Sarah Liversidge, Carl Pannuzzo and Sime Nugent recreate and reimagine Roberta Flack's stunning debut album 'First Take' in its entirety with some relevant departures, to tell the full story of the landmark recording which propelled Roberta to popular and critical acclaim.
You might remember our version of The First Time ever I Saw Your Face, either a studio or live version. Well we thought why not celebrate the whole album that it came from?!
So you'll hear some classic Sarah, Sime and Carl as well as expanding beyond the Acapelicans' traditional format, some tasty instrumentation will be sparsely employed to bring light and air to this richly sensitive and arresting body of songs.
Featuring:
Sarah Liversidge: vocals, piano
Carl Pannuzzo: piano, vocals
Sime Nugent: guitar, vocals
Tamara Murphy: Double Bass
(and maybe some other surprise tastes :)
We've been loving rehearsing it and it's feeling pretty lovely!
We'd love you to join us to commemorate Roberta Cleopatra Flack after her passing earlier this year with this 'one night only' beautiful happening.

Tell your friends, bring a posse, so far sounding like it's gonna be pretty special :)
In harmony,
Carl and the Acas!
