I love the move, Sweetie. I would love to contact Ms. Lemon-and tell her. paintingthislife@yahoo.com

Hi Gen, Thank you so much for yesterday. I had lots of fun singing BVs on Blue Sky Mine at the taping of the Susie Weekdays on WIN show with you, Colin, and Brendan. I love watching you work and I learn from you all the time. Really excited to hear you're now planning your next album! (hope it's ok to mention that). The make-up girls said the show goes to air next Thursday 21st, at 10am. That sound right? Looking forward to seeing Billy Elliot one more time before you go to Melbourne! Lots of love, Tia Jordan www.auditionguru.com

hey genevieve! I'm from Tennessee! I saw your movie "Sweetie" years ago when I was about 11. I am 25 now! I will never forget Sweetie for as long as I live!!! She was very unique and odd!!!
Clara Ellenburg Aplin66.110.208.6524-Jul-200803:53 PM
I love you YB!!! High time Colin made an "honest woman" out of you. LOL! Congratulations! I really wish I could I could have been there. I just wish I could see you, hear you giggle.... Memories are cherished. Clara

Hi Genevieve, I was actually hoping to get in touch, and arrange an interview. I would like to do a feature article on you in relation to Billy Elliot. I know how busy you are, please let me know if this is possible in the next week or so. I will work around your schedule, any time day or night. It would be very appreciated! Sincerely, Randi Russell randixoxo@hotmail.com
Melissa Trickey144.131.179.9407-Jul-200803:58 AM
Hi Gen, I just wanted to say how truely inspiring your performance is in Billy Elliot. I have never been so touched by a piece of theatre! What an outstanding show and an outstanding cast. I loved, loved, LOVED Shine! I'm from Melbourne, so I hope when the show comes down here you do too!!!! Well done, Melissa xxxx

Hi Genevieve, It's Mark Wong - guessing you'll remember me more as part of the Friends of Billy forum :) Have visited this site but never left a message so here'sone to say a big HELLO to you! Thank you so very much for keeping all of us entertained throughout the show - never have I dreamt I'd be meeting such amazing people and for that I'm really thankful for. Keep up the fantastic work and hope to see you soon. Many warm regards, Mark Wong

Hi Mrs Wilkinson, I am 8 years old and I went to see Billy Elliott today and you were the best ballet teacher. I loved the show very much. I wish I could see it again. Love Rohan

I just heard ANGELS IN THE CITY. It's a very good album. I wish it was easier to get
Alun Hood31-Mar-200808:50 AM
Hi Genevieve; greetings from London. Just got back from 3 terrific weeks in Sydney (I am missing it something chronic) and was lucky enough to catch Billy Elliot there. I thought it was head and shoulders above the London production, and you were absolutely stunning. Congratulations on your award.....very well deserved. Looking forward to coming back next year, and hopefully will be able to see you with your band!! Any chance we could borrow you for the London version of BE?!! Also, congratulations on the engagement, what a lucky bloke. All the best, Alun xx
Lovely_lm21-Mar-200804:52 PM
Hello there darlink! Its your cousin here in the west. How the hell are you? We are so excited about you coming wedding We will be there. Iam sorry we missed you in January but it was crazzzyyyyy. We are well, and happy here. We were thrilled to hear about your award. and we say BRING BILLY TO PERTH! Lots of Love, LM XXXX
Kane29-Jan-200806:48 PM
Hi Genevieve!, I saw you in Billy Elliot on thursday night and you where brilliant. You are a star performer in every show and a true professional. Some of those facial expressions in the number 'Shine', look just like the one's Tony Sheldon gives. A simple gesture or raise of an eyebrow has the audiences in stuches. Thankyou for all your wonderful performances and may their be many more.
The Theatre Ghost23-Jan-200805:08 AM
And I almost forgot... Congratulations on winning the award. I know that is no rumour..that's a fact!!!!
The Theatre Ghost23-Jan-200805:04 AM
The Theatre Ghost23-Jan-200805:03 AM
There are some rumours of a marraige going around - concerning you and a certain record producer you were seen leaving the Sydney Theatre Awards with the other night. Can you enlighten us?? Do they have any substance??
Jane and Terri from the UK22-Dec-200705:16 AM
We've read the Australian reviews and can't wait to see the Oz Billy Elliott. We are coming out in March to see you. Everyone is saying your production is , at the very least, as good as London. We hear that you are a magnificent Mrs. Wilkinson. We hope to meet you when we come out. Would that be possible?
Edward Turner, Darlinghurst20-Dec-200708:49 PM
Bravo,bravo, bravo. Your portrayal of Mrs Wilkinson is divine. Utterly divine. I saw it at the Australian premiere. I will be back.
Terrence Fischer16-Dec-200703:08 AM
I just loved Mrs Wilkinson in the Billy Elliott premiere. Congratulations. Remarkable performance. Such heart. And such a voice. A brave piece of casting. That is to say, not the usual safe song and dance cliches that musical theatre has a habit of falling back on. I take my hat off to all concerned. what a wondeful cast. Richard Piper as the emotionally bound up father of Billy brought me to tears. I saw my father so clearly in him. I will be coming back and bringing more friends next time. Best wishes, Terrence.
Your mum and wl again14-Dec-200708:32 PM
Saw SMH this morning, great review the boy looks fantastic...and of course what can we say about you....I am definately buying a ticket as long as I see you. Love from us....We are going into Manly to spread the Word. XXXOOO

