Central Coast jazz band Bathtub Gin Orchestra will bring its new show to Avoca Beach Theatre on Friday August 23 at 7.30pm.
As part of its Gin and Jazz offerings, the theatre will host gin tasting from Erina’s Distillery Botanica.
There will be two lively sets from the zany six-piece jazz outfit with fresh material guaranteed to swing the house.
The band features the exciting interplay of violinist and guitarist, Phoebe and Morgan Haselden, who draw on their experiences of living in Paris and playing French gypsy jazz in cafés and clubs.
Dorian Mode brings a depth of performing experience and his new, original songs inspired by the Coast’s beautiful seascapes.
Clarinettist/saxophonist Brendan Berlach has a wide improvisational range from clarinet sax and piccolo.
Double bassist Fiona Lugg will provide some deep swinging at the bottom end.
Listen out for her original song about ginger beer and little-known American jazz fiddle virtuoso, Emma (Ginger) Smock.
On vintage drumset will be Toby Hall, one of Australia’s finest jazz drummers, whose players list is a who’s who of prominent international and national artists.
Theatre owners, Beth and Norman Hunter, have made significant upgrades recently to sound, lighting, airconditioning, seating and floor coverings.
Sit back in plush red velvet theatre seats and be thoroughly entertained with 20s and 30s jazz, high energy French gypsy and even a jitterbug with a singalong chorus.
