Dying to Know Day Eudlo: Confessions of a Funeral Singer (75 minute concert with 90 minute workshop)

CONFESSIONS OF A FUNERAL SINGER: 75 minute concert, celebrates the glorious hodgepodge of funeral music. 

Funeral singers and raconteurs, Leah Cotterell and Narelle McCoy have seen it all: 

folk songs at Australian-Irish wakes; 

swampy gospel at Buddhist services; 

rock ballads in Protestant chapels; 

Baptist hymns in Catholic churches; 

an impromptu “Danny Boy” when Spotify failed. 

It’s a gentle reminder to always look on the bright side of life [and death], and begs the essential question: “What song do you want at your funeral?” – Review, Georgia Haupt, Anywhere Festival Moreton Bay 2025
