This Is Not A Love Song!

  • The Jade 160 Flinders Street Adelaide, SA, 5000 Australia (map)

'Love Is All Around', 'Baby Love', 'Love Me Tender', 'Crazy In Love' - even the ridiculous 'Sea Of Love'.

The list of songs about love is long, and of course love is wonderful - but what about those of us who like our songs more cynical? or ​dark? Or funny? An anti-love song if you will?

Direct from London, acclaimed jazz vocalist Louise Messenger has waded right into that sea of love and sunk all the way to the bottom to find songs of love, betrayal, mystery and murder - the sometimes shocking and the straight-out funny thing that is love, and love gone wrong.

From Copacabana to Delilah, Ella Fitzgerald to Bobby Gentry – Louise Messenger and her fabulous Swingtet will have you singing along and discovering the darker side of some of our most beloved pop and jazz standards.