We have just come from Sam Neil and Brian Brown's birthday party. Thank you. What a great event. Some show, with you, Tex Perkins, Diesel, James Reyne, etc.. You couldn't buy tickets to a show a like that.. You were fantastic. And such an amazing band. Woo woo.
Sturge04-Nov-200708:39 PM
I went to see Priscilla in Melbourne and you weren't in it. Silly me - just assumed you would be. Collette Mann is great, but you know Shirley is just not the same. I'll have to come back to Sydney to see Billy Elliot when it opens. Hope to see you then
Reed, Detroit.Mich 01-Nov-200708:27 PM
Thank you - I see you have got the Blue Sky Mine video back up on Youtube. I have mailed my friends to advise them. Hell of a version of a great song. Look forward to more.

Reed, Detroit.Mich 19-Sep-2007 02:14 PM
I just went to show my friends the Youtube of Blue Sky Mine and it said they have removed it. What's that all about? A pox on them! Is there more vision of performances?
Bernadette Baxter 18-Sep-2007 05:46 PM
Hve just seen the utube Blue Sky Mine. Did you play it at the Peter Garrett function which you say, on your website, that you [played at. If so, did he like it? It's very different from his version. I don't know which one I like best. Although, I must say the words on the one you did seem to be much more poignant. But I do like the music on the Oils version better, I think. I have been a Midnight Oil fan since I was a kid. I never thought of it as a beautiful song before. Maybe I need a few more listens. I've never been big on cover versions, but I have also been a fan of your acting since I saw you in Steaming. So I am a little bit torn. I will post another comment when I make up my mind. I listened to the tracks from your album that you have on your website, and I don't think I'll buy it because as I said I don't like cover versions much.Sorry. I liked Cowboy Man and Tom Trauberts Blues, but I have never heard the originals of those. But having said that I think you are a great singer. I remain, your fan, Bernadette Baxter
Renee 17-Sep-2007 10:30 AM
Hi Genevieve,i saw you at the Steely Dan concert on Saturday night. I came upto say hello but then I wasn't game. I wanted to say I have seen nearly all your shows over the last couple of years and can't wait for Billy Elliot. I don't know of many actors with your breadth of talent. Perfect comedy timing, beatitiful character acting, singing and dancing..... i loved you as Amanda Vanstone in the Wahrf Revue. You guys are the best of a very small minority in this country who are not afraid to make political comment in public. In an age where the voicing of views that differ from those espoused by the political masters is discouraged, we need people like you guys (and now the Chaser) who aren't afraid to point out that the emperor has no clothes. Good on you. Renee.
Linus 15-Sep-2007 09:48 PM
Hey Gen, What chance of seein you and the ole man over here in Germany sometime soon ??? Puttin together a lil combo that just might suit ya >>> Loadzaluv Linus
EnnieSommers from Lexington, Kentucky. 14-Sep-2007 05:43 PM
Hi Genevieve, I listened to your songs on Myspace. What a fine band you guys are. I am a greta admirer of Eva Cassisdy and you guys are right up there too. I was in the music business and saw a lot of Emmylou Harris in the 70s and 80s and remeber your fiddler Wayne from her band. i think he replaced Ricky Scaggs. In those days he played a lot of mandolin. and if my memory serves me right he also use to play a baritone saxophone. But my favourite memory of Wayne is the fiddle solo he did on one of the Crosby Stills Nash albums. I cant for the life of me remember the song. Ask him, he should remember. Your paino player is as fine as any I've ewver heard - bass and drums just rock.- very melodic both of them. The gut string guitarman, goddamn, that guy is all soul. and to top it off a liitle subtle dobro pokin out here and there to make me feel right at home.But all that means nothing without your heart stopping vocal 9and the girls backing you up.) Can i get your cd here in the US? I saw in the comments that Michael on Fire from Detroit is a fan (or friend?) of yours. That guy is awesome I've seen him many times around the US,. You probably could care less but I just wanted to tell you what I thought. i didn't think there wsere bands like that down there, but then I do remember the easybeats and midnight oil so.... Wish you well. thank you. i hear so much music but now and then something special comes along. Hope the whole cd is as good after all that. best wishes -ennie
Nick 10-Sep-2007 11:06 AM
Hi Geniveive i just wanted to say how brilliant you where in Priscilla. It really is a you had to leave early because of your lead role in Billy Elliot hoe exciting! But i have seen Jacki Weaver in the shpw and have to say that you have definatly left the show in extremely capable hands. Thanks for all your fabulous performances in all yor shows, can't wa't to see you in Billy Elliot the musical!
