Month: August 2016

We’ve been playing monthly Soirées at Eira Café with the Melbourne Music Performers for a year but this is the first time that Jazz Notes has played there.

So, we decided to make it a big one!

The Ann Craig Trio played for the opening of the Castlemaine Jazz Festival 2016 by the mayor, Councillor Christine Henderson, held in the Market Hall of the Castlemaine Visitor Information Centre. At the conclusion of the opening ceremony, Councillor Henderson joined the Ann Craig Trio, singing I’m Beginning To See The Light. We played there again on the very cold Sunday morning.

The Ann Craig Trio played sets in the Cumberland and Bridge Hotels and, as last year, on the train to Maldon and back.
