Biographies
Rex Melville: Rex is delighted to return to Sydney to entertain at this year's Glebe Music Festival, having last sung here in 2002, again with David McIntosh. Along with David, he frequently performs at functions in and around London. In August this year they presented "Why leave it to the Girls" in Hackney in London's East End. We will be including several songs from that show at tonight's cabaret.

David McIntosh: David is the Artistic Director of the Glebe Music Festival, now in its 18th year. He is a professionally trained organist and also a pianist and harpsichordist. He is the owner of Margaretta Cottage, the home of the Glebe Music Festival.
Philipp Shulz: Philipp is a German student currently resident in Sydney for work experience through the AIFS organisation. He is a drummer and has his own band in Germany. Philipp is assisting with the organisation and running of this year's Glebe Music Festival.

About the show
Men rarely get to perform songs specifically written for women and which reflect life and love through a woman's eyes - and vice versa! And so to contrast the emotional worlds of the sexes, we have devised a programme divided into two - Mars (he loves) and Venus (she loves). The conclusions about what make men and women tick we leave up to you!

We warmly thank David and Rodger, the owners of Gleebooks, and all their staff for allowing us to use the bookshop for this concert. We also thank the Glebe Society for its support of the Glebe Music Festival and Ted McIntosh for running the box office.
