Fifteen years ago, I performed in my very first cabaret show... so I thought it was time to do another one. This time a vintage jazz soiree tribute to Eartha Kitt!

Why Eartha Kitt?

After many years immersed in classical music and musical theatre, I wanted to explore something different and try my hand at jazz. There's something about jazz that I absolutely love—the soulful, relaxed way it can transport you to another world. Especially those beautiful tunes from the 1950s; they have my heart.

When I was growing up, my father always had a cassette tape playing in his classic car. One of those tapes was Eartha Kitt. I fell in love with her voice then, and that admiration has stayed with me ever since. Since my father passed away four years ago, I've also decided to dedicate this show to him and the wonderful memories we shared through music. He also had the most beautiful singing voice.

So, for my love of nostalgia, in honour of my father's musical influence, and to celebrate the glamour, wit, and mystery of Eartha Kitt, I am delighted to present my debut tribute cabaret:

Miss Kmit to You! 💋

I can't wait to share this special evening with you.

Throwback Thursday to when I was singing in a 1950s barbershop acapella quartet with these lovely ladies so many moons ago. 🎙️

We sang at many fun places like The Melba Spiegeltent, The Royal Croquet Club, ABC radio, and many other corporate events.

My favourites songs to sing included Sh-Boom, l
Lollipop, We'll meet again, Don't Fence Me In and Rum and Coca-Cola.
