PRESIDENTS REPORT

What a positive year for me to report on. There were some long faces late in 2013 but jazz club members don’t give up easily and people stepped up to take us into another year of quality live music in a wonderful friendly at-mosphere. It would be wrong, in fact impossible, to single out any particu-lar bands or musicians so I want to simply list the entertainment we have enjoyed. Members will have their own fond memories of special nights they can bring to mind to enjoy again. Over the year we have listened and danced to: The Caxton Street Band, Casino Street, Murwillumbahbarians, Marcus and Rudi, The Cadillac Rock-ers, The Jazz Canaries, 38 Express, Trombone Kellie, The Jazz Mechanix, Diana Faith, Warren Earl, The Blue Skillet Rovers, The Mello Notes, The Red Wine and Cheesie Grin Band, Dennis Warren , The Sheps, and, of course our Early Birds. The Birds were a welcome return to earlier days in the club, a brilliant revival and jazz as it always should be. Some of the gigs were a little experimental but members always responded positively and more often than not, joyfully. Tweed Valley Jazz Club is an organisation for the enjoyment of live music. We are neither heavy nor flippant about our music. This has been a fun music year and I look forward to more of the same – much more – in our next year. Thanks to all our members and sponsors for their support and to the committee for shouldering what seemed at first an awesome respon-sibility. Well done. Merry Christmas and a safe & prosperous New Year!

GEORGE WASHINGMACHINE Feel The Manouche

Manouche is a term derived from the Romany gypsies of Europe, what we in Australia call gypsy jazz. This ine band has been put together by its individual members as an exercise in small group swing. Feel the Manouche has a 'world music' feel. Through it's use of double bass, guitar, accordion & iddle, the band achieves a strong melodic groove that can take on gypsy waltzes, swing jazz, choro and many other lavours of music from our diverse planet. We invite you to sit back and 'Feel the Manouche'.

NOVEMBER GIG: FRIDAY NOV 28TH
