Georgie Winchester is lemon fresh and enjoying sweet success

MAITLAND singer-songwriter Georgie Winchester has been toiling away in the kitchen this week baking up a sweet treat for fans at her EP launch party on Saturday at the King Street Warehouse.

Besides the regular bar service, punters will be able to enjoy free homemade lemon slice courtesy of Winchester.

But most importantly, all ticket sales from the show will be donated to Women's Legal Service NSW, a not-for-profit organisation that deals with domestic violence, sexual assault, family law, discrimination, victims support, child protection, human rights and access to justice.

The service is particularly personal to Winchester.

"I have a history with domestic violence and they helped me, so I wanted to give back and do something useful, so that's why I chose them," Winchester says.

Two weeks ago Winchester released her new five-track EP, Pretty Things and last week she dropped a surprise collaboration with Maitland producer Just A Gent, called Senseless.

The EDM track has already had more than 48,000 streams on Spotify and is a significant step away from her traditional folk and indie sound.

"I've had a lot of producers messaging me saying, 'Let's collaborate'," she says. "It's been really positive."

Pretty Things Fest will also feature Kingsley James, Stoney Dubs, Aunty Alan & The Uncools and the final ever set from all-girl Newcastle punk band Boycott, who announced their break-up this week.