Charlie Robb 08-Sep-2007 12:25 PM
2 musicals back to back! It seems that you have finally been recognised as one of this country's great singers. About time. Not to mention one of our great actors. Keep it up, Genevieve, the more we hear of you the better. Can we expect a new CD soon?
Chad 05-Sep-2007 01:51 AM
Be over from US to see you in BETM -- you are a PERFECT fit for the role! Can't wait! See you over Xmas Holiday!
Des 02-Sep-2007 11:40 PM
You and your band were amazing at the Peter Garrett function on Thursday night. Particularly Blue Sky Mine and the very funny and clever verson of Walk on the Wildside. "Not till you say your sorry, Johnny". Thanks also to Terry Serio. He was also very fuynny. Bob Hawke, Peter Garrett, Genevieve Lemon, Amanda Keller, Terry Serio all on the one stage. What a night!
Marcia. WA 27-Aug-2007 10:52 AM
Hey. Great version of Blue Sky Mining. I love the Oils amd I love your version too. I saw you in your one woman show in Margaret River a couple of years ago. (Sorry I forget the name of it now.) When are you bringing your band over here to Western Australia. I t would be a trip to see you guys live.
Todd Burke - West Hollywood 26-Aug-2007 05:05 PM
I hear that, Reed. I first heard of Geneivieve as a contender for Interview Magazine's Two-minute Oscars. To quote them - ......." 7. GENEVIEVE LEMON as the dithering, lace-capped Nessie, who nurses an utterly unrequited crush on Harvey Keitel in The Piano. (In truth, Lemon's role as Nessie makes her a rather substantial Two-Minute contender, but her work in Sweetie won my heart forever.)" .........I had seen "The Piano" but watched it again for Nessie - fabulous performance. Then I had to find Sweetie and I was totally shocked. A truly magnificent actor. I don't understand why we havent seen more of you here, Geneivieve. And a singer too. ( I listened to the cuts on your Myspace). Most actors can sing but you are truly a great singer. Don't tell me you can dance too?????? TTT - True Triple Threat. Thank you , Geneivieve, I am a great fan. Could I please have a signed photo of Sweetie? Please.
Reed, Detroit.Mich 25-Aug-2007 12:22 PM
Love the Youtube performance. What a beautiful band you have too. That piano player is a gem. I went to find Midnight Oils original on the tube too. Let me say you guys have made this into a beautiful tune. We don't see many Australian acts - would love to see more of you - is there more? Is your cd available in the US? I recently saw you in Sweetie, the new dvd release, which is why I went looking for your site. You are Australia's best kept secret!
Sam 21-Aug-2007 11:42 PM
Congratulations. I only just found out. You will be a pefect Mrs.Wilkinson
Libby and Michael Fellos 20-Aug-2007 02:15 AM
Can't wait for Billy Elliot. You were fantastic as Shirley in Priscilla. You will be even more so as Mrs Wilkinson, we are sure.
Turk 18-Aug-2007 01:23 AM
We heard it rumoured that you were going to be in Billy Elliot the Musical. It's obviously official now. Congratulations - can't wait for the show.
Tony 14-Aug-2007 01:17 PM
Hi Geniveive i seen you in Priscilla and thought you where absolutly hilarious you are so perfect as mulleted pub owner 'Shirley'!
Hurrah 22-Jul-2007 01:55 AM
I held my breath when you started to sing Blue Sky Mine and I had tears in my eyes at the end. Awesome.
Luke 04-Jul-2007 04:58 PM
Hi Genevieve, Your voice and interpretation of Blue Sky Mine just blew me away on the ABC's sideshow. I think they'll have to have an encore performance with you when they come back on the air. Absolutely fantastic
Sonja 25-Jun-2007 12:17 PM
Hi Genevieve, My God what a voice - went in to the CD store to buy all your CD's only to find you do it yourself. What a performance on ABC's Sideshow! Your interpretation and presentation was absolutely spellbinding - where have you been all my life!
Shay 24-Jun-2007 05:27 PM
Sometimes, a few times in a lifetime perhaps, you hear a singer who makes you hold your breath.... makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Brava for your Sideshow performance. Beautiful.
RICHARD 24-Jun-2007 03:36 PM
UN BLOODY BELIEVABLE - I WAS STUNNED - CAPTIVATED AND ENTRALLED - WHAT A PRTFORMANCE - MORE PLEASE
Donna 24-Jun-2007 01:49 PM
Hi Genevieve,Just a small question: did you go to Mount Saint Joseph, Milpera? Say finish 1975. Donna Craig
Barbara 24-Jun-2007 11:38 AM
Hi Genevieve. What a wonderful performance on the Sideshow. Have only ever known you as an actress! Wow! I've ordered 2 CDS - 1 for me and 1 for a friend. Will spread the word. Thanks again.
Rick R 24-Jun-2007 10:51 AM
Hey there Genevieve. Like the others here - saw you on Sideshow, immediately bought the album and looking forward to hearing lots more about what you're doing. Your interpretation of the song last night was very Jane Olivor (favourite singer in the world!) so you're really 'up there' - so impressed!
