... at Gatz
The moment I stepped into Gatz at the City of Dreams, Cinnamon Life, on Saturday, 20th September, I was immediately reminded of the hit song 'Starry, Starry Night' by Don McLean.
The venue was packed with some of the big names in the local scene, both past and present, and they were all there to take in singer Noeline Honter's final night at Gatz, and she was, as usual, awesome on stage, ably backed by Mirage.
