I AM WOMAN
CABARET
Cabaret at Riverlinks: Join award-winning cabaret powerhouses Michaela Burger and Libby O'Donovan, in a rollicking, raucous celebration of songs and stories from 1960s Australia.
On a hot summer's day in 1965, Merle Thornton and Rosalie Bogner walked into the public bar of the Regatta Hotel in Brisbane, calmly chained themselves to the bar rail, and ordered a beer. What happened next would change the course of Australian history - and a little less obviously - the course of music in Australia for women, forever.
Hear the likes of Lynne Roadknight, Wendy Saddington and Alison McCallum, in an uplifting and nostalgic hour that pays homage to the women who blazed the trails for generations to come.
Throughout history, heart and hilarity, they bring these incredible women - and their music - out of the sidelines and into their rightful places in Aussie music history!
