Jazz in Sydney....Bridge City Jazz Band plays at The Pines, Dural this Sunday 20th March 12.30pm-4pm....

REGRETABLY...rained off...!!
We had a great night at Club Ashfield last Friday 18th March with our special birthday bash for banjoist Paul Baker...also playing on the night were Paul Furniss, who led the band with Viv Carter on drums....
The Bridge City JB has the gig this Sunday at The Pines some 200 metres out of Dural , on the road to Wiseman's Ferry on the north western outskirts of Sydney.
It's a picnic venue with an admission charge which I think is $10/head...tables and chairs set out under massive Norfolk Island pines make a great setting for a picnic lunch and BYO....
Downside is it is weather dependant and the decision to cancel if wet is usually taken around 10am..all I can suggest if you must telephone somebody, perhaps me DQ 0407.250.692...but endeavor to find out other ways first to prevent me being inundated with 'phone inquiries....
The band has as special guests....Paul Furniss leading on soprano saxophone and other reeds, Rachel Hamilton on piano and Viv Carter on drums with John Bates trombone and vocals, Colin Davies double bass, Dennis Quinlan banjo and Colin Beal reeds.....
