He was a wise man who invented beer. Plato

The traditional trio of entertainment are wine, women and song. So it follows that a woman singing about wine must be the greatest form of entertainment known.

Certainly Christa Hughes is in no position to argue that proposition. The delectable Ms Hughes is a singer and songwriter of quality with a very wide range. She describes herself as 'Blues Belter, Vaudeville Vamp, Rock 'n' Roll Hell Cat, Cabaret Chanteuse, Burlesque Babe, Circus Run Away, Raucous Ring Mistress, Opera Dameā€¦'

Beer, it's the best damn drink in the world. Jack Nicholson



She is making a welcome return to Perth Downstairs at the Maj from the 11th to the 13th September in her show Beer Drinking Woman. Accompanied by pianist Leonie Wilson Ms Hughes runs through a vast repertoire of booze-related songs, including the eponymous Memphis Slim favourite.

Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world. Kaiser Wilhelm.

Christa describes the show thus;" Beer Drinking Woman isn't a 'celebration' of alcohol, rather it just shows alcohol as it is. It can be joyous, it can be disastrous, it can enhance a good time, it can turn something bad into something evil. It can highlight and it can blur."

A sneak preview of Hughes singing Beer Drinking Woman can been seen on YouTube .

Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer. Henry Lawson

Tickets for Beer Drinking Woman can be bought at the box office, Ticketek outlets or online . Tickets cost $42 (Concession $38). His Majesty's Theatre is at 825 Hay Street.

Kaiser Wilhelm would have loved her.
