Melbourne headliners Cate Jardine and Betty France are bringing their electrifying cabaret act SOPHISTICATEANDBETTY to the mid-north coast on 11 October this year. These gifted performers blend dazzling vocals, excellent musicianship and witty, whimsical lyrics into a show unrivalled in entertainment venues across Australia and New Zealand. They have been described as elegant cabaret innovators meld stories of the absurd into fabulous and offbeat folk music wrapped in sweet harmonies, often leaving audiences laughing and crying in the same set.
Betty France is a celebrated musician and singer-songwriter who plays ukulele, saxophone, drums, banjo and guitar, performing in the internationally acclaimed ‘Thin White Ukes’, Victorian ‘Red Brigade All Girl Marching Band’, and sensational ‘Hopeless Romantics’, in addition to her ‘sophisticateandbetty’ cabaret shows. She learned stage crafts at the National Theatre Drama School in Melbourne and L'Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris. Also an expert music teacher, Betty has been teaching instruments, vocals and performance skills for over fifteen years, as well as leading the Yarra Yukers and the Melbourne Qukes festival performers.
Cate Jardine is a talented singer-songwriter, classical guitarist, mandolin player, ukulele picker and first-rate performer who emigrated from New Zealand to join the Melbourne cabaret scene and has been causing a sensation ever since. She has worked as an accompanist and harmoniser with artists such as Alyce Platt and other professional folk musicians on the festival circuit. Cate is also a Registered Nurse at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, singing in the Scrub Choir at the Myer Music Bowl last year.