Rodney Olsen 23-Jun-2007 11:43 PM
I can't believe that I've never heard you sing before. Where have you been hiding all these years? Brilliant performance on The Sideshow tonight. I sat glued to the television. The song ended way too soon.
Suzie 23-Jun-2007 11:07 PM
After hearing Blue Sky Mining on 702 and again tonight I'm very thankful for your website so that I could get more info. I can't wait to buy the album.
Rick 23-Jun-2007 09:22 PM
As with the others, I was blown away by the performance. Stunning. The song has always meant something to me, having lived in Wittenoom as a kid for 2 years in the mid/late 60's, but what you have done with it is simply superb. Thank you.
Tracey 23-Jun-2007 09:15 PM
I just saw you on 'The Sideshow' and was blown away by your interpretation of 'Blue Sky Mine'. I really felt the power of that song and the sadness behind the lyric for the first time. Kudos to you. I've just bought your CD too. Can't wait to hear what else is on it!
Terry 23-Jun-2007 08:57 PM
Hi Genevieve, Saw you on The Sideshow. What a GREAT SINGER you are. Why are you not more well known as a singer?
Lulu 23-Jun-2007 08:34 PM
Just heard you Sideshow WOW!!!!! what a voice, what an interpretation!! when the Oil's sang it , i could barely understand a word. you did justice to the lyrics and the gravity of the song. What a pleasure to hear a singer with great diction!!! So few and far between these days! ( for the record, i'm not 72 as one would possibly expect that sort of a comment from that generation! I'm 45!. For what it's worth i,m also a fan of the vocal and diction qualities of Julie Andrews! Stop!! do not typecast me based on that!! Seriously, great backing musos and vocals! CHEERS!!
Jody 23-Jun-2007 08:31 PM
Hi I just saw you on SIDESHOW - rushed to the computer and looked up your CD. Fantastic. So nice to hear such a well written song performed with such grace. Looking fwd to the CD. Take care.
Kev Florence 23-Jun-2007 08:29 PM
Saw your performance on The Sideshow.. Your interpretation of Blu Sky Mine was so much better than the ortiginal..
Mary 23-Jun-2007 08:21 PM
Hi, absolutely loved your performance on the Sideshow and have just found your website and bought the CD, really looking forward to hearing it!
Flloyd Kennedy 23-Jun-2007 08:21 PM
Just caught you on the Side Show, such a beautiful song, beautifully sung. Looked up your website, because I'm curious to know if you ever trained your voice in any particular training method?
Alan and Abigail. 19-Jun-2007 11:34 PM
Thanks for your wonderful performance in Up Close and Musical. We saw every night of it but thought your night was absolutely the best. And Michael Tyack is such a great accompaniest. A beautiful piano player. The song you did about the girl who hates sushi was hilarious. Thanks also to Kookaburra for presenting such a wonderful and eclectic bunch of performers. The Star Observer was right when it said "five of Australia's finest singers". We look forward to seeing more from you in the near future. Alan and Abigail. Also, loved Shirley in Priscilla
Tim McLaren and Carina Cooper 16-Jun-2007 06:25 PM
Hi there, Congratulations on getting a role in Billy Elliot. We are from Tassie and last year went to London to see Billy Elliot and it was amazing. This time we are bringing eleven friends to see it in Sydney. GOOD LUCK im sure you will bring Mrs Wilkonson to life and find the ELECTRICITY!!!!!! on stage. Regards Tim and Carina (Tas) P.S The Song "The Letter" is amazing
Evelyn 23-May-2007 02:53 PM
Genevieve, I have been a fan of yours ever since Cell Block H and Sweetie. But I didn't know you were a singer. I just got ANGELS IN THE CITY and I've played nothing else since. When are you bringing your band to the UK? Me and my friends will come. Every night! If you don't I'm just going to have to come to Australia to see you. Please come I can't afford to come down there. Great album. With kindest regards, Evelyn Albans UK
J.Harris UK 28-Apr-2007 04:11 AM
Didn`t know if it worked before? Just to say Gen Rocks!! What a Star and gorgeous too! From J whosatthedoor@hotmail.com We do need more Genevieve here in the UK though PLEEEAAASSSEE!!!! x
J.Harris 27-Apr-2007 06:46 AM
Hey you guys! Thanks for this web page dedicated to the most gorgeous woman in the world! Tell her she is amazing! We need more Genevieve in the UK, come on Gen, make us all happy! Love her lots xxx
Carly and Sonja 25-Mar-2007 03:07 PM
Yes, we loved Spicks and Specks, too. And also we thought we'd see you sing, but we just had to be satisfied with the "substitutes" bit. We are going to see Priscilla again in April. If we let you know when maybe we could meet you?
Libby Fellos 24-Mar-2007 12:39 PM
