Mandy Connell Connell’s arresting presence is what stands out. Singer and guitarist, she is popular for her writing, and loved for her stagecraft, but it’s her breadth of passion for the broader ‘folk’ genre which makes her unusual in Australia. Girl Friday Girl Friday (Tracey Hogue) crafts songs which evoke a sense of nostalgia, whimsy and timelessness. Drawing inspiration from the folk, blues and jazz of the first half of the twentieth century, her rich voice and heartfelt lyrics transport the audience to a different era while still being firmly ensconced in the modern day.
