Whoopee Blues: The Life and Times of the Conway Brothers + Q&A

Brothers Mic and Jim Conway have been making music together since their school days, when they formed the Jellybean Jug Band, which later morphed into the wildly popular Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band.

In the early 1970s, Captain Matchbox became a phenomenon, delighting audiences with lively performances of My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes and Fats Waller classics and quirky originals such as Wangaratta Wahine.

Mic's passion for vaudeville and creating instruments from anything at hand has driven his work across countless bands over the last 40 years, blending performance, circus, and humour.

With a mix of present-day interviews and extensive archival footage, Whoopee Blues: The Life and Times of the Conway Brothers celebrates the brothers' shared passion for music.

The result is an entertaining portrait of the brothers and their timeless contribution to Australian music history.

Screening at the NFSA on Saturday 6 December, 1 PM, documentary will be followed by an exclusive Q&A with Mic Conway.
Tickets: $21 / $18 + $1.50 booking fee.
