On a hot summer’s day in 1965, Merle Thornton and Rosalie Bogner walked into the public bar of the Regatta Hotel in Brisbane, calmly chained themselves to the bar rail, and ordered a beer in order to protest the exclusion of serving women in pubs. What happened next would change the course of Australian history – and a little less obviously – the course of music in Australia for women, forever. Join award-winning cabaret performers Amelia Ryan and Libby O’Donovan in a rollicking, raucous celebration of songs and stories from 1960s Australia. Hear the likes of Lynne Randell, Little Patti, Judy Stone, Marcie Jones, Margret Roadknight, Wendy Saddington, and Alison McCallum, in a nostalgic hour that pays homage to the women who blazed the trails for generations to come. Through history, heart, and hilarity, they bring these incredible women – and their music – out of the sidelines, and into their rightful place in Aussie music history. Directed by Elena Carapetis with musical direction by Mark Ferguson, it is on at the B (Queanbeyan Bicentennial Hall) on Friday, September 8, 2023 at 11am and 8pm. See: theq.net.au
