| Keith Urban back where it all began
NICE to see Australia's newest international star hasn't forgotten his roots.
Keith Urban, dubbed male vocalist of the year at the US Country Music Awards in November, dropped into the Normanby Hotel on Brisbane's city fringe. t was the Normanby where Urban talked the management into giving him a regular gig.
"I used to play a few nights a week, it was my first residency," he said as he propped up the bar. It would have been 1989 or 1990 that I used to play here. I haven't been inside here since. "
The boy from Caboolture won't be in Oz for next week's Australian Country Music Awards, though. He's booked for a trade function next week, at the Australian Consulate in Los Angeles with Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman.