Saw you on Spics and Specs last week. Very funny. We were hoping you'd sing at the end. Instead we got an old film clip of someone's brother! Love the album. It is on our car stereo all the time. Look forward to the next one.
ON THE INSIDE 25-Feb-2007 10:03 AM
Hello Genevieve! Great to see your website. We all have very fond memories of you as Marlene in Prisoner, some great material with Peter Bensley, Maggie Millar and Maggie Kirkpatrick to name a few! Best wishes from everyone at the Official Prisoner website. www.prisoner-cellblockh.co.uk
Tombo 24-Feb-2007 10:14 PM
Hi from Klein, Texas. Just wanna say we love that someone from way down there in Australia is doing one of our Lyle's songs. Top shelf voice and I'd like to buy that fiddle player a drink.
Carly and Sonja 23-Feb-2007 09:50 PM
Hi Geneiveve. We saw Lemontart last Sunday night. Lushlife! Wow! That will remain with us as one of the great cabaret moments. We were fans of Shirley but now we've seen the real you.... We love you. We didn't realise until we were looking through your website that Lemontart is half of the G L band with another backing singer. Can't wait to hear the whole band. We've signed up for the newsletter. We loved the French song and the Midnight Oil song - it's wonderful to see somebody say something real for a change as opposed to just "Look at me!!!!" Looking forward to your nnext show. Carly and Sonja
col 13-Feb-2007 06:05 PM
Hi Genevieve, great site.Remember waching you in loads of Aussie dramas particularly Prisoner Cell Block H and The Young Doctors.I also remember you having a very small role in Sons and Daughters opposite Ian Rawlings!
Bernie, Colin, Michelle and Matthew 28-Jan-2007 08:03 AM
Hi Gen and Colin, Hello hello hello from Dublin. We love your album. bi bi
Colin 25-Jan-2007 05:45 PM
Hey Kevin - good to hear from you. Where are you. We haven't seen you in years. Thanks. That song was called Keep on Moving. We're writing stuff for the next album now. Maybe you can play some on it?. Email me. OR leave you email on this page.
Kevin the fox 24-Jan-2007 10:44 PM
when are you going t do another album? Are you gonna do your own songs on this one? We heard you do your own songs in The Station when it showed on SBS TV. Sorry, don't mean to tell you what to do. I just think they were good songs. Particularly the title one. I don't remember what it was called. Somethbing like Keep on Walking. We look forward to the next one.
John 17-Jan-2007 10:06 AM
Hi Geniveive, I just wanted to say you where Brilliant in Priscilla last night.
Tony 17-Jan-2007 10:03 AM
Hi Genevieve, I have seen Priscilla 10 times now and have to say that you playing Shirley is truly hilarious you and Tony Sheldon hold that show together. You are a fabulous performer.
Kelly and Alison 04-Jan-2007 03:47 PM
Hi Genevieve! I'm afraid you've been terribly misinformed, we're not in love with Tony Sheldon... we're in love with YOU! You see; we clearly recall the day in October 2005 whilst watching Tony perform his Hitler "challenge tap" for the tenth time (from the front row of the Producers). We both simultaneously turned towards each other and declared the following:- "If the utterly fabulous Genevieve Lemon is ever in a show with Tony Sheldon we'll go once a week and sit in the front row every time!" (And when it comes to declarations we ain't foolin' around) Now seriously.. everybody that we take to see Priscilla says that Shirley steals the show and we have to agree.. Shirl, is a hoot! It's been wonderful watching you build that character week after week and you have us in stitches every time. Thank you. We're extremely interested in seeing your new show "Lemon Tart" and have tried Ticketmaster on several occasions to no avail. Is there another source to book the tickets or are they not on sale as yet? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. See you Tuesday(s...) Love Kelly and Alison Front row centre, occasionally on the side (fringe dwellers)
A L Truman 06-Dec-2006 04:17:16 PM
I'm so glad that Sweetie has finally been recognized as one of the world's great films with its release as part of the Criterion Collection. I first saw it in 1990 or 91, and fell in love with you and Karen Colston and Jane Campion. I have followed Jane's career but have seen little from you or Karen. When I watched it again tonight I was stunned by your Sweetie - truly rivetting. I think when I saw it all those years ago, I didn't appreciate the depth of your performance. I see from your website that you have in fact done a lot since Sweetie, but your work is not as accessible here in the US as it is in Australia, so I may be forgiven for being less than familiar with your work. Please forgive the gushing of an old film buff. I felt moved to write and say congratulations - maybe 15 years too late but I applaud your Sweetie now. Thank you, Genevieve. Arnold Leslie Truman. NYC

