Girl Friday

Girl Friday, previously known as Cadenza Quartet, have been singing since 1997. Only two of the original members are still in the quartet, Beverley Walters, the lead and Robyn McCluggage, the baritone. During the years there have been a few changes to bass and tenor. Our last bass sang with us for 6 years, before calling it a “day”, and she has recently been replaced by Doris Ward, who commenced and directed Circular Keys Chorus until recent years, and is still actively involved in the chorus. Our tenor, Pippa Clinch joined some four years ago, replacing our then tenor, who decided to return to England to live.
Girl Friday compete every year at the Australian Regional Quartet competitions, and have, to their credit, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place medals… the whole set! Their “golden” year enabled them to compete on the International stage in Nashville USA. They’ve also won the “Most Improved Quartet” award twice.
Girl Friday sing at a variety of places: Yulefest functions at the Carrington Hotel, Katoomba, political fund-raising events, regularly at Citizenship Ceremonies for Rockdale Council, Australia Day Ceremonies, concerts, Presentation Award Dinners in the presence of the Governor, dinners with guest TV and radio personalities etc. even at the ZOO!
They are available for bookings for birthdays, concerts, dinners… whenever you think you’d like a fun a cappella quartet. They have a huge repertoire ranging from classical, religious, MOR, through to Jazz. They are also suitable for weddings or a funeral.
