Month: October 2014

The birthday party of Kevin’s long-standing friend, Maurice, was a noisy affair! So much so that few would have heard Sevil. Those who did passed very favourable (and accurate!) comments.

Sevil wasn’t the only singer, that day: Maurice was joined by Neville (various guitars, piano, ukulele) and Kevin (guitar) for a few songs and then joined by others in some of the vocals.

Thanks to Roger Clark for inviting us to play at his iconic jazz club.

For Sevil and Daniel, it was their first time at Dizzy’s and Sevil sang up a storm, under the watchful eye of Dizzy, himself.

Daniel, recently arrived from Newcastle, claimed it to be his first gig at a real jazz club in Melbourne. Not so Ann, who’s had several recent appearances at Dizzy’s (with one of her other bands!).

Some of us played with Monique at the recent Castlemaine Jazz Festival so we were very pleased that she joined us at Dizzy’s.

Sevil’s jazz career was nurtured by pianist, Ted Woollan, who made a guest appearance to accompany Sevil in a couple of songs. Similarly, Kevin began under the guidance of Colin Garrett and his presence on this night was a delightful surprise.
