The voice of Stevie Nicks has been a part of many home music collections for decades. Whether it be one of her solo albums or the days with Fleetwood Mac, Stevie has one of the most recognisable voices in the business.

She has visited Australia so many times she has trouble providing an exact count but she definitely knows she loves the place. Well Stevie is back and this time she is touring with Dave Stewart who worked closely with her on her new album 'In Your Dreams.'

Stevie took time out for a chat with Eoin Cameron on the breakfast program discussing her recent work, the roller-coaster ride with Fleetwood Mac and the distinctive look she has stuck with during her career.

Lindsey Buckingham's Final Show Reviewed by Real Rock News

FINAL U.S. SEEDS WE SOW TOUR DATE 

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM - TUSLA 

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino - November 14, 2011

Review by Scott Smith

In 10 seconds, most rock guitarists would lose a six-string shoot-out against Lindsey Buckingham.

The guitarist, singer and songwriter with Fleetwood Mac is an artistic monster on the stage, and as brilliant as his finger-picking rhythm patterns and searing lead breaks are on the Mac’s “Rumours” and “Tusk” albums and on his studio work, it’s seeing and hearing the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s nimble fingers and thumbs in person that truly is an astounding experience.

Buckingham and his solo band showed no hints of fatigue or road burnout when they played their final U.S. date of Buckingham’s Seeds We Sow Tour at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Joint on Nov. 14, 2011, near Tulsa, Okla. At age 62, Buckingham still fires off guitar parts to retain his title in the world’s Top Three Living Guitarists Club.

Interviewing rock legend Stevie Nicks was a dream come true, writes Amber Petty

GETTING to Interview rock legend Stevie Nicks was a dream come true, writes Amber Petty.

INTERVIEWING famous people can sometimes be a double-edged sword because, in the case of the ones who you've always loved and adored, when your big moment arrives, the bubble can burst.

Then you're left with the uncomfortable realisation that they're not quite as nice as you'd hoped - or not during your moment anyway.

So when I was asked recently if I'd like to interview Stevie Nicks, my "yes!" came almost as an out-of-body experience - it was loud, direct and I'm not sure my lips even moved. To put it mildly, I love her.

Oh, where to start? What was she like as a young woman? Before the fame and before the pressure. A lifetime of questions with a 15-minute interview window.

She began by her telling me that back in the '70s she had read a book called Forever Amber and had thought if she'd had a daughter she would call her Amber.

Was I having a candid camera moment here or was this really Stevie Nicks talking about my name? I may possibly combust.
