Woopi News - Living Legend Deborah Conway at Woopi Brewery
Acclaimed Australian songwriter and vocalist Deborah Conway will be performing at Woopi Brewery in what organisers are thrilled to call “an exclusive curated” performance. Her first in the City of Coffs since the early 90s and her first ever in Woolgoolga.
“I think we did Do-Ré-Mi back in the early 90s at the Planto, but she hasn’t been to Coffs since when she was just a kid” said promoter John Logan this week.
Deborah was a founding member of the 80s rock band DoRé-Mi with their top-5 hit ‘Man Overboard’.
When she later performed solo she had a top-20 hit single with ‘It’s Only the Beginning’.
Deborah will perform her best-known songs and material gathered from a long career spanning back to the 80s, accompanied by her husband and accompanist, Willy Zygier. Conway and Zygier have been musicians for over 40 years, collaborating together for 32 of them. They have released 10 albums, played countless live shows, recorded many songs, produced albums, performed in shows, tours and festivals. The couple has earned several awards over the years, including the Aria Award for Best Female Performer, Gold and Platinum album awards, induction into the National Film and Sound Archive, and Conway being named a Living Legend by the Leaps and Bounds Festival and Rolling Stone Magazine.
In 2019, Deborah was made a National Living Legend by the National Live Music Awards, and in 2020, she was given a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia and won the Don Banks Award. In 2022, Music Victoria inducted Conway into the Music Hall of Fame.
In 2023, Conway’s autobiography, Book of Life, came out through Allen & Unwin.
The tickets for the show which is on Friday May 10 at 6pm are already on sale at trybooking.com
