Outrageously Divine - Bette & The Harlettes
A tribute to the legendary Bette Midler, Outrageously Divine captures the humour, the emotion and the talent of the Divine Miss M. The show contains many of the best-loved songs from every phase of Bette Midler's award-winning career. Spanning more than thirty years of music, the show rolls from tear-jerking ballads like 'The wind beneath my wings' to the up-tempo beat of 'Boogie woogie bugle boy'.

Paul Kelly
From very early on in his career, Paul Kelly has been recognised as one of the most significant singer/songwriters in the country. Hopeful songs. Angry songs. Songs of love: lost, found, lusted after, hoped for. Songs of regret. Bluegrass songs. A song based on lines from the Old Testament. Howling rock songs. One about Ned Kelly that could have been written 100 years ago. An instrumental surf song. One about the greatest Australian bowler of them all, to go with the one about the greatest cricketer of them all. Songs to play by the campfire, to dance to at parties. Songs to play at births, weddings, funerals, and all the times between. It's all there in the songs of Paul Kelly.
