The Mad Tea Party
w/ Alice Peters-Burns
You are cordially invited to Alice’s The Mad Tea Party. Alice will serve up all the weird and wonderful music she has encountered in decades of music love. Genre-spanning sugar sweet, refreshingly sour, satisfyingly bitter, daringly spicy and above all fillingly umami songs will be placed on the communal table. Beverages included.
At NQRA, Alice Peters-Burns will partly go back to and partly continue to support artists off the charts’ and clicks’ shenanigans and indulging in her beloved hobby of music listening to bring a little warmth into our lives – thanks as always to the many great artists out there.
Alice Peters-Burns started out as a teenager doing music shows for Belgian private radio stations and after a longish break (still listening though) returned as one of the few women of a certain age not only behind the microphone but in full command of the whole show. Music means the world to her and she loves to share.
