Paul Kitching – aka PK – from Fuller Brand Communication has been out and about enough over his 50+ years to still have his finger on the pulse for the best things to see, do and enjoy in our excellent state. Whilst we all know life starts at 50, we also know what we like right?! And yes, we are choosy about how we dedicate our precious spare time. With lots on offer, PK reckons these gems are all worthy…

James Taylor
Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Fri Apr 19
Not gonna lie, this is set to be my favourite gig ever. I grew up listening to James Taylor’s warm baritone voice and distinctive style of guitar-playing and can’t wait to see it live. Since his break-out debut album in 1968 the man has sold more than 100 million albums, earning all of the awards. And if you need one more reason to see him – this living legend is the first artist to have a Billboard Top 10 album in each of the past six decades!
