Month: October 2013

It was about 4:30 that we discovered we were expected to play at Kelly’s in Olinda at 7 but we were set up – just in time.

Jan Blake stepped in for the vocals, bringing a stack of charts.

The restaurant was full and there was good engagement with the band – it was pretty relaxed and we all had fun (including the person who was controlling the colour of the lights)!

By the end, Jan was taking requests from the audience.

On Friday 11 October 2013, the Mannigham City Council hosted a morning tea as part of the Victorian Seniors’ Festival.

During the morning tea, there were two musical acts on stage, performing to a full house of some 400 people:

• Nicole Wallace, soprano, singing mainly opera
• Jazz Notes

The day ran very smoothly (thanks, Anna) and it looked like everyone had a lot of fun. We certainly did!
