Kate Kelly's Road Show

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Words and music by Edward Cowie
After the hanging of her brother Ned Kelly in 1880, Katherine (Kate) Kelly founded a travelling show which retold his story in songs and music. It was during one of her 'road shows' that a member of the audience violently accused her of amoral commercialism. Soon afterwards, Kate drowned herself in the Murray River.
LONTANO conductor ODAUNE DE LA MARTINEZ
