A star of the iconic Australian television show Bandstand, Little Pattie had a succession of hits in the mid-sixties including He’s my Blonde Headed Stompie Wompie Real Gone Surfer Boy and Stompin’ at Maroubra. Her musical talents are credited with many industry awards and a succession of Gold Records.
Pattie’s talent spans a broad spectrum from writing, producing and performing shows for children and hosting charity events, to performances of the works of the more serious 20th century composers. These performances of songs written by Gershwin, Cole Porter and others earn her tremendous respect from her peers. Her CD - Moments Like This, a collection of her favourite standards has been critically acclaimed both here and in the U.S.
At age seventeen, Pattie was the youngest Australian to entertain our troops in Vietnam. She was evacuated from the Australian Task Force Base in Nui Dat, when the famous battle of Long Tan began. Since then she has devoted much of her time to Vietnam Veterans, donating her services at many fundraising concerts and special events. Pattie is also an Honorary Member of the local Blue Mountains Vietnam Veterans and Allied Forces Inc., whose offices are based at the Hub in Springwood.
Pattie maintains a high profile in the music industry, with many live performances on television and at various festivals and events across Australia.
