BOOKED OUT Book of Life: Deborah Conway in Conversation
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS MOVED TO NUSPACE ROOM X201
In 1991, Deborah Conway sang ‘It’s only the beginning / But I’ve already gone and lost my mind’, in a joyous anthem that belted from Australian radios. She won awards and charted in the top 20 across the world several times. Then a few short years later, she was off the radar – but not by her own choosing. Deborah talks to Linda Marigliano about her memoir, Book of Life, which dives into those iconic moments, sharing behind-the-scenes of the Australian music industry, and the rise, fall, and rise again of her epic career.
Tickets now sold out for this session.
