Dancing In the Street
"You can't hurry love, you just have to wait."
"It was only my imagination , running out of the way."
"Twist and shout!"
Human Nature, an Aussie singing group from Sydney's south-west heartland, are better than ever. Not just in showmanship, continuing captivation, audience grabbing attention and building up the crescendo for the fans to be literally dancing in their seats, but also to show a sense of giving back to the community. Having a TV personality, Andrew Denton, introduce to the audience a lady who has endured much deterioration of health, but whose personal wish is to publicly sing with Human Nature and apparently looks fine, may seem to be a publicity stunt by some, but to me, it makes a statement about the heart.
I was privileged to witness the latest tour of this four-man group whose key display tool is their voice box. They can harmonise effectively on a tune without any musical instrument, and yet render their versions of retro songs with dazzling moves and a complementing entourage. The Sandpit in Wollongong's Entertainment Centre by the Tasman Sea encourages a more intimate atmosphere for both performer and audience. The trumpet players jived, the bar stool chairs swivelled and there was not even an intermission to reflect, as the two and a half hours of concert blended into a movie-like experience of a musical journey.
Toby sang solo with "Unforgettable", while I preferred Andrew's falsetto renditions, especially those that mixed well with the female singers Paulini and the Naturales. Andrew's brother Michael is a powerhouse of a performer with his versatile voice and beaming presence. The rotating roundtable stage in the centre is a terrific idea of ensuring that the audience on all sides had their share of being addressed. The Tierney brothers, Andrew and Michael, seemed most down-to-earth. All performers require a good level of physical fitness, but Human Nature also has flair. My only regret was not having a concert programme for them to autograph! The audience wanted to continue dancing on to the streets after, and also in their inner hearts.
