WHISKY
on the GOLDFIELDS
Songs, stories & tasting
Delve into the history of whisky in 18th and 19th century Australia through stories, songs and tasting, taking your ears, eyes and taste buds on a liquid journey.
From illicit distilling to tent bars, spirits as currency, the role of whisky in the Eureka Rebellion, and the many and varied escapades of producers and drinkers, Amie will have you on the edge of you seat as she takes you on a rollicking journey through the 19th century.
The show shines a light on a hidden part of Australia’s drinking history, revealing people and events that have shaped the nation.
A multisensory experience that blends stories and whisky songs – traditional folk and old blues – with a guided tasting of three whiskies.
THE WOMEN OF VERSAILLES
Les Femmes de Versailles
Discover the secrets and conquests of the extraordinary women of the French court accompanied by beautiful baroque music and songs. Amie Brûlée, in splendid 18th century costume, tells the tales of the women of Versailles and sings and plays the piano.
Featuring queens, mistresses, writers, activists, and prostitutes, their stories span fashion, food, philosophy, and all manner of things in between. Find out if Marie-Antoinette really said, ‘Let them eat cake!”, the origins of Louboutin’s red shoe soles, and how Madame de Montespan carved her place in state affairs with a needle and thread.
One-woman, one-piano, one-hour.
BON APPÉTIT!
Food & Drinks songs
Amie released her new album in 2023 – Bon Appétit! – with thirteen fabulous songs from the 1920s to the early 2000s, all on the subject of food and drink. From well-known songs, such as the soft and beautiful “Days of Wine and Roses” and dirty old blues “Sugar In My Bowl“, to more obscure gems like “Peel Me A Grape” and “Drinking Champagne“, these songs are the perfect thing to listen to whilst cooking lunch or sitting down with a drink or dinner.
Listen to the album on Bandcamp!
Watch the band live at Sovereign Hill Heritage Market 2024.
