10 Quick Qs – Katie Noonan

1. What, where, when and how much?

Spiegeltent at the Garden of Unearthly Delights, Saturday March 14 7pm $45

2. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less:

Katie Noonan’s Vanguard – we will be exploring new material from my upcoming album as well as some tunes from The Captains and my solo stuff. I aim to create a beautiful musical world that you can escape into and lose yourself in a nice way.

3. A quote/moment that stands out from your show?

OH god I am bad at these things – but my intention is to make beautiful, cinematic music that will transport you to the ether-world for a while.

4. Is heckling allowed?

Yes of course… I like to keep the distance/barrier between audience and stage as non existent as possible… we are all sharing in the one creative experience after all – just in different and equally important ways!

5. What is your role in the show?

Producer, singer, pianist, arranger, tour mummy etc 😉

6. What do you want to be when you grow up?

I wanted to be a Nun early on. Then Jem from Jem and the Holograms. Then an investigative journalist. Then a music therapist. Now I am a weird hybrid of these things (well maybe not the nun bit…)

7. If you could put on (or be in) any show/band in the world, which one would it be?

Sorry I love my bands too much to answer this one! I am completely fulfilled creatively 😉

8. Why would someone not come see your show?

To escape a while, to be caught up in something bigger than ourselves and hopefully to pick up!!! I often do a sing a long bit and the singing often helps people pick up!

9. In your opinion, what is the worst show/movie you’ve ever seen and why?

I hate reality tv and what it is doing to my industry. Does that kind of answer it?

10. Besides your show, what’s your pick for the Fringe/Garden?

Puddles Pity Party looks all sorts of rad. I would just head out and follow your nose though – so many great options to choose from!
