JULIE PARIS

 

Julie Paris, the stage name of contralto vocalist Lorraine Murden, was a Brisbane-based singer who rose to popularity in the mid-1960s as the frontwoman for local band The Dogs, performing 50s and 60s pop and tribute songs. She appeared at venues like TC's Entertainment Centre and the Cloudland Ballroom, as well as on TV shows such as Teen Scene, and won the Brisbane heats for New Faces. She performed in major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, and later teamed up with her husband David Moyes to create nostalgic shows celebrating artists like Helen Shapiro and Connie Francis. She is still out there today belting out a tune.
