UNFORGOTTEN : Songs of Australians at War
About
15 August is the 80th Anniversary of the surrender of the Japanese in the Pacific and the fourth anniversary of the fall of Kabul.To mark the occasion, Fred Smith and band will serve up a survey in song of the experiences of Australians at war beginning with the iconic works of Eric Bogle, Don Walker (Cold Chisel) and John Schumann (Redgum), leading through to his own firsthand song-stories from the valleys of Uruzgan Province.
The performance offers a gritty and personal account of the on-the-ground realities faced by our soldiers in offshore conflicts.
Framed by a stunning collection of projected photos and some cheeky Aussie humour, the songs are set in historical context, honouring the sacrifices made while weighing the human/strategic costs/benefits of our “alliance wars”.
“Finely observed snapshots of a harsh, sad and funny reality…balancing drama and humour…towering artistic achievement” John Shand, SMH
A joint production with North Bondi RSL.
