Warmwaters
Warmwaters will be bringing the watery love to the Woodford Folk Festival, continuing their triumphant 2019 intranational tour that has launched their concept EP – InExperience.
Catch them at the Parlour on Saturday 28th December from 12.20 for their full-length show, or that night for a spot in the Deluxe Cabaret starting at 7.30, also in the Parlour.
Everyone enjoys good roots, and Warmwaters stand ready to folk you right up with their songs of romance and other issues. They’ve got a lot of issues.
In July 2019, everyone’s favourite best/worst folk duo, Warmwaters, embarked on their intranational tour of Brisbane and Melbourne, to rave reviews:
★★★★
“David Megarrity and Bridget Boyle dance on the knife edge of hilariously oblivious and utterly self-aware. … Warmwaters had the intimate audience in the palm of their hands”
– theatrepeople.com.au
“Funny and clever, skilfully woven in unexpected ways” – ridehomereview
“timeless and universal humour” – popculture-y.com
The tour launched their explosive new recording – InExperience – A Concept EP. Because in these fast-paced times, who has time for a whole concept album?
“Number 1 must-see show of the 2016 Queensland Cabaret Festival. Every festival has a standout show … a surprise hit or just something so quirky and comedic that no one can stop talking about it. At the 2015 Queensland Cabaret Festival, Warmwaters took that honour.” – Concrete Playground
Hilarious and musical, Warmwaters is a comic cabaret show featuring the duo’s distinctly arousing and original “accidentally-on-purpose cheeky” (Brisbane Times) love and protest songs blended with classics you know and love.
“… naïve song birds blissfully unaware that their entire repertoire is jam-packed with double-entendres …” – The Creative Issue
“Creating beautiful folk music and hilarious comedy together … the audience follow every pun, experience, every passive-aggressive poke made, and laugh consistently at the couple’s expense.” – DownstageDiscernments
A cross between Spinal Tap, The Kransky Sisters, and David Brent, Warmwaters leaves audiences with a smile on their face and all tingly below.
“Great night! So funny our table nearly wee’d ourselves.” – Amanda Allwood
“Cheeky and hilarious.” – E Wood
“Inspirational folk duo Warmwaters … their blend of word play, wind, strings and folk roots was brilliantly crafted … I regret not stealing their set list. This is my new favourite band.” – Lucinda Shaw
Featuring Bridget Boyle and David Megarrity.
Praise for Bridget Boyle …
“… this is a virtuoso comic performance.” – The Australian
“… raucous and irrepressible.” – The West Australian… and for David Megarrity …
“… as close as Brisbane has to a Renaissance Man.” – Rave
“… full of inspired silliness.” – Kamuke
