The Queensland Cabaret Festival has been running the past couple of weeks and on Saturday night I was on assignment for Scenestr to attend the show Soldier’s Wife at the Brisbane Powerhouse.
I was excited to see the show, as stories about veterans and their families touches me. You can read more about my thoughts at http://scenestr.com.au/news/music/soldier-s-wife-queensland-cabaret-festival-review-20170612
While I feel some songs engaged me more fully than others they were all written with big hearts, the performances were world class and in the small intimate theatre where the show was performed the crowd was visibly moved throughout. I remain extremely grateful for these opportunities to see such shows and review them for such a great publication. Any love you can show by clicking on the review and liking and/or commenting is appreciated.
Produced by Eyeball Media Enterprises Scenestr. is an online national magazine with local offices around Australia. With over twenty years of publishing history they’ve excelled at moving into the digital realm but they remain at heart from the streets. They also publish Scene magazine in print every month focussed mostly on music gigs, festivals, stand-up comics, fashion and interviews with local and international bands. If you’re into music they’re a great read but they do cover all of the arts.

That was a good review of an unusual show, Lloyd. Over here, we have ‘Soldiers Wives’ choirs, and they are very popular.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you Pete, I am glad you liked it. Are the soldier’s wives choirs actually full of soldiers wives singing? That sounds like it could be very powerful.
Yes they are all soldiers’ wives, formed when the men were away in Afghanistan or elsewhere. Here’s a link.

Thanks for sharing the link Pete. What a great organisation.
It has taken off from one choir, to become a real institution.
There are some of their performances on You Tube too.
