Vicki and Mary welcome you to our site.

June 2009
 
Thanks to the many of you whom have been ringing, emailing and stopping us in the street (and other inappropriate places...you know who you are!) to ask whether The Standard Deviations will ever be performing live again.
We're happy to report that the answer is YES and we are pleased to give you loads of notice about our upcoming "Silence No More" gig which will be held in a **library** (-:
It's true...books and music...two of our favourites things...together.... (And, of course, if *you* come there'll be even *more* favourites!)  
Here are the details:  

Date: Wednesday 5th August
Time: 1.00 pm-2.00 pm
Venue: The Noel Stockdale Room,Central Library, Flinders University. Bedford Park. SA.
Cost: Gold coin donation
 
The Flinders University not only sponsor this series of lunchtime concerts and welcome all and sundry into their space, but they also provide a beautiful acoustic piano and explicit encouragement for performers and audience alike to make plenty of noise in an environment where we may once have been hushed.
 
So we hope that lots of you can wheedle out of work or escape from the Centrelink queues or uni or school (or wherever!) to join us for this special one-off event.
 
warm wishes,
 
Vicki and Mary.
