Katie’s mum, Joan Purvis, left us on 30 December, and this show is dedicated to Joan. The songs are favourites of Joan and/or by artists she loved. They include popular singers from the past and present, show tunes, folk artists she heard at the Port Fairy Folk Festival, Katie’s own former vocal group, Les Ms, and more. Here is the playlist:
