You're the Voice — A Night of Power Ballads

Overview

At The Foundry on Saturday, September 29, Brisbanites aren't going to sit in silence. They're not going to stand or dance in silence, either. Instead, everyone will be following in the footsteps of Aussie music legend John Farnham and letting their voices ring out. We're all someone's daughters or sons, after all.

From 9pm, the Wickham Street venue is dedicating the evening to power ballads — and while karaoke isn't on the agenda, you just know that everyone in attendance will sing along. That's what happens 'You're the Voice' starts cranking through the stereo, or Daryl Braithwaite's 'Horses', or anything by Celine Dion or Meatloaf. Or Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', Foreigner's 'I Want to Know What Love Is' or Starship's 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now'.

We could keep listing artists and tracks, but you get the picture. Unsurprisingly, the night will have a very 70s, 80s and 90s feel. Entry is free, and the first ten people through the door will receive a gift — other than the gift of power ballads, that is.
