Ah, thanks for this walk down memory lane! The Fabulous Singlettes were quite well known here in their native Oz, and in the late 80s and early 90s especially performed lots of sold out cabaret tours. They were big hits on the Edinburgh Festival circuit in the late 80s.
They're still performing, apparently; but in the recent clips I've seen, they've lost that elusive appeal (camp irony, slight tattiness, obscure song selection) in favor of rote cruise ship professionalism.
thank you!

Oh to be a fly on the wall in Jason's boudoir.
ReplyDeleteJason -- You're welcome! I'd never heard of them before; I accidentally stumbled across this while searching for something else altogether.
ReplyDeleteMJ -- Or undoing a fly in Jason's boudoir?
