Big Band to raise the roof

THE GOLD Coast Big Band is well known to the jazz scene on the Gold Coast and surrounds and they are coming to Condong Bowling Club on Friday, June 30.

They have been well received at venues on the Northern Rivers and the Gold Coast over the years and the group are eager to raise the roof at Condong.

In October 2022, they performed at the Brisbane Big Band Festival, and were complimented by adjudicators for their interpretation and selection of arrangements and material.

The Big Band features Mal Capewell alto, David Katz tenor, Gordon Matheson guitar,

Col Atkinson bass and vocals and band leader Paul Radford on trombone.

“We’ve had some great nights at the club recently and we’re inviting residents to come down and enjoy this outstanding group visiting on Friday, June 30,” Tweed Valley Jazz & Blues event coordinator Peter Hurcombe said.
