Hello Rootschatters,
I am trying to track down a copy of a photo.
In 1974, Nana Mouskouri performed 3 Concerts at the Festival Hall in Melbourne.
On Friday 5th July 1974, I was attending the concert with my Daughters, one of them was asked to present a bouquet of flowers to Nana Mouskouri, (this is the photo I am hoping to find).
I was wondering if anyone may have taken any photos at this concert.
Or may know of who the Promoters were.
If you are able to help, Please DO NOT post the photo online, instead Please send a Personal Message to me, then we can make arrangements.
Thanking you,
Brian H.

Can't help with a photo, but there is this concert program from June 1974 ( at the Apollo Stadium, Richmond) which notes "Presented by Pat Condon on behalf of Paradine Paterson". Presumably it would have been the same promoter for all her Australian concerts on this tour?

I'd be inclined to contact the Victoria State Library, you know the date etc they might be happy enough to have a look at any newspapers for then and see if the photo was published or they might have something on her tour in Melbourne.

Dear Brian,
I have just come across your message. I may have a photo for you. I was the other little girl way back in 1974 who presented Nana with her bunch of flowers. The only reason I have a very bad photo is that the concert was shown on TV a few months later and my father had the presence of mind to take photos of the TV! It was certainly one of life's highlights!
If I'm right, your daughter may have presented Nana with a long sheath of lilies? Was it at Festival Hall?
Let me know and I will try to get some half decent copies to you.

Hello Fionahili and welcome to RootsChat.
Brian hasn't been on line here since July 2020, hopefully he still has the same email address and will receive notification of your post. I'm sure he will be very very happy to hear from you.

Hello Fionahili,
Welcome to 'RootsChat'.
Thank you for your most welcome Message.
Yes, it was at Festival Hall in Melbourne, on Friday 5th July 1974.
I would be very pleased to get a copy of these photos.
Please DO NOT post the photos online (in this Topic), instead Please send a 'Personal Message' to me, then we can make arrangements.
I believe you have to Post 3-Messages, before you can access 'Personal Messages'.
I will send you a 'Personal Message', then we can take it from there.
Thanking You,
