Vancouver Island Mayworks presents the annual Women and Work evening

The evening begins with the fabulous Ms. Adventures, consisting of
Joanna Finch, Judy Norbury, Linda Safford and Hazel Lennox. Combining
satire and song, politics and personal stories, the Ms. Adventures are
sure to have the audience in stitches. The four Ms.'s have a long
history of performing together and are Comox Valley favourites.

The second performance of the evening features Mary Murphy, who is a
superb singer and a talented writer. A review in Performing
Songwriter Magazine states, "Blessed with a honeyed crystalline voice,
Mary fuses traditional, original and contemporary Irish folk with
occasional rootsy North Americana to create a synthesis that uplifts
both genres." Mary has performed across North America and Europe and
we are very lucky that she makes her home in the Comox Valley.

The last performance will be by Tracy Myers of Nanaimo, who has been
performing for live audiences for over 20 years and performed spoken
word solo for the first time in 1993. It was a powerful experience
for her and since then, her fiery brand of feminist musings and
commentary on a world gone mad has been performed at venues up and
down Vancouver Island. Tracy is also a drummer/percussionist and her
musical studies include two years at the jazz program in Nanaimo, B.C.
as well as travels to West Africa, Cuba and Brazil to explore rhythm.
Tracy brought the audience to their feet at last year's Women and Work
evening.
