Sarah Mcleod has unfortunately cancelled her tour for personal reasons so won't be performing at The Ellington this weekend. Fortunately the wonderful Grace Woodroofe was able to fill the spot before she flies out for an extended stay in the USA. Also new shows from Mae Sta (Singapore) and The Bureaucrats with Rupert Guenther on Sunday.
MONDAY - Closed for a private function
TUESDAY 8.00pm Beans Buma's Boys of Rhythm
Beans Buma's Boys of Rhythm; a high-octane band of young jazz mavericks determined to bring you all the explosive energy of the roaring 20's with a unique twist! If you don't leave with a smile on your face, they'll eat their respective hats! Cam "Beans" Buma (trombone), Sam Timmerman (trumpet), Tom Greble (clarinet/reeds), Malcolm Mah (bass), Dave Gryl (drums) and Steve Vacca (banjo). Click here for tickets
WEDNESDAY 8.00pm Mae Sta (Singapore)
Mae Sta is vocally an exciting cross between the classically soulful Etta James and the new age edgy songstress Kelis. She is a singer and songwriter who prides herself on originality whilst remaining true to the pop music style and the way it makes its listeners feel. Though Mae’s journey has been paved with many different experiences like making it to Singapore Idol's Top 7 and working as a radio presenter, she has always written music. With the release of the “Love Mae Sta" mixtape and her upcoming self-titled debut Album “Mae Sta”, the stage is now set for a new type of Pop Star, one that is completely authentic and not manufactured to fit a mould.

THURSDAY - Closed for Australia Day
FRIDAY 8.00pm Grace Woodroofe
With her uniquely warm, husky, and sometimes mournful voice, Grace Woodroofe is making a special mark on the music scene. At just twenty years of age, Perth-born Grace possesses wisdom and artistry well beyond her years. Forming a bond with music as a teenager, Grace taught herself to play guitar and sing. “I was greatly inspired by blues singers, and developed my own blues indie sound,” she says. At the age of sixteen, Grace’s demo was placed in the capable hands of Ben Harper by none other than the late Heath Ledger. In the words of Mr. Ben Harper himself, ‘You are not going to believe this girl’. Click here for tickets
FRIDAY 11.30pm D Money and The Dynamites
An awesome new band on the scene featuring the one and only soul master Danny Martin joined by the vocal and bass forces of Simon Fisenden - who has recently returned from a successful run of gigs, tours and recordings in the UK. The dynamite is triggered by the phenomenal talents of Andy Fisenden on the drums while young guns Harry Winton (guitar) and Lewis Moody (keyboards) add to the fire power. Click here for tickets
