Femininity can be overlooked easily. In an attempt to bring a voice to a minority, “BIMBO” tells the story of what it’s like being a woman experiencing life through songs of hope, lust, love, anger, and pain. “BIMBO” explores themes of feminism and female sexuality, what it’s like to be queer and have a sense of dread over not being so-called “pure”. This is the collective story of womankind.
Performed by The LA Dreaming band, featuring The Beggars Stuart Day – Guitar and Vocal, Renee Donaghey – Guitar and Vocal, Quinton Dunne – Bass and Vocal plus Kathie Renner – Keys, Guitar and Vocal, Steve Todd – Drums and Percussion.

In the 1970’s there was one woman with the Midas touch in music. The most versatile vocalist of the modern era she had a lot of friends like Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt and a couple of session musicians who later became The Eagles. All great artists who wrote a lot of great music. Linda Ronstadt spun their tunes into gold. She made them hits.

Choir Cecilia is a community choir based in Mount Barker. The Choir has been delighting audiences in Mount Barker and Victor Harbor for more than a quarter of a century with an eclectic mix of songs, and is bringing this musical entertainment to Murray Bridge for the first time. In another first, the senior choir from Unity College Murray Bridge will be joining Choir Cecilia as guest artists for this concert. A quartet of singers from the Choir will also perform.
The program chosen for this concert includes classical pieces by G F Handel, G Faure, and E Humperdinck; Spirituals; and traditional songs from as far back as the 16th century. Also it has become traditional for the musical director, Peter Webb OAM, to open the concert with a solo didgeridoo performance.
Peter has led Choir Cecilia for 25 years, whilst at the same time being the conductor of the Unley Symphony Orchestra. He has spent a lifetime as a musical performer and educator, and was awarded the OAM for this service. Peter has composed choral arrangements of many songs for the Choir to perform, including several for this concert. Sadly he will be retiring from the Choir after the second performance in Mount Barker on 3 July.
