TRANSCRIPT

Media Contact – Agency North Connect

In the winter of 2012, singer songwriter Wendy Matthews went into the Stuart Piano Factory in Newcastle with Brendan St Ledger playing piano and Greg Royal, standup bass.

The trio emerged after two days with an EP of live recordings and realized they had captured a long loved but never delved into side of Wendy’s music history.

The circumstances they recorded in allows for an intimate and introspective translation of some classic and not so classic Billie Holiday songs, an iconic woman whose soul and music has been long admired.

In the centenary year since her passing, this is an evening of some classic songs and virtuoso musicians, speckled with some of Wendy’s iconic songs reworked. An evening that will make you want to hold hands on the way home.

Billie & Me is presented by Queensland Music Festival, Brisbane City Council and Catalyst PR. ENDS
