00:00If you recognise that song, you know that it belongs to an Australian music industry legend who joins us now, Deborah Conway.
00:22Welcome to the show.
00:23Now you have a fantastic project that you've devised, you're the producer of this, so tell us about Broadfest, because it sounds like a fantastic idea.
00:31Okay, well I will then.
00:34Broad is five female singer-songwriters, all on stage at the same time. I like to call it the all-singing, all-sitting show.
00:42And we're going to play some songs, we're going to play each other's songs, we're going to all play songs that we haven't written,
00:51but we're also going to have a conversation about songwriting and try and shine some light into those dark corners where method and inspiration meets technique.
01:01Okay, so you're going to be talking about the songwriting process as well?
01:04Yeah, well yeah, that's right, we're going to talk about that stuff and we're going to try and explore what it was that inspired those lyrics.
01:10And we've got Ruby Hunter.
01:12Fantastic.
01:13Claire Bodich.
01:14Sara Storer.
01:15Wow.
01:16And Katie Noonan and me.
01:17So we're really a very broad show.
01:19Fantastic line-up.
01:20Now if people want to find out more about it, is there a website or something?
01:23How can we...
01:24It is.
01:25There is broadfestival.com and you can go there and find some links to all the women's sites and also links to the tickets and links to the theatres.
01:35Do you think it's important for us to be shining the spotlight on women in particular in the music industry?
01:40Oh, not necessarily important, but a lot of fun.
01:43Yes.
01:44And I always get to work with blokes.
01:46I mean, all my bands have been blokes.
01:48I just wanted to work with some chicks for a while and I thought it would be really good fun.
01:52Happy to wag on a dress if it makes you feel more comfortable.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Alright, now look, you've got the guitar there, you've got the mic in position, so I think, you know, we could do a little impromptu number that we rehearsed this afternoon.
02:01Okay, let's go ahead.
02:02Excellent.
02:03You're not the only one.
02:04Squinty at broad daylight, drumming up conversation.
02:22so let's go ahead and bring the guitar.
02:29Pirates and braises pealing a peeling drumming up congregation's hands, reaching for a glass of water, dry socks and red verder
02:39in shoes on andcturbed, dandruff to no cigarette ash Kanye.
02:44Try to play it in an open hand
02:46I try to make a fist of this
02:49Even when the questions are candid
02:53My arrows miss
02:55Well I've heard about your fragile ego
02:58Your shield, your sword
03:01What am I expected to do?
03:05Shout man overboard
03:14Come around and I'm asleep
03:18Roll around and try to wake me
03:21That's alright, you got to go now
03:25Words overtake me
03:28Your pubic hairs are on my pillow
03:31Your stubble rings sink
03:34Your words under my skin
03:36Your table manners really stink
03:39Well I've heard about the things I love
03:46And you are in a swamp of treasure
03:51In a vase with incense
03:55Yeah I love you's next door's familiar
03:58As I'm sick and tired of this position
04:01Hatched underneath her arm
04:04A crutch under stress
04:06Your rudder when it's calm
04:09Well I'm old
04:10Staring at the ceiling
04:12While you point out my flaws
04:15I watch the wall
04:16Paper peeling
04:18From slamming doors
04:20And you talk about penis and me
04:23And your friends
04:24Applaud
04:25What am I expected to do?
04:29Shout man overboard
04:31Come across to other girls
04:49Look around and start a rumor
04:52Jealous wife scenes raise a smile at parties
04:56Like anal humor
04:59Are you addicted to attention?
05:02Do you do it for a fact?
05:05You're with elephants
05:06You're misunderstood and hand-packed
05:09Ooh

06:41Captured effortlessly
06:42That's the way it was
06:46Happened so naturally

07:24Gave me freedom
07:26I knew I could not resist
07:28I needed someone
