On the 28 July 2016 Australian french language duo Abby Dobson (Leonardo's Bride) and Lara Dobson (Four Play) accompanied by their talented band perform at the Brisbane Powerhouse.

Under the playful guise of alter-egos Baby (Dobson) and Lulu (Goodridge), the pair will perform a wide range of the French songbook including hits by French icons Edith Piaf, Camille, Serge Gainsbourg, Brigitte Bardot and more. Audiences can also anticipate a French language rendition of the platinum-selling, 'Even When I'm Sleeping', originally sung by Dobson herself in Leonardo's Bride.

Baby et Lulu have been touring the east coast over the past year performing at venues and festivals including Melbourne Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival, WOMADelaide and The Capital Jazz Project at The Street Theatre in Canberra.



Baby Et Lulu have been nominated for an ARIA for their album Deux and put down much of their success to the Australian love of the french culture.

Abby Dobson said, "People just keep coming back and they bring their friends and they bring more friends next time. It seems people really love it. Who knew there were so many francophiles in Australia.""We dress up. And fortunately I've been buying vintage dresses from the '50s since forever, so I've got quite a collection. And Lara does now too. It's very girlie and kind of coquettish, but very playful as well. We don't take ourselves too seriously."



Tickets are $55.00 plus transaction fee and starts at 7:30 on the night.
