Pippa Wilson with Jazz Notes – Ringwood RSL – 2 July 2016
We’ve had some pretty special events with Pippa Wilson:
‘great interaction between Pippa and band.’ (John) ‘… with all of you so obviously having so much fun it took the evening to a new level and place.’ (Barry) ‘As usual thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment … lots of fun and great music’. (Janice) ‘Have listened to Pippa many times and haven’t heard her sound better — flute and strings rhythm worked really well’ ‘Thank you – a wonderful night, thoroughly enjoyed by all!’
Feedback from our two events with Pippa, last year, was great as was the audience reaction at the Grampians Jazz Festival 2016 so we’ve decided to do it again.
‘Anything Goes’ this time: we’re taking requests (in advance). Please contact us with suggestions for songs!

Doors open at 6:30 and the entertainment warms up at 7:30 with Jazz Notes until 8:00, when Pippa will move the show into top gear.
Together, we’ll take you through a range of jazz, blues and a little gospel with the usual fun and banter that has characterised these shows. And, of course, of course, there’ll be some surprises for Pippa!

Don’t miss out
There were no empty tables at our last event – so book early!
What a great setting for a house party: amongst Marj’s vibrant artworks.
We were asked to play popular music from the 60s to the 90s which we obediently did. Seeing the band’s name, one of the party-goers asked for some jazz and we were pleased to oblige.
Towards the end of the party, we were playing requests to back guest singers. We were fortunate that Ann knew so many of the songs; Tony and Kevin were able to find the charts on their iPads.
Marek Podstawek has played drums with us several times and occasionally on other instruments. After exploring his versatility at the Australian Jazz Convention, we thought we’d do it again at the Grampians. Marek’s very entertaining and a lot of fun!
An unexpected set with short notice at the Punjab restaurant – carried off with aplomb by Debbie Woodroffe. And, thanks to Stan for stepping into the breach.
