This was one of the first venues in Canberra where I performed. I am so glad to be back playing for Sam, Max and Riley. I will be joined by multi-instrumentalist and die-hard drummer Stephen Barrett who works with me in education and The Belco Jazz Band. The music is always fresh and energetic with Steve, and I feel completely relaxed playing alongside him. Joining us is the inimitable Ben O’Loghlin, longtime Canberra bassist and jazz jam host at OCI (The Old Canberra Inn), Ben was one of the first people to welcome me to the scene. Everytime I play with Ben, I learn something new and have an absolute ball. Ben is also an accredited Alexander Technician who is offering classes currently for discounted rates for course feedback. So come badger him in the break for more information. We can’t wait to play Gang Gang, so book ahead and we will see you there 🎵
