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. After leaving us for a couple of years,
Kerrie Studdert has “returned to the fold” as our bass….she just
couldn’t stay away and
missed our quartet “family” too much. Our tenor, Pippa Clinch has
been with us about 7 years, replacing our then tenor, who decided to
return to England to live….although she, too, has returned to
Australia.
Girl Friday have competed eight times 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. Although they have
decided not to “compete” anymore, Girl Friday are still very much in
demand for bookings of all kinds.
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 and on board boats!
They are available for bookings for birthdays, concerts,
dinners…whenever you think you’d like a fun, relaxed a cappella
quartet. They have a huge repertoire ranging from classical,
religious, MOR, through to Jazz. They are also suitable and
experienced in singing at weddings or funerals. With a lot of years
experience under their belts, Girl Friday always please the
audiences whenever
they perform.
