Jef Neve (Belgium) - Piano and Teus Nobel (Netherlands) - Trumpet & Flugelhorn: Friday 29th. May 2026
The European boys presented a very tasteful and well considered blend of exquisite numbers to a very appreciative listening audience who lapped up their stylish performance on the first leg of their Australian tour since their 2019 date at the Russian Community Centre 7 Years ago. It didn't hurt that Mark Smith delivered pristine sound to complement the subdued lighting perfect for the mood of the evening...

This is the perfect recipe for a wonderful night out. Don't miss out on seeing these two absolute musical powerhouses up close!

Paula Hackney and Andrew Garton Sextet ~ Saturday 9th May 2026
"Songs Between Friends - Echoes of Lady Day and Prez" provided the platform for Paula and Andrew to explore the music that Billie Holiday and Lester Young made together almost 90 Years ago. They were clearly inspired by each other and that came through in this performance as well with top line support from Toby Wren, Helen Russell, Jordy Stitt and Evan J. Evans.
Thanks to Brennan Finighan and Mary Wilson from Clear Image Photography who provided these fabulous photos of the event, as well as the quality video above...
