I've stepped sideways for a time to write my memoir, which is still a work in progress. Starting at my family's migrations from Italy in the 50's, working for Australia's first pop magazine Go-Set in the 60s, Warner/Elektra/Atlantic Records in Sydney and London in the 70s, moving to Country Music Capital Tamworth in the 70s, 80's and 90s, and then to Mullumbimby in the 2000s. There are many epic stories to tell and I hope it will be ready in 2023. Check out the many videos on this website and also my You Tube channel.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">Meanwhile, I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas in the folds of your family and loved ones, and a Happy and Healthy 2023. Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all. Love and Happiness to you. Clelia</span></p>Clelia Adamstag:cleliaadams.com,2005:Post/70763372022-10-07T15:50:35+11:002024-02-20T16:26:15+11:00Cleo from Go-Set Magazine Rides Again - with Donnie Sutherland and Molly Meldrum<p>From my upcoming memoir of my former life in the late 60s</p>
<p>The ever increasing sales and popularity of the magazine meant we needed more feature writers, but more to the point, we needed more room for the ever expanding staff. Hence the move to 7 Myrtle Street, Crows Nest, a spacious North Sydney suburban cottage with 5 rooms and a small kitchen out the back. Two new writers joined the Go-Set team, musician and journalist Greg Quill (of Country Radio/ “Gypsy Queen” fame) and the very erudite and knowledgeable Michael Edmonds. </p>
<p>The head honchoes of Melbourne Go-Set wanted the magazine to be more current and relevant to the changing music scene coming through from the UK and the US. The teenybopper image needed an upgrade to cover the more serious and progressive music. A lift out called CORE was introduced promoting bands like Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, The Band, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, The Who as well as blues, soul, psychedelic rock, acid rock, surf rock, and anything left of centre. This is the area where Greg and Michael excelled bringing musical intelligence to the magazine and appealing to a more informed reader. </p>
<p>Donnie Sutherland was a hoot to work with, always bringing hilarious tales of his dubious weekend happenings at the horse races, his DJ adventures at the discos and dances which led to a new female love interest every week. He would dictate his column to me as I typed and corrected spelling and grammar as we went along. Sydney Publicist Dianna O’Neill remembers Donnie chasing her around my desk one time when she wagged school to come hang out at the office. Needless to say she had a very short sports uniform on and was a little cutie pie. Bad boy Donnie! </p>
<p>The other one who always caused a huge kerfuffle when he visited the Sydney office was Molly Meldrum. He was managing Russell Morris who was killing it on the charts and in the music venues all over Australia with hit after hit. The Real Thing, Hush, Wings of an Eagle – Russell was unstoppable, and a lovely human being as well. Molly had to be the centre of attention of course and wreaked havoc with his entourage in tow. The loud hysterical laughter, weird wonderful stories and risqué camp jokes were highly entertaining, but it was impossible to get any work done with Molly around. Molly was a one off personality – “what you see is what you get” as the nation saw when he fronted Countdown in later years. Thankfully he is still with us....God love him! </p>

This is a new episode of my adventures back in the day. Taken from my upcoming memoir.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">I often hitched a ride back to Orange to see my family. Hitching a ride home is exactly what I was doing in November 1968 when I got a lift with pop band The Executives. Normie Rowe, Dinah Lee and the Execs were headlining a big show in Dubbo. I was leaving the troupe in Orange where they were to pick up Normie who had flown in, then continue to Dubbo. Lead singer of the Executives Gino Cunico who was driving the van and road manager John Swiney had just changed positions, putting me in the middle seat and John in the left passenger seat. Gino said he was doing 50 mph when an oncoming semitrailer taking up most of the road had forced him into the gravel where he lost control of the vehicle and we ploughed head on into the embankment, overturned and finished upside down in a ditch. We were lucky to be alive. The van was a complete write off and most of the $4,000 worth of equipment badly damaged. