FRIDAY 7.00pm James Flynn Reflections CD Launch
James Flynn was born in Scotland but today he is a true citizen of the world. He is based in Perth, Western Australia, but grew up in Glasgow. The two cities could not be further apart geographically. James’ vocal talent, his personality and sense of humour has ensured that he has made many friends all over the world and secured the support of a dedicated and loyal fan base wherever he has performed. I've recorded seven albums to date, the last four recorded in Perth, Western Australia. I still think it incredible that Perth, the most isolated city in the world, can produce such world class musicians. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with such a magnificent pool of local talent over the last decade. Tom O'Halloran – Piano, Ray walker - Guitar, Paul Pooley – Bass, Chris Tarr– Drums and Paul Millard - Saxes. Click here for tickets
FRIDAY 10.30pm Elise Lynelle Farewell Show

However, she couldn't do it without sharing the stage one last time with some of Perth's finest musicians, Guitar - Nick Pontin, Keys - Sid Pattni, Bass - Ash Sinclair, Mega Beatz - Danger B, Brassiness - The Imperial Horns Sam Timmerman and Tom Greble.

SUNDAY 5.30pm The Grid (USA/Aus)
Tim Jago - Guitars, Dane Alderson - Bass, Ben Vanderwal - Drums. In Australia the suburban lounge room generally gets a bad wrap. It is accused of being the setting for slovenly THC induced inaction or the crime scene of murdered hours in front of video games or even as the complicit venue for screenings of television programs of which the honorable inventors of said apparatus were to watch now, they would cringe in shame. However there is a small unassuming lounge room in Glendalough, Perth, Australia that has stripped itself of all stigma and been reinvented as an incubator for new music. The Grid began it's days in this lounge room. Here guitarist Tim Jago, bassist Dane Alderson and drummer Ben Vanderwal would congregate regularly, putting the Jazz guitar trio format through the veritable mangler. Like any professional mangler will tell you some garments mangle much better than others and after a long process, the Grid worked out which songs were best mangled, and of course how to best mangle them. The resulting music is a mix (or mangle) of jazz sensibility, fusion audacity, quasi-rock poses, minimalist posturing, electro hand claps, country spooning and some good music that you will probably like.
