Month: April 2021

We are gigging LIVE on Saturday, May, 8th at 9 pm! (yeiii!). We would be playing at the beautiful Clocktower Centre Theatre as part of The Clocktower Centre‘s Music in May, FREE performances in Moonee Valley program (booking required).
This will be our first gig since 2020, and this time as a Quintet, with Mark Fitzgibbon on piano, Howard Cairns on double bass, Alex Spicer on drums, and Alistair Mclean on guitar.

Brought to you by the Moonee Valley City Council supporting the performing arts and the community, we are grateful and excited to be part of this “performing arts recovery project as part of Recast 2021, supported by the Victorian Government through the Working for Victoria program”.

Bien sûr, it will be a night filled with chansons françaises (comme Gainsbourg, Misraki) and few jazz standards weaved in. I hope you can join us then. Please book here.

Merci et á bien tôt, j’espere.

Sincere gratitude to @cityofmooneevalley for supporting the performing arts community and for having us. Special thank yous to Iain Finlayson and Jessica Bellamy.
