It’s the first time Donavan, who shot to fame in Australian soap Neighbours, has toured as a solo artist in six years and the first time’s hever toured the Ten Good Reasons Album.

“You know, I’ve never played some of these songs live ever before. Music has a wonderful opportunity to put you in a time and place, an emotional connection that no other creative medium can. Ten Good Reasons was a defining moment for me and my fans... I was 21 at the time...,” he says.

“Only when I realise now that these are distant memories, do I appreciate how lucky I was. The great thing about this tour is I can re-live those feelings and share it with the fans who were there with me.”
