Cannot Buy My Soul, The Songs of Kev Carmody (4.5/5)
Sydney Festival, State Theatre, Sydney, 11th January 2008

Carmody retells his life with a collection of established singers who respected the old man and sung for him rather than themselves. Highlights? On the Wire with Carmody lovingly accompanied by Missy Higgins, Claire Bowditch and Sara Storer. Tex Perkin’s evocative reading of Darkside. The optimistic finale, From Little Things Big Things Grow with all the cast.
A respectful, thoughtful audience, when this story cried out for community, for collective singing in sorrow and celebration.

Taking part: Kev Carmody with Clare Bowditch, Missy Higgins Dan Kelly, Paul Kelly, Tex Perkins, Steve and Alan Pigram, Glenn Richards, Sara Storer, Dan Sultan and members of the The Church, The Drones, The Herd and Last Kinection.
