Writers Weekend
Deborah Conway
Writers Weekend Opening Night
Presented in association with Writing WA
You might remember Deborah Conway as the lead singer of Do-Re-Mi or from her iconic album covers – sultry on String of Pearls and smothered in Nutella on Bitch Epic. In her sensational new memoir Book of Life you get to read the dirty details of one of the most renowned and powerful women working in the Australian music industry.
Join Deborah for an evening of music and conversation for this special event to open our Writers Weekend.
