans.

"Kylie's touched that so many of her fans are waiting so patiently for the rescheduling of her Showgirl tour.

"She wanted fans to have a small taste of the concert that she will bring them in the future."

Michael Gudinski confirmed that The Frontier Touring Company are holding dates with venues for the end of 2006 and that the company hoped to make an announcement of exact dates in the New Year.

"Our aim is to give Kylie the time she needs to recover fully. We appreciate that the end of next year is a long time away for ticket holders and the option of refunding tickets will remain available to fans."

In some very exciting news The Frontier Touring Company also announced that Kylie has decided the 2006 version of Showgirl will be varied and updated from the original version seen overseas in 2005 as a thank you for the patience and understanding of Australian ticket holders.

"Fans that hold onto their tickets will be part of a tour that they won't ever forget. Kylie's been thinking about these shows a lot over the past months, and they're going to be something special," Michael Gudinski said.
