Deborah Conway is an Australian musician who became well known in the band Do-Re-Mi with their surprise hit Man Overboard. Do-Re-Mi went on to record two albums and a batch of singles. While they were working in England, Deborah was involved in the Pete Towsend's project The Iron Man. Shortly afterwards she made an album of dance music which was never released.
In 1991 she released her first solo album, the folky String of Pearls, which won and ARIA for Best Female Performer. Teaming up with partner Willy Zygier they released her second album Bitch Epic in 1993.
After making the experimental Ultrasound album with Willy Zygier, Bill McDonald and Paul Hester she went to live in England with Willy and their newborn daughter Syd. They returned to Australia in 1997 with a new album My Third Husband, a dark and brooding album.
In 2000 they released her 4th record, Exquisite Stereo, with the band City of Women. This was much more of a rock record than previous releases. Following this Deborah played the lead in the Australian production of Always...Patsy Cline and recorded an album of Patsy Cline songs to go with this.
Summertown, her fifth album of her own music, was released in 2004 and has a 60s folk-pop sound to it.
DeborahConway’s height is accentuated by the long fl skirt hanging to the ground, its material punctuated with floral imprints in vivid orange, pink and blue.
DeborahConway’s Summerware parties are born out of a similar frustrated with unsuccessful conventional marketing tactics of record companies.
Deborah smiles as she remembers that all the teachers were apparently shivering in July lying around in the library their togs and surf board.
