Confessions of a Funeral Singer

 

Presented by Leah Cotterell and Narelle McCoy

From the soulful and sublime, to the surprising and silly, “Confessions of a Funeral Singer” is a warm-hearted celebration of the whole glorious hodgepodge of funeral music in Australia today.

Funeral singers and raconteurs, Leah and Narelle have seen it all, singing folk songs at Australian-Irish wakes, swampy gospel at Buddhist services, rock ballads in Protestant chapels, Baptist hymns in Catholic churches, and an impromptu graveside Danny Boy when Spotify failed. In ”Confessions of a Funeral Singer” Leah and Narelle will take you on a musical journey through the funeral singer’s catalogue accompanied by the wonderful guitar of Jamie Clark.
