SUMMARY:Clare Bowditch - What Was Left - Regional Tour
DESCRIPTION:Clare Bowditch – What Was Left – Regional Tour \nTwenty years ago\, Melbourne’s indie-darling\, a young Clare Bowditch surprised even her own parents by scooping the coveted ‘Best Female Artist ARIA’ thanks to her breakthrough album ‘What Was Left’. \nRecorded in the back shed with her then boyfriend\, producer and drummer Marty Brown just one year after they welcomed their first child\, ‘What Was Left’ stands as an extraordinarily anomaly; a stunningly instrumented\, profoundly intimate\, cheeky\, rebellious\, heart-breaking\, uplifting\, and now uniquely beloved time-capsule of emotions and topics the majority of pop songs did their darndest to avoid\, like grief and motherhood. Full of longing and passion\, encouragement and cynicism\, \nIn late 2025\, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the seminal work that first brought the name Clare Bowditch into our orbit\, join her for a run of regional shows. \nThis is your perfect chance to be up-close and in person with one of Australias most entertaining story-tellers\, to feel the warmth\, hear the untold stories\, and re-experience the songs from ‘What Was Left’. It will also be your first chance in a long time to hear Clare’s new and yet to be released work\, which some believe to be ‘her finest yet’ \nTo mark this special occasion\, ‘What Was Left’ will also be available for the very first time ever on Vinyl. \nFeaturing the legendary artwork of Kat MacLeod\, on beautiful white vinyl with full lyrics\, and the limited edition ep “Loose Acoustic One Takes” that was a bonus disk with the initial CD release. \nThe success of ‘What Was Left’ marked the beginning of what has been Clare’s genuinely anomalous twenty year career as an artist and story-teller spanning acting\, broadcasting\, community advocacy and the penning of a best-selling memoir. Mostly\, she says\, she was just raising kids and pets and trying not to ‘fuck it up’. You can hear all about it when you come to the shows.

SUMMARY:Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier present Songs You Can Trust
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier\npresent\n‘Songs You Can Trust’ \nIn a world where misinformation\, disinformation and outright falsehood are abundant\, Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier are offering a rare glimpse of unvarnished truth. \nAs masters of musical form for 4 decades\, endurance has proven the verity of their songs. Age has truly burnished them\, not dimmed them. \nAsked to comment Conway & Zygier assured us that the only thing they will be presenting are Songs You Can Trust. They remarked in perfect unison\, “Be assured\, truth can be confronting but ultimately truth will set you free. Rock on!” \nThere is not much you can say about the creative output of Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier that hasn’t already been said: \nBlessed with an angelic voice\, deft at lyrical wordplay and armed with a seemingly inexhaustive melody well\, Conway – and partner Zygier – create songs which become best friends for life. Daily Telegraph \nIf Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen delivered an album with songs as good as these\, the critical response would be rapturous. Conway and Zygier deserve no less.’ Courier Mail \n‘Some of the most engaging songs I’ve ever heard from Deborah & Willy. Some of the music makes the little hairs on my neck and arms stand at attention. That doesn’t happen often. ‘ Bill Riner\, Network\, Music Programmer\, ABC \n“Conway and Zygier seem to have enveloped an intimate\, down-home\, folk-blues sound that’s deeply relatable. The songs tend to wrap around you\, like a favourite throw\, or big\, old jumper does\, as you curl-up on the couch with your favourite melancholic thoughts.” J-Wire \n“If there was ever an Australian act that could be said to have maintained professional integrity alongside lyrical honesty in the wake of mainstream commercial popularity\, Deborah Conway is easily that artist.” Faster Louder

SUMMARY:Abby Dobson - The Beautiful Voice Of Leonardo's Bride
DESCRIPTION:Abby will perform an intimate show of her original songs spanning her career in Leonardo’s Bride\, as a lauded solo artist and also her work in the faux-french band\, Baby et Lulu. \n“Abby Dobson is blessed with one of the most distinctive voices in Australian music — a smoky\, intrinsically romantic instrument that she’s used to bewitch audiences over the years” – The Age\, Melbourne \n“A mega-watt powerful voice which conjures melancholy\, romance and sex\, seemingly out of the ether” – The Independent\, England \n“This is Dobson’s stage\, Dobson’s show.. For the audience\, the end of each song is a chance to finally exhale\, for in a show as compelling as Dobson’s\, the moments where breathing comes easily are few and far between. “ – Australian Stage & Screen \n“Abby Dobson’s curiously arousing sulk sinks into slow-release melodies like a body into a scented bath” – Rolling Stone \n“Abby Dobson’s remarkable singing\, both the sound and the mesmerising style of her delivery\, is the key intoxicant\, but one with a delayed-action effect – only rarely does she really let rip and belt it out\, yet the layers of phrasing and feeling are compacted in her voice to a recurrently spine-tingling depth; imagine some half-candied\, half-blistering blend between Marianne Faithfull\, Shirley Manson\, Edie Brickell and a female Feargal Sharkey…. Dobson has unmistakeable star quality” – The Scotsman

SUMMARY:Paco Lara Duende Flamenco Show
DESCRIPTION:Passionate Spanish flamenco guitarist\, Paco Lara with a distinguished career in Europe and Australia of more than 30 years touring internationally alongside some of the greatest artists and maestro legends of flamenco in Spain\, presents a very special and intimate afternoon of authentic flamenco at Avoca Beach Theatre. A show featuring a fusion of music\, song and flamenco dance performed by Lara and his talented ensemble. \nInterpretations of themes from his latest album Duende and his highly successful album\, the Andalusian Guitar\, including some of the greatest guitar classics of all time will be performed by Lara with the characteristic and unmistakable sound (“toque”) of Jerez (Spain). \nPaco Lara is considered one of the best flamenco guitarists from his generation. In 2017 he migrated to NSW from Jerez\, the heartland of flamenco in Spain\, and now his style\, halfway between traditional and contemporary flamenco\, is contributing to an increased popularity and understanding of the genre in Australia. \nWith his recent successes at the Sydney Opera House and at Adelaide Guitar Festival (2021 and 2023) and his national album tours in 2022 and 2023\, he has proved his flamenco guitar mastery. \nRecognised as the most prominent flamenco guitarist living in Australia\, Paco Lara and his troupe is a world class musical and cultural experience not to be missed! \n“Magnificently entertaining. Such musicians are rare in this country.” – City News \nHe moved from Jerez\, in Andalusia\, to Sydney in 2017 and has established\, himself as an ambassador for Flamenco here in Australia.”- Broadway World \n“Flamenco is such a powerful form of music\, and especially featuring the guitar\, so it’s a real treat to be able to witness one of the best flamenco guitarists in the entire world when Paco Lara comes to town”. – Glam Adelaide \n“Paco Lara: If it’s not romantic\, it’s not possible.”- MBA Magazine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ \n” The music\, beyond being exceptionally well played\, is always pretty and eminently\, approachable – a quality compounded by the choice of repertoire. -SMH \nFeaturing Special Guest Flamenco Dancer\, Deya Miranda Giner and Aria nominated\, Byron Mark on percussion and piano.
