Baby et Lulu will perform on Saturday, March 25 from 8pm.

Artists Abby Dobson ‘Baby’ and Lare Goodridge ‘Lulu’ have recorded a second selections of classic and contemporary chansons. 

For the first time they have also written a number of their own compositions in French.

Baby et Lulu said they’re enjoying a newfound poetic freedom in writing in the language they both love so much.

“I’ve been infatuated with France for as long as I can remember,” Lulu said. 

“It was at university that I discovered some of the great writers, poets and thinkers of France and the Sorbonne in Paris is the oldest university in the world, so it’s no wonder that France has long been a home of new thought, yet presented with beauty and elegance.”

For Baby it’s the French way of life that has long captured her attention. 

“My love of French music followed my love of French language, food and sensuality,” she said. 

Parisian aesthetics are so captivating, even the lighting from people’s living room windows seems sublimely art directed. I still love to wander around Paris on a Sunday; the place is so quiet.

“They close the shops because the French understand that, as a civilised nation, it’s important to have time to reflect, to switch off from the world of commerce, that an inner life is so valuable.”

Baby et Lulu allows Abby and Lara the exhilaration of stepping into two sassy and playful characters in a veritable celebration of la vie française.

A heady combination of feminine couture - from elegant to va va voom, seductive and witty banter and the extraordinary musicianship of the band, leaves them and their audiences, enraptured.

Whatever the French connection and inspiration, it’s not hard to be swept away by the irresistible fun which takes place whenever Baby et Lulu perform. Tickets are $42 and can be purchased at thelittleboxoffice.com/miltontheatre or from Country Leather in Milton. For phone orders contact 4455 3056.