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">First on the scene after rescue crews arrived to extract us from the van was Normie Rowe, who had been waiting for his ride to Dubbo just up the road from the accident site. He helped gather and salvage the damaged equipment. My heart went out to John Sweeney who in the left passenger seat suffered horrendous facial injuries and was in hospital for a very long time. There but for the grace of God go I. In the middle seat I had the full force of the weight of the van full of amps and PA equipment hit me squarely in the back causing terrible problems for years. Gino and I were checked out thoroughly in hospital and sent home with a few bandages on our scratches. Kind souls rallied to get Normie and Gino to Dubbo where the show did go on. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">A strange coincidence that only a few years later my cousins Nicki and Brian Turner purchased the property at the exact location where the van had crashed, only 2 kms from Orange. They built their magnificent home and started Turner’s Vineyard there. Whenever I drive past that spot, I am reminded of this close call and say a little prayer for John with a thankful heart to have sur</span>vived.</p>Clelia Adamstag:cleliaadams.com,2005:Post/70498062022-08-31T13:06:54+10:002024-02-20T16:28:06+11:00Cleo from Go-Set Magazine Rides Again! Hanging out with my buddy Bon Scott<p>I’ve stepped sideways for a while to write my memoir. Back in the late 60’s I was known as Cleo from Go-Set (Australia’s first pop magazine) moving on to WEA Records in the 70’s in Sydney and London. There are wonderful stories involving some of the world’s most famous bands who toured Australia, including this one: </p>
<p>HANGING OUT WITH MY BUDDY BON SCOTT from 1968: </p>
<p>The Valentines arrived in Sydney from Perth, making big waves claiming “We’re better than the Zoot”. They also used the pink jump suits as a trademark look and with two lead singers they were very infectious. The effervescent larrikin Bon Scott and Vince Lovegrove were so entertaining, they amassed a great following in no time. How could anyone not love Bon? He and I became great mates and my girlfriends and I would often go to Newcastle for their gigs at Bus Stop Disco as part of their crew. Bon was such a sweetheart and wonderful support to me when I had my heart broken by a boyfriend who took off with a French bimbo. I will never forget his kind heart. We caught up again in London years later when I went to visit Fraternity who had won the Hoadley’s Battle of the Sounds. I have a photo somewhere of the boys lined up on the couch in front of a wall of empty Fosters beer cans. Aussie Aussie Aussie! </p>
<p>In 1974, I moved to Country Music Capital, Tamworth and one year later this happened: </p>
<p>Tamworth Town Hall was becoming a regular venue for touring bands. Our local music journalists with the Northern Daily Leader, Peter Cochrane and Greg McDonald let me know that AC/DC were coming to town. I was so excited at the possibility to see Bon again after our last meeting in London. AC/DC were touring their smash hit albums “High Voltage” and “TNT”. I was hoping to have a quiet coffee and catchup with him. I was breastfeeding around the clock at the time and mostly in an exhausted baby haze. After a few garbled and confusing messages, I knew it wasn’t going to happen. Bon wanted me to go to the show and drinks at the after show party. If there’s one thing I am saddened about, it was this! I never saw Bon again. </p>
<p>Watching from afar at how massive AC/DC became globally was inspirational. Bon passed away in 1980 at 33 years old. The official report of the Coroner concluded that Bon had died of “acute alcohol poisoning” and classified it as “death by misadventure”.</p>Clelia Adamstag:cleliaadams.com,2005:Post/69822282022-05-29T10:46:01+10:002024-02-20T16:29:51+11:00Cleo from Go-Set Magazine Rides Again! The day Robert Plant asked me out....from my upcoming memoir.<p>WARNER/ELEKTRA/ATLANTIC – WEA RECORDS</p>
<p>The world’s biggest band at the time was coming to tour Australia. Early 1972 saw Led Zeppelin arrive for a concert tour of Australia and New Zealand. The news press, media & TV channels were in a frenzy wanting to get interviews and photos of the band. Excitement was also building in the office when we heard the boys were coming to visit us in person. Robert Plant, John Bonham and Jimmy Page arrived and were so very charming and social with everyone. Robert prowled around the office like a lion king. He stopped point blank when he saw me at my desk typing something or other. In a flash he launched himself onto a chair in front of my desk and leaned over the top of my typewriter halting 2 inches (4cm) in front of my face. “Hello there” he purred “I really think you should come out with me tonight”. What could I say? We were all aware of his reputation, but diplomacy as a record company executive meant that I should say yes. However Jimmy Page then asked me if I knew where he could borrow an Australian Maton acoustic guitar as he’d heard they were very good. I contacted my former Go-Set journalist Greg Quill who was more than happy to lend Jimmy his Maton. Not wanting to go to their hotel on my own, my bestie Ronnie came with me to deliver the guitar to Jimmy. </p>
