Colourless @ Osk Bar
Event description
Join us at the beautifully intimate cocktail bar, Osk Bar Townsville, for an evening of original folk.
This is Blue Stockings' most recent project; bringing together two artistic styles: poetry and music, and creating an entirely authentic, and beautifully composed song cycle.
The collection of poems derives from the words of Chloe's GranPa, Gordon Hasson. In 2011, Gordon published A Collection of Poems, Literary Inspirations and Inanity, and gifted a copy to each family member. Inside the pages: A chaotic and wonderous style of writing and composition.
Blue Stockings premiered the collection of poetry in collaboration with Anywhere Festival in May of 2022, among the plants and greenery at Mappin's Nursery and Aquarium in West End, Brisbane. Set to release the song cycle to all music streaming platforms in June 2023, Blue Stockings is proud to share such an honourable story.
Deriving music from all genres, this upbeat, and light-hearted song cycle also tells the tale of a local Townsville legend.
The duo intend to bring the story back to Townsville to tell it and share the words of local resident Gordon in its place of origin.
