The Country Witches Association (CWA) consists of comedian, Mandy Nolan and singer/songwriter, Áine Tyrell. As regulations in NSW ease, they are planning to embark on their first socially distanced road tour shows in Sydney and Katoomba.
Despite putting on online shows during the more restrictive times, the two are eager to begin performing live once again.
In an interview with City Hub, Mandy described the CWA as “a group for women who are social disruptors, who are sick of things being the way they are.”
In the dynamic duo’s upcoming shows, viewers can expect to get involved through their own ideas in the interactive aspect of the shows, as well as comedy, music, a secret handshake, oath, card, and more. “It’s like being part of a club!” as put by Mandy.
“We thought we’d make a movement of women who can’t be bothered, like a DISorganisation.
“When you couldn’t perform live you feel like you have to reach out to your audience, have a bit of fun, and some serious conversations,” Mandy said about the CWA’s online meetings which were held during the peak of the restrictions.
“We do have strong feminist perspectives and we talk about things at times like domestic violence and what it is like for women in the world where things don’t appear to be changing that much, or fast enough. They’re not always comfortable conversations, but we feel that they are important.”
