Graveyard

Whistling Past the Graveyard

 

Presented by Leah Cotterell and Narelle McCoy

Together we can stare down the final mystery with a song on our lips!

Two talented raconteurs will share fascinating reflections about funerals and the end of life.

 In Whistling Past the Graveyard, Leah Cotterell and Narelle McCoy draw from their written memoirs and academic research to look at the best and worst of funerals, from the truly sad to the sublime and uplifting. 

The musical materials are as eclectic as the subject matter, ranging from classical and folk songs, to emblematic pop songs and, of course, together we will sing Amazing Grace. These two eclectic singing stylists will be accompanied by the world-class talent of Jamie Clark (guitar).

Due to circumstances including weather uncertainty and location concerns this production has now been relocated and rescheduled. The performance is now free to attend and we encourage early booking as seats are limited.

This project is supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government and City of Moreton Bay to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
