Sunday Night Dance Party
A spectacular night with an incredible view over the river. Two bands and four sets of live music with the All Star Swingtet and the Mark Turner Blues Trio!
Jessie and Harry Enjoy Themselves
Having just completed a delightful Fringe World season of our Gospel Hour show, Harry and I are back at our favourite Perth venue to explore our most beloved repertoire, swinging through jazz standards, hauntingly beautiful gospel ballads and rousing blues.
We’re excited to play some of our gospel repertoire again and we’re planning on playing some of our favourite Sarah Vaughan arrangements too!
