Paul Kelly headlined the popular Leeuwin Estate concert on Saturday, with more than 5000 people in attendance for one of Australia’s most beloved solo acts.

The prestigious event drew a cast of Perth’s most respected and successful people, including Federal Finance and Public Service Minister Mathias Cormann and wife, Hayley; and WA Treasurer Ben Wyatt and wife Vivianne.

Kelly’s performance included classics such as Dumb Things, How To Make Gravy and a four-song encore starting with From Little Things Big Things Grow and culminating in a poetic five-person harmony. However, a controversial ending to the performance was sparked when revellers dancing at the side of the event rushed the stage and stood dancing in front of the $500 ticket-holders who were sitting, sparking a mad rush to the front of the amphitheatre for the encore.