A WARNING, people. Don't blindly accept everything you hear from Scheptic. I believe he may be a mole from Australian Government intelligence. Now the word is out, I think they are trying to destabilise the SHIRLEY FOR PM Campaign
Scheptic 26-Nov-2006 11:03:46 AM
<<<<<<<<<<CONSPIRACIES>>>>>>>>> i just noticed that Downtown is the first song in Priscilla and also the first song on the geneveve's Angels in the City album. is that a coincidence? Or is Tony Hatch the most popular man in showbiz. (Nxt to our Johnny that is).Is Tony Hatch running for PM? And Shirley is not on Lemon's CD. No where. No mention of her in the credits and I can't hear her anywhere. Has anyone ever seen geneveve Lemon and Shirley in the same room at the same time? People say Lemon is often seen entering or leaving the Lyric Theatre stagedoor, but you only see Shirley onstage. And no one has ever seen Shirley arriving or leaving the theatre. The evidence is fast reaching it's critical mass..............
B Girl 26-Nov-2006 04:23:04 AM
I think to make up for such a crucial error of judgement in not having Shirley on dancing with the Stars they should make her the host next season. Or the hostess. From there its just a bit of a sidestep, or quickstep, to the PM's office. Watch out, Little Johnny and Big Dazza I can sense a rumbling out there in the masses.

