Event Details

One of Australia's most recognised and respected actors and singers, John Waters will perform a show that highlights the songs of the great Belgium born French singer-songwriter Jacques BREL. While many of Brel's songs were recorded in English translation in the 60's and 70's by artists including Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, Dusty Springfield and Ray Charles, Waters will perform them as the original French versions, explaining their significance along the way sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, sometimes painfully romantic but always engrossing and compelling. 'As a teenager hitchhiking in France I meet a street musician singing a beautiful song. I asked who's song it was and he said Jacques Brel and that memory and the passion expressed in the song is something I've wanted to revisit ever since. I also had the fortunate pleasure of seeing BREL live in performance at the Olympia in Paris and I perform his works as often as I can' says John. If you saw Water's popular John Lennon tribute 'Looking Through A Glass Onion' and loved it, then BREL is sure to cast a spell and get under your skin.
