Robbie Williams fans, get ready—Australia’s top tribute act is heading back to the Whitsundays. Louie Lee Feltrin is set to perform his crowd-pleasing show at the Airlie Beach Hotel for the sixth time, and he couldn’t be happier to return.
“I love the venue. I love the people. I love the energy," he said.
"Everyone's in a good mood, there's a sunny disposition and everyone's happy.”
Coming from Melbourne, Louie joked that his own mood lifts just stepping off the plane. He said in Victoria the weather is freezing, people are miserable and stepping into the Airlie Beach Hotel will definitely improve his mood.
Louie’s path to tribute fame began nearly two decades ago after appearing on a Channel Nine show. He said he used to perform at nightclubs or events and somebody from Channel Nine told him he looked like Robbie Williams and asked if he would like to be on the show.
After knocking the request back a handful of times, Louie finally said yes and he had a ball.
It was the public response that set his career in motion. “I got a lot of enquiries afterwards, people were wanting to book me for various charity events and functions. Everything grew from that.”
As Robbie's music has changed, the show has changed over time too and Louie says he’s grown to love Robbie’s music deeply.
“I've loved the way he's grown over the years as a songwriter and as a musician," Louie added.
"I get to travel a bit, which is great, I get to come to Airlie, it's fantastic.”
Fans can expect some surprises in the setlist. During the last performance at Airlie Beach Hotel, Louie noted that Robbie's swing music went down extremely well.
During this upcoming performance Louie will be performing more swing and he can't wait.
“That's my background, I grew up in musical theatre and singing jazz. So for me, it's nice to go back and do what I really love doing.”
Robbie has also released new songs and Louie is hoping everybody knows them.
Of course, Angels will be in the mix.
“I love doing that, because you can see everyone's reaction to it. Angels resonates with people from all ages," said Louie.
"It's a song that touches a lot of people on different levels."
His final word to the fans? “Just come down, say, G'day, and enjoy the show."
"I can't wait to get back there, sing some of the new stuff, show off the new outfits and fingers crossed people will enjoy it.”
