Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is where you can catch me singing next!
It's a great event, in a hip venue filled with fantastic music and great people. There is simply no better way to spend a Sunday night. And on top of it it's practically free!
Don't miss it. Come and join us... and if you have a spare minute, feel free to pass this email around to your contact list. I would appreciate that very much. Merci d'avance! I hope this message finds you well...
For those of you who don't know me well, you can find a short biography below in this email.
It's
1919 and alcohol has been made illegal.
PROHIBITION is in effect and the American nation
is shaking with the DTs. By 1924 the Prohibition
Bureau estimates
that Americans are making
over 700,000,000 gallons of homebrew every year.
Thus is born the SPEAK EASY; underground illegal
drinking hovels, equipped with gambling, buxom
broads and bad ass jazz.
Supporting such an important backlash against suppressing civil liberties to
drink freely and speak easy, December 2003 saw Twenty on Stafford Productions
introduce SPEAK EASY at the
Tongue and Groove.
With over 35 individual performers from such bands as Gorgonzola
(bless their souls), Afro Dizzi Act, Hot Rubber
Glove and Pty Ltd, the 11 hours of entertainment saw
raucous behaviour and extensive 20's style dress from a full house of patrons.
Hips were flowin' as free as the booze...
The second Speak Easy at the Tongue and Groove was also massive and saw it being shutdown prematurely by the kind folk from the alcohol licensing committee. PROHIBITION was in effect again! But shudder no longer gentle reader, SPEAK EASY is back, and it's bigger than ever.
Sidle to SPEAK
EASY at THE ZOO on 7th March
and catch 35 of Brisbane's best musicians creating completely
improvised Jazz (and etc.) tunes to a busting crowd of 20's stylin' cats.
Dress 1920's style for a free Champagne, take advantage of free pool
all night, play mock Blackjack with original Speak Easy money and of course
shake that thing like it's going out of fashion.
STARTS at 4PM and ENDS 2AM.
The Zoo, Ann St, Fortitude Valley - Brisbane
Pauline
Maudy was born in Paris, France, on the 2nd of June 1982 of a French
mother and Spanish-Moroccan-French father.
After travelling extensively all around the world searching for a new home,
she landed in Australia in 1995, where she completed a Drama degree at QUT.
She works in film, theatre, events coordinating, but also as a language teacher
and as a performer.
She has been singing since she could talk. In the past she has sung in a variety
of genres, but she finds the most pleasure in funk and jazz improvisation.
In her singing, Pauline strives to share her culture (she sings in her mother-tongue
as well as in English), her performance style, her view of the world and her
passion for life.
