Rick performed different tunes, for example, "At whatever point You Need Somebody", "She Wants to Dance With Me", "Move" and "Blessed messengers on my Side". 

Rick talked to the group in the middle of melodies and was entirely amiable with his stage presence. The sun was all the while radiating down on the stage and the group and Rick said at a certain point "We're in a winery and I don't have a glass of wine! Would someone be able to get me a wine"? When Rick got his wine, he raised his glass and stated, "Welcome to Australia, presently we're talking!". He took a taste from his glass and he shouted "goodness that is acceptable! Gigs off, see you later" as he claimed to stroll off the stage. He did a turnaround and shouted, "that is entirely damn acceptable really".

Rick at that point had another talk to the group disclosing to everybody when he was more youthful he used to get a kick out of the chance to record tunes off the television, especially melodies he hadn't heard previously so he could figure out how to play them or tunes he was enlivened by. He recounted an account of one such melody he recorded which was an INXS tune and said to the group "with all quietude and love he might want to play an INXS tune" and the band at that point began playing "New Sensation". It was fitting that his back up artists were wearing INXS shirts which being down under was a decent touch to his set. 

The opportunity at that point desired the melody everybody was sitting tight for. Indeed, even before he was prepared to play it, during the set the group was getting out "Never Going to Give You Up". He advised the group he would not like to top too soon he despite everything had a few tunes left in him. When the tune began, everyone in the group was on their feet and moving and chiming into the 80's notorious hit that Rick is notable for. Rick and his band put on a stunning set and the group was on such a high. It was surely going to be a hard set to top! 

The opportunity at that point sought the last demonstration. The main event. The sun had at long last set and it was sunset when A-Ha hit the stage. A light presentation fired up in front of an audience and the band left onto the stage. When all individuals were at their instruments the band began to play, and they hopped straight into "Take on Me" which shocked everybody in the group! There were shouts of pleasure yet much discussing "I can't accept they're beginning with that one!". Regardless of the group despite everything cherished each moment of the famous melody being performed. 

The band at that point kept on playing the aggregate of their introduction collection from 1985 "Chasing High and Low" after the track posting of the collection which incorporates tunes "Line of reasoning", "Chasing High and Low", "Living a Boy's Adventure Tale", and "Dream Me Alive". 

When the melodies of the collection were done Magne Furuholmen then declared to the group "That is the finish of 1985. You would all be able to get your telephones out". He urged everybody to get their telephones out and requested to see your lights. The group at that point put their lights on and held up their telephones while the band fired up the following tune "Crying in the Rain" while the group influenced their arms noticeable all around with their telephones. 

There was a great light showcase in front of an audience during the melodies of splendid orange, yellow, green, and blue flooding the stage. During the tune "I've been losing you" there was an astounding surge of orange lights in front of an audience illuminating the stage and lights from behind the drums and guitars making stunning hued outlines. This style of lighting proceeded into the melody "Remain on These Roads". 

It was, at last, an ideal opportunity for the folks t head off stage and bid farewell, yet the group realized it wasn't farewell. They supported and shouted more and the folks at that point advanced back in front of an audience and expressed gratitude toward everybody for being there and performed "Living Daylights" for their last tune. 

It was a huge day of diversion with devotees of both A-Ha and Rick Astley leaving the winery extremely cheerful. Leaving the doors there was singing from pockets of the horde of versions of "Take on Me" and "Never Gonna Give You Up" making an ideal mix of 80's concordance ringing during that time air to see everybody out on a high.
