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.
We were sold out again for this night with Pippa. (We even brought in an extra table in the afternoon.)
What a great night it was: Pippa was in fine voice and the band managed to keep up with her. Only a couple of surprises for Pippa but, this time, she had some surprise lyrics for each member of the band. Audience participation, a mystery backing vocalist and even the sound of sleigh bells: we had it all!
Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great night.
And, thanks to those who used the booking system – it makes the administration so much easier!
We left Mark, Tony and Frank to hold the fort at the Ringwood RSL while Ann, Kevin, Daniel and Wade played a previously-booked engagement at Burrinja Café.
The beautiful spring day provided an opportunity for some photographs in the garden.
Pippa Wilson with Jazz Notes in cabaret at Ringwood RSL on 14 November 2015
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!’
At the Ringwood RSL
On Friday, 14 November 2015, we’ll be in the newly-renovated Ringwood RSL.
Ringwood RSL
16 Station St
Ringwood 3134
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!
This will be the last event for Pippa Wilson with Jazz Notes in 2015 so we thought we might include a couple of our favourite Christmas songs.

Facilities
You can dine in the function room during the show (until 9:00) or in the bistro, before the show.
There is a full bar in the function room and we’ll try to leave some room for dancing.
Don’t miss out
There were no empty tables at our last event!
We’ve decided to make this a more intimate event with fewer (and smaller) tables so book early!
Tickets and Booking
Tickets at the door on the night: $30 (subject to prior sale)