<p>We entered the hotel room only to be rushed at by John Bonham who picked me up and swinging me into the air a few times. Robert grabbed Ronnie on the boob and said “very nice”, at which she jumped back in shock. Jimmy Page apologized to her for their bad behavior. He was such a gentleman. </p>
<p>The concert at Sydney Showground was truly amazing and drew 28,000 fans, though some thought it was more like 38,000 as lots of people climbed the fence causing a stampede. Zeppelin played for 3 hours straight to the adoring audience. Ronnie and I took our seats in the top tier of the jam packed showground and the Lenard PA struggled to keep the sound above the noise of the screaming fans. </p>
<p>My son Daniel, a mad Zeppelin fan, hearing this story years later said “Dang Mum, do you mean there’s a chance Robert Plant could have been my father??” You gotta laugh! </p>Clelia Adamstag:cleliaadams.com,2005:Post/69708372022-05-14T10:34:01+10:002024-02-20T16:31:13+11:00Cleo from Go-Set Magazine rides again! A memoir of the Early Days of Australia's first pop magazine - Go-Set!<p>It's been quiet in my music world due to stepping sideways to write my memoir. Back in the Day, late 60's, I was Cleo from Go-Set, Australia's first pop music magazine. Here's a little story of how Keith Lamb from Hush used his ample charms to persuade me to go out with him....I was 21, he was only 19. </p>
<p>Did that make him my "toy boy" or am I "the cougar"? </p>
<p>As cheeky as he was cute, Keith Lamb waltzed into the office with his band members of the newly formed Hush, who came from Seven Hills, a way out west Sydney suburb. He was one of the funniest people I’d ever met, in fact if stand-up comedy had been a thing back then, he would have killed it! He could recite complete Pete & Dud (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore), the two Ronnies (Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker) and Spike Milligan skits word for word, keeping us all in stitches. He was a charming one! He kept asking me out, but I was hesitant as he was 2 years younger than me. Eventually I relented. Apparently as my girlfriends commented – we should all have a “toy boy” at least once in our lives. If only for a short time Keith kept me entertained. Here’s a letter asking me to go clothes shopping with him for a Hush photo shoot. </p>
<p>LOVE LETTER No 1, Vol 63 …copywright res R (from Keith Lamb/Hush 1971) </p>
<p>Dear Clebo, </p>
<p>Due to the fact I’ve had many complaints from people concerning my stage dress, as a result of these remarks I draw reference to a certain statement which was made many times by yourself personally, so therefore, would it be possible for you to accompany me into Sydney on Saturday morning so that we can make certain purchases of items of clothes (attire), Andy statement “what do you want a tyre for?” </p>
<p>Please, please, please, please come, as I have to cancel my piano lessons (how to avoid a falling piano whilst being strapped to the floor). </p>
<p>Truly yours, </p>
<p>Humbly mine, </p>
<p>My mistake, your fault </p>
<p>Em – Em – Oh I know, </p>
<p>Bye Bye </p>
<p>Keith </p>
<p>PS Can you please come shopping on Sat. morning …thank you.. </p>
<p>Hush’s star was on the rise and they soon became the hottest glam-rock act on the circuit and the rest is history. Keith eventually found the love of his life and I was invited to the wedding, which of course was a marvelous shindig and the party music incredible to say the least.</p>
<p> </p>

Her splendid voice in fact contributed in a decisive way to the success of thousands of beautiful songs working as a "session singer" in recording studios of Tamworth, Australia's Country Music Capital. As a soloist she then released high-level albums such as 2000's Bring It On, Heartbeat Highway 2004, Wildflowers 2008 and River Valley Dreaming 2011. Driven by My Sisters and Brothers, Clelia returns with a new album titled Fine Company. Hers is a very classic and traditional country music that characterizes all 11 songs on this CD. Clelia certainly looks toward Nashville but is still tied to those typically "Down Under" sounds that have made characters like Slim Dusty or Stan Coster immortal. Fine Company confirms all the class and artistic sensibility of this singe who, at a very young age left Italy with her family to distant Australia."</p>Clelia Adamstag:cleliaadams.com,2005:Post/63794522020-07-08T15:19:44+10:002024-01-24T05:19:29+11:00Speed of the Sound of Loneliness #9 on the Country Songs Chart this week!<p><span class="font_regular">Sincere thanks to Country Radio around Australia for supporting my tribute to the master songwriter John Prine who passed away recently from Covid 19.

