Sunday Sessions Jazz: ‘The Bowlo XVII’ – Unity Jazz Band

Bowral Bowling Club, Shepherd Street, Bowral NSW, Australia

Event Date: 11 Aug 2024, 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Southern Highlands Jazz presents the fabulous Unity Jazz Band at the Bowral Bowling Club on Sunday the 11th of August, featuring multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and raconteur George Washingmachine (who is very well known and much loved by the SH! Jazz audience) and legendary trumpeter and saxophonist Brett Iggulden OAM.

With an abiding love for hot music and obscure, often forgotten melodies, Brett Iggulden is steeped in Australian jazz history. In Melbourne in 1960, at age 16, he co-founded the legendary Red Onion Jazz Band. The Onions became an enduring household name during the early ‘60s and toured extensively throughout Europe between 1966 and 1971. Brett made 24 records and CDs with the Red Onions and also toured and made records with jazz legends Ade Monsbourgh, Len and Bob Barnard, Tom Baker and Smacka Fitzgibbon amongst others. His enduring contribution to music in Australia has been recognised by being awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2002.

Famous for the world’s longest running residency (at the Unity Hall Hotel in Balmain), the Unity Jazz Band has featured a roll call of Sydney’s best jazz musicians for more than 50 years. With jazz players both old and young it has a wonderful combination of history mixed with young energy and talent.

The $35 ticket price ($30 for SH Jazz members, $20 for student/child) plus booking fee is for event entry only, with reserved table seating.

Food and drink is available to order at the venue. If you have any special song requests or seating preferences, please let us know when you book! Doors open from 1:00pm with the band playing from 2-5pm.

The Bowlo’s kitchen will be serving lunch from 12 noon, and you are very welcome to come early and eat in the main room before the show. Our doors will open at 1:00pm and the band will start at 2:00pm, playing through until 5:00pm. Lunch orders will continue until 2:30pm, with a snack menu and drinks (including tea and coffee) available through the remainder of the afternoon.
