Described as two parts 1920s stomp, one-part early 1930s swing with a dash of Gypsy jazz thrown in, the Bathtub Gin Orchestra’s concert at Pearl Beach on August 12 promises to have all the good vibes of the party music of the early 20th Century.
The swinging sextet comprises Phoebe Haselden on violin/vocals, Dorian Mode on piano/vocals, Morgan Haselden on guitar/vocals, Brendan Berlach on clarinet, Fiona Lugg on double bass and Toby Hall on drums.
Dorian Mode is a multi-award winning jazz musician, composer and author who has lived and worked in London and New York, performing at many jazz festivals and venues and on numerous television shows.
Morgan Haselden trained at the Sydney Conservatorium in classical music and as one half of the Mimosa Duo with his wife, violinist Phoebe Haselden, has performed on the Opera House main stage and as guest entertainer on luxury cruise liners.
In 2014, the couple spent six months living and performing in France and the two have toured extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand.
With over 20 years’ teaching and professional performing experience, Brenan Berlach has performed jazz on television and stage and has regularly performed across the Central Coast in a number of diverse ensembles.
Fiona Lugg has accompanied many of Sydney’s top jazz musicians including Bob Barnard, Sandy Evans, the late Roger Frampton, vocalist Lily Dior and Canadian cabaret artist Patricia O’Callaghan.
Toby Hall is one of the most highly regarded drummers in Australia.
The concert is on August 12 at Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.
Doors open at 7.30pm.
