This Saturday friends!
Come listen to us paying tribute to three artists who’ve massively influenced us, and been a huge inspiration in the evolution of music today.

I feel so grateful to be working with these beautiful people.
Anna-Lena Veale love you girl x
Nat Vegas magnificent musician
Dean Kelley grounded and fun
Pete McManus absolute Joy
Geo Heathcote heavy sax player & knows his wines 🥰
Robert Williams YOU HAVE TO HEAR his trumpet playing
Mario Marino what an OMG revelation filling in for our utterly beloved Julian Perrotta (who incidentally is playing the Gov - support for British India ❤️

On a personal note, this gig is massively important to me as I get to sing an hour of Aretha Franklin’s songs. This woman had a magical impact on me from when I was a little girl. Believe it or not I was painfully she as a kidster. I’d play Aretha on my cassette player and SING my tiny heart out, sometimes crying my heart out because something about her voice affected my soul.
Then, the greatest dream of my life as a singer, I got to witness Aretha Franklin live while I was living in Los Angeles. A privilege I will never ever forget. Aretha was gifted from God above. I know that.
You know, sometimes you don’t consider yourself religious and then something happens and you KNOW there is a God. When I say and watched and heard Aretha, I know she was singing as an instrument of God.

You will not ever usually hear me talking like this. And yet, there you have it.

So this Saturday I will do my heart, soul and vocal best to let my emotions come out like my darling friend Trace has invited me to do during a time recently when my voice was shut down for numerous reasons.
I know I could never be such a powerhouse of a human as Aretha was. I just want to be present, with my dear musician peers and friends. And share a tiny bit of what Aretha represented to the world of music, and the world in general. And I e got to be humble because it’s a massive task to sing her songs. Period.
Anyhoo.
This Saturday.
18th May.
Navy Club.
All are welcome.
Phone beautiful Sharen 0403-300-995 to pre-book a table.
Bring a snack platter or whatever food from your fave takeout. Sit back and enjoy. Or get up and dance.
See you there ❤️🎶
