WINNER OF THE 2007 MUSICOZ "BEST INSTRUMENTALIST" AWARD.
"Wow!
Last night I saw the best guitarist in Australia, Peter Northcote. It was at his Album Launch at the Basement. Packed to the rafters by an amazed crowd. Peter possesses the ability to take an audience to another level of musical experience. Just like you must go to the Easter Show before you die, you also must see Peter Northcote in concert!"

Accompanied by a stellar band comprised of multi-instrumentalists - Jess Ciampa (Jeff Duff, Monsieur Camembert), Paul Najar and Adrian Petlevanny (musician/producer) she delves into the catalogues of artists as diverse as k.d. lang, Elvis Costello, Eartha Kitt and Nirvana. Each carefully chosen song in this motley collection gets its very own treatment; from high energy, primal rock pieces to stripped-down, bare-boned instrumentations revealing lustful lyrical content with undertones of jealousy and seduction.
Based around songs that are inspiring to her, Susannah delivers a performance that stretches from darkly dramatic to downright quirky producing moments of intensity and frivolity that target the often hard to reach corners of the heart and mind.
Moulin Roque takes the many strings of a passionate performer and ties them up into one evocative little package. It's one you'll want to unwrap again and again.
