Ian Date, swinging past from Ireland.  Nigel Date, dropping in from out of space.  

Manouche is a term derived from the Romany gypsies of Europe, what we in Australia call gypsy jazz.

This fine band has been put together by it's individual members as an exercise in small group swing.

Feel the Manouche has a 'world music' feel. Through it's use of double bass, guitar, accordion & fiddle, the band

achieves a strong melodic groove that can take on gypsy waltzes, swing jazz, choro and many other flavours of music from

our diverse planet. We invite you to sit back and 'Feel the Manouche'.

The return to Colbourne Ave of George Washingmachine on violin, ukelele & vocal, with Arthur Washington on guitar, Clare O’Meara on acccordion, violin & vocal, and Stan Valacos on double bass.

Nigel Date (guitar), Daniel Weltlinger (violin), Stan Valacos (double bass), Tim Bradley (drums)

This sophisticated jazz ensemble is well known for its swinging renditions of the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli of the ‘Quintette du Hot Club de France’.

Come along and settle in on one of our lounges for what will be a fabulous night of ‘Gypsy Jazz’, and your last chance to see Daniel play before he leaves to tour the world with Lulo Reinhardt.
