Haul out your faux fur and pearls for musical show
They have been performing together for many years in intimate venues all over the country and form a formidable and quirky pair.
This April, The Packshed Restaurant is delighted to present ‘Piano at the Packshed’ – a soirée-supper-theatre type evening.
Posh, passionate and playful is how this show is described.
For this elegant evening, Barbie Meyer teams up with her partner in piano-crime, Jonathan Brauteseth.
Together, Barbie and Jonathan have become something of an institution in the music and performance industry.

Barbie’s first love is singing and this is immediately evident in the power and passion with which she delivers her perfectly chosen songs.
Her voice, together with Jonathan’s deep, gravelly tones has been described as ‘pouring double thick cream over roughly chopped mango’.
Effervescent Barbie promises that she will throw in a little of her favourite poetry.
“I do this in a somewhat futile endeavour to balance Jonathan’s insistence at reciting ridiculous limericks and ‘I’m a Gnu’ outbursts between songs… he does this solely to terrorise me,” she laughs.
“We’re an odd mix I know, me being more the bubbly, dare I say, frivolous one and Jonathan being more, well, curmudgeonly – now there’s a good English word for the day. We like to think that our show is refreshingly unpretentious yet glamorous enough to haul out your faux fur and pearls for,” says Barbie.
The show takes place on Friday, April 16, at 6pm for 6.30pm.