I also must say that I was a LOT disappointed to see that Shirl wasn't part of the gig on "Dancing with the Stars" Her rendition of "I Love the Nightlife" would have been an absolute hit. Keep up the good work Shirl, and as Kim said in her message, SHIRLEY FOR PM..I would vote for that!!!!! If these is any vacancies in FOSS please let me know.

We didn't see Shirley on Dancing with the Stars the other night. What's that all about? We watched the whole show and then NO SHIRLEY. We were a little bit miffed. Tell your producers they has 9 dissapointed fans.

Shirley for PM. What do you think Shirl???

Hi Genevieve Attended the evening session of "Priscilla" last night and what can I say about "Shirley" except hurly burly what a girly. Fantastic performance. Congratulations. I just wish I could sing "I Love the Nightlife" like Shirl.

E.R, thanks for your kind words, however I suspect the version of Blue Sky Mine that you heard on the radio was actually Lemon Tart, not the GL Band. Lemon Tart ( a show I do with the beautiful Josh Quong Tart), had just finished a season at the Statement Lounge in Sydney and was asked to play live for the ABC 702 Writers Week Live Broadcast from the Sydney Dance Company Cafe at the Wharf. We did a number of songs including BSM.You didn't leave your email address for us to let you know about whats happening with the band. Doing 8 shows a week in Priscilla means G.L.Band dates are quite sparse for a while. However we think the CD launch for Angels in the City will be in January during the Sydney Festival and also a series of Lemon Tart shows during February. Come back to us with your email and we'll let you know. Gen

I have just heard your Angels in the City CD. Great album! I didn't know it was your band who did this enigmatic version of Blue Sky Mine that I heard on the radio earlier this year. I never heard who it was. But it stayed with me. What a great arrangement of a great song. i look forward to seeing this band. Where? When?

Hi, Just got home from seeing you tonight in Priscilla and luckily found your website. What a fantastic performance. Congratulations!

Hi, we saw you in "My Brilliant Divorce" in Tasmania last year. We were holidaying from Sydney. Then we heard that you were doing "Lemon Tart" at the Statement Lounge in Sydney this year, we came along. We didn't realise it would be so musical, we only knew you as an actor. I cried when you sang "Blue Sky Mine". The Oils are my all time favourite band. ( Does that give my age away?)Anyway, when I stumbled on your website, I thought I might just write a little note. I've put my email onto your newsletter list.Can we come and say hello next time we see you performing? Thanks again, Libby

What is that magical something that makes me listen to "Angels in the City" over and over again? Genevieve's magnificent voice and mystical way she seems to own these songs--her interpretations have brought that magical something and given me a fresh appreciation for these great tunes. The band plays with such soulful conviction and joy---I love hearing the live performance that Genevieve and this fine group of musicians have gifted us with---bravo and blessings to you. I am honored to be one of the first in the world to have a copy of this CD. Thank you Colin and Genevieve. Enjoying this CD here in America--Detroit, Michigan
