PLEASE NOTE: THIS SESSION HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Showcasing the Anthology, Spinning Around – The Kylie Playlist (Fremantle Press 2024), this special evening event will celebrate the quintessentially Aussie tunes of one of our favourite musical performers, Kylie Minogue.

Enjoy renditions of Kylie’s music provided by Andy Pobjoy from The Piano Bar, with accompanying performances by Geelong’s very own entertainer and Kylie impersonator, Kim Cooper*.

MC’d by author Angela Savage, co-editor of this sparkling anthology, and featuring readings from contributing authors Nathan Curnow (Confide in Me), Lucy Treloar (Into the Blue) and Carrie Tiffany (Come Into My World), this event will be a nostalgic look at the impact of Kylie’s music on us all. Come along and be ready to add your voice and your moves (if you wish!) to this fun and festive singing celebration.

Ages 18+, Canapes and drinks will be provided. Get in quick, this event sold out fast last year!

$75* or $55* for Concession Card Holders (all cards accepted).

Local Word Writers Festival is an annual event of local writers presenting workshops, presentations and panel discussions for writers and readers.

This event is proudly sponsored by The Book House.

*Please note late program change - Kim Cooper will replace previously advertised local entertainer, Angie Hilton.
