Women in Voice 2016

Overview

If chanteuses set your music-loving heart a-flutter, then Women in Voice is your kind of thing. You probably already know this. Over more than two decades, the celebration of female artists has become a Brisbane institution.

Since starting out in a West End cafe back in 1993 and then journeying through a number of venues around the city and beyond, Women in Voice has become one of the nation's longest running performances. Showcasing talented lady vocalists in an up-front, uncomplicated manner, the show has featured the likes of Chrissie Amphlett, Deborah Conway, Jenny Morris, Katie Noonan and Kate Miller-Heidke on the bill at some point.

As always, the latest iteration of Women in Voice boasts quite the lineup — newcomers and experienced veterans alike. From the former camp, prepare your ears for the award-winning Sahara Beck, Little Black Dress Creatives' Alicia Cush and emcee Judy Hainsworth from #FirstWorldWhiteGirls. And in the latter, Leah Cotterell and Alison St Ledger know the drill, and have your evening of fabulous cabaret well and truly covered.
