JUNE 28 1pm FREE EVENT Booking essential , BOOK HERE https://www.lbmf.com.au/all-events/bring-it-home Bring It home - contact - [email protected] Is a new intergenerational musical live event that invites all older people to dress up to the nines and step out to join us for a musical party. Featuring a galaxy of venerable stars, the show delivers interactive, stylistically and culturally diverse music, highlighting musical genres from the 1920s through to the 60s. Reminiscent of A Prairie Home Companion, the long running American variety show and radio broadcast, Bring it Home features high quality live music, with special guests, stories, belly laughs, deliciousness, sing-along, dancing, radio plays, interviews and more. The show provides interactive musical nourishment, as well as celebrating older musical artists, their work, their humour, and their rich histories. The show is full of variety featuring old favorites and completely new songs, and is suitable for persons of every age, 0 to 150, so bring along the grandkids, families and carers Who are we? The core house band for Bring it Home, Karen Davitt’s “All Day Fritz” with Steve Grant, Boris Conley and Pete Slipper has been challenging age barriers, and bringing great music to “humans of all ages” for over a decade, at festivals and venues all across the country including Port Fairy Folk Festival,Falls festival, MICF, Recital Centre Melbourne, Arts Centre Melbourne, Moomba, Spiegeltent, Artplay, and the Victorian Seniors Festival. For the Bring it home show we have embiggened to form the The Bring it Home Big Band which features some extraordinary musicians including Wilbur Wilde, Rebecca Barnard and Alison Ferrier, and the show draws on regular special guests such as Robyn Archer, George Butrumlis, African musician Valanga Khoza, Derek Guille and the Ugly Uncles, Crossing the Bridge Chinese Choir, Tango teacher for elders Rina Saweya, Quiz Master Brian Nankervis, Broadcaster Dee Mason, Whistlin Paddy Cronin, and we even beam in a segment “Let music be the food of love” that matches favorite recipes and tasty snacks with favorite songs ,featuring cook and chefs kicking off with and nourishing food in age care advocate Maggie Beer. Bring it home is social and interactive and the crowd are invited to participate in the music, singing and dancing, or perhaps join the band to play the famous pig-o-phone. Bring it home even offers a zombie dance off, and the unique opportunity to discover why the hardest part of a whistling master class is “showing up”, and why it's “all downhill from there!” Our audiences are invited to be rowdy and visible, they can be as involved as they choose, or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the great music, laughter, and the social atmosphere. Live performances are recorded to be made into a series of radio broadcasts for the Victorian seniors festival, these bring the shows to those who cannot attend the live event, or who might be suffering isolation We want both our live and radio audience to feel that they have come home. 2 minute promo video bring it home |
