Live Jazz in Sydney ... Time for another special birthday bash at Club Ashfield- Monique Lysiak, a favourite piano player of ours is having a "significant birthday"......we're celebrating this coming Friday 2nd September...

Unique Monique.... alias Monique Lysiak is having a "significant birthday" and we're celebrating it for her at Club Ashfield on Friday 2nd  September....in the upstairs bistro area..7.30pm to 10.30pm.....
Significant birthday...? Nope I'm not say which but we only do those ending in a "0" or a "5" and for special people.....
Chas. McDevitt will start and finish the evening off on trumpet with the band...Monique will play piano as much as she likes, Adam Barnard is on drums....
The rest of the band....John Bates on trombone, Dennis Quinlan on banjo, Colin Davies on double bass and Colin Beal on alto sax and clarinet will make up the night....
But if there's some muso's we know come along I'll make up a different group for a set or so....
The music and atmosphore will be awesome....
Great traditional Jazz....yes Monique plays it with a passion....
Big birthday cake to cut and help Monique eat around 8.45pm and I've made up a special A3 sized birthday card, featuring photos of her life and with space for you to write congratulatory messages to her....
All we need is for you to come along.....
