Ben Francis. Adelaide Town Hall. 7 Dec 2025
It is impossible not to rave about this group.
The 60 Four is/was/will be one of the star turns of this country.
Its Christmas Proms special had the crowds massed and jammed really early at the Adelaide Town Hall. Come on down every Baby Boomer in town.
And the four Adelaide boys, fresh home from intensive touring—five countries and several states in the last month, cruise ships, concerts, you name it—gave the crowds just what they craved. It was yet another five-star, high-energy two hours of good spirit. Christmas spirit in this case. They jazzed up all manner of Christmas songs but scratched the old fans’ itch with some Frankie Valli and Beachboys, even Beatles old hits. And the crowd tapped feet, clapped along and whooped for more.
The secret to The 60 Four’s ever-growing popularity is not just pure talent but, significantly, consistency of high discipline. Indeed, these one-time school mates have honed their act with immense professional discipline. They are rehearsed to perfection.
Their manager is Ben Francis, of the wild falsetto, and he has had the business nous to make the boys into hot property.
And, the energy never lets up. They give, give, give. They work, work, work. They just get better, better, best.
It is not just the vocals of Jack Conroy, Lachlan Williams, Finnigen Green and Ben Francis but also it is the slick choreography and their flawless co-ordination as a group.
They really know how to “sell” a song. And, how to present as a quartet while also delivering an endearing sense of who is who. Together in identical stage outfits they are “the four” but through solos and chats, they are likeable individuals and one feels their friendship. Cheeky, fun asides pass between them. A warm intimacy is conveyed.
Of course, their demographic is interesting. Their fan base is grey-haired. The young in the audience were largely grandchildren. And, how deliciously The 60 Four merch reflects their understanding of this. Fabulous shirts may have flown off the merch table, but not as fast as the tea towels. Yes, tea towels are star souvenirs and way more useful than t-shirts when you think about it. Good quality, too. We bought one of everything. Oh, and the Christmas special was 2026 calendars.
Ben Francis has created a brand and these spectaculars of The 60 Four are not the only goodie on the menu. His Elton John tribute show was a wow. There are more fan thrills to come on the entrepreneurial front.
He announced their Fringe program, too, once more, spreading the cheer around from Fringe core in the parklands to the Shedley and Hopgood.
Oh, and one more thing.
The boys are all grown up. They are men now. a harmony of wonderful, brilliant, dazzling men.
