Mavis & The Man

Mavis & The Man write songs that are meant to get a laugh. The Brisbane duo's original lyrics are offbeat and more than a little wacky, set to toe-tapping tunes that borrow from folk as much as cabaret. The musicianship is sharp, so the jokes sit on top of properly played music rather than replacing it, and guests usually end up nodding along and joining in. They also play morning melodies sessions, so a daytime audience is familiar ground. They travel up to 100 km from Brisbane.