Written by Cold Chisel’s Don Walker, this song embodies the two music worlds I’ve straddled in my long and illustrious career – the traditional world of Australian Balladeers and my Rock and Roll years at Go-Set Magazine and WEA Records both in Sydney & London. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Recovering from traumatic brain tumour surgery in 2018, music kept me sane and being unable to sing was the biggest challenge ever in my life. Again I heard Looking Forward, Looking Back and again it had a profound effect on my heart. The lyrics spoke to me as I reflected on my own life’s memories, my experiences throughout those very dark days and my hopes for a healthy future once again. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Out of the blue, Stuie French, my Producer now living in Nashville asked if I wanted to record a couple of tracks with Nashville musos, which included Willie Cantu on drums (Buck Owens band) and Dennis Crouch on bass. Camille and Sonny French added their magic on backup vocals. My dear friend Pixie Jenkins recorded the vocals and fiddle parts at my home. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Meeting the legendary writer Don Walker at a party recently, he informed me that as far as he was aware the song hadn’t been recorded since Slim’s version. I was aghast at my audacity recording such an iconic song. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Don gave me his nod of approval. That’s good enough for me. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_regular">Easter Greetings from the Farm! 2019 is flying fast and I'm happy to report great progress with my health over the past 12 months. I have been able to do small guest appearances at various festivals & clubs including Tamworth CMF and our local Uke Mullum nights and Open Mic Nights.</span></p>
<p>A milestone breakthrough this week as I sang for a full hour (no PA) to entertain the beautiful residents at our local nursing home. Now this may not seem like a very big deal to you, but for someone who was a "gig queen", doing 3 and 4 hour shows, 3 to 4 times a week for many years, this was a HUGE deal! Now I can finally move forward with confidence that my health won't me let down.</p>
<p>Thank you to all the country music radio presenters in Australia, UK, NZ and Europe who made my last release Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy an even bigger hit than the first time around 10 years ago. #3 on the Australian Country Tracks Chart and #3 on the International Top 40 Singles Chart in Europe.</p>
<p>Always, my heartfelt appreciation to my promotions team of Stephen Brady (CRS Australia) and Ross Allen (Hillcrest Canada) for their wisdom in re-releasing some of the biggest hits from my Classic Hits CD whilst in recovery. There will be a new release in May/June, this time the wonderful duet with Bill Chambers, the Louvin Bros' If I could Only Win Your Love from the Wildflowers album.</p>
<p>Wishing you and yours a very special time of Easter blessings & festivities with family and friends, and plenty of love and happiness to boot.</p>
<p>Ciao for now & take good care of each other.#fubraintumour</p>

She was finally diagnosed with a brain tumour, thankfully benign and operated on successfully in March 2018. </p>
<p>Clelia sincerely thanks the Australian and International country music community for keeping her music alive on the airwaves with Back In Baby's Arms, a re-release from 2005 on her new CLASSIC HITS CD, a charting hit all over again in Australia and Europe in 2018. </p>
<p>As Clelia recovers her health and voice, she has decided to re-release one of her favourite songs of all time, Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy, also taken from her CLASSIC HITS CD, which has 22 of her hits songs from the past 17 years. It was a massive international hit for Clelia in 2010, reaching #2 on the ECMA chart in Europe, #10 on Country Tracks chart, & #2 on Hot FM Mildura chart. </p>
<p>The song has an interesting history. Recorded by Lefty Frizzell in the 60's, Jonathan Edwards in the 70's and George Strait in the 80s. It was not a hit for any of them. Songwriter Darryl Staedtler contacted Clelia at the time to thank her for finally making Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy a hit for him, and to compliment her on her vocals, saying "If you'd been around in the 60's, you'd have given Loretta Lyn a run for her money".

<p>Clelia sincerely thanks country radio presenters and media for their outstanding support of her music. She is hopeful to return to live performances in 2018.</p>
<p>Over the years, Clelia has developed a penchant for updating classic country songs and making them her own, and they became hits all over again. The idea of re-making Somewhere In The Middle (written by Kieran Kane) was born in the mid 90's when she saw Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch live in Tamworth on their first Australian tour. Two voices, two guitars, they rocked the house.</p>
<p>Producer Stuart French shared Clelia's vision to turn an acoustic song into a rockin', country blues and with the A Team, took the song to a whole new level of country grooviness and finesse. Michel Rose on pedal steel, Chris Haigh on bass, Brad Bergen on drums, Bill Risby on piano and her brother Albert Calvo on guitar, as well as Clelia's son Daniel Adams, a singer/songwriter/guitarist in his own right, joins his mum on the bluesy backup vocals honours.</p>

Clelia has developed an authentic sound which wouldn't be out of place if she toured alongside Elizabeth Cook or Todd Snider. This record should see her gaining plaudits from around the world.
