Anywhere Festival, The Ladysinger's Record Parlour, Vol 2
Winner of the 2024 Anywhere Festival Award for Music, Anje West returns to make people sigh “Ooooh, this song. I forgot how much I love this song!” And “I’ve never heard of this song”. Leaving her regular band behind, (again!), Anje’s setting up in her lounge, transforming it once more into a parlour of musical reminiscing; her life’s soundtrack playing out with warmth, heart and humour. Volume two’s mix-tape wanders through the nostalgic ’70s, taking a detour into ’80s and ’90s rock and soul. Music from George Harrison, Tears For Fears and Rickie Lee Jones feature, along with soulful delights and other surprises. Vol.1 sold out in a heartbeat. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness an incredible ensemble weaving musical magic in a lounge room. It’s pretty epic. About Volume One: “This joyful show was one of the warmest and most engaging I have been to in some time” (Review, Creative Futures) “What a night. You’re in for something very, very special and moving” “Absolutely brilliant- wonderful songs, superb performances” “Heart and warmth. Positivity and nostalgia” “Thank you for an incredible evening. So entertaining!” Location: The performances take place in a private home in Fairfield. The actual address is supplied on purchase of your ticket.
She Works Hard For (No) Money
Ever wonder how the dishwasher magically loads itself? Or how the farewell card appears at exactly the right time when someone retires? Welcome to the world of She Works Hard For (No) Money — a black comedy that dives headfirst into the chaotic circus of unpaid labour. From “I don’t know where the towels are kept!” to “Just tell me what to do!”, this show uncovers the comedy and tragedy of weaponised incompetence — the art of pretending not to know, so you don’t have to do the boring stuff. And we’re not naming names, but if the shoe fits (and he can find it), maybe that man in your life needs a wake-up call. Written by Samantha Hill, this hilariously infuriating comedy of labours will be transplanted into a real office space for the Anywhere Festival. It’ll be just like being at work: you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll stuff yourself with cake… This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council. For more information, please visit the Anywhere Festival website.
