MUSICIAN Abbe May loves Fremantle so much, she jumped at the chance to return to the port city for this year’s Fremantle Festival.
Stepping away from the usual stand-and-sing performance, she will be resurrecting last year’s hit offering The Tonight Show Starring Abbe May, interviewing and playing alongside special guests including Elli Schoen, Lee Sappho, Timothy Nelson and Steve Gibson.
May said Fremantle felt like home and she was honoured to bring the show back to this year’s festival.

“Each interview is a chance for the artist to reveal sides of their personalities and lives that may not be possible to reveal at their own shows.
“It is all pretty spontaneous and totally unrecorded so it is a one-off chance to experience these intimate performances and chats with some of WA’s finest.”
