Plus men and truffles too …

Here’s a plug for some really great gigs coming up this weekend, and into next week, featuring a few of our friends—who just happen to be amazing musos and singers! Get to see them if you can.

Saturday 15 July the gorgeous Rachel Thorne, from In2Deep band, will be singing with Smooth Ops at the Hellenic Club along with talented Nicole Taylor and Justin Hoffman. Get on your dancing shoes to great covers by Smooth Ops ranging from contemporary, dance, soul and Motown, classical 40s jazz, and even medleys from Queen, Toto, and Metallica! Gig starts around 9.30pm.

If you can’t get over to the Hellenic Club, pop into Mercure Canberra Olims Bar and Bistro on Saturday instead, and taste test a truffle, with matching wines, and kick back with some cool jazz from Tilt Trio. This is a free event courtesy Tarago Truffles.  Come to think of it, as this gig starts at 4.30pm you can still pop over to the Hellenic Club later on, and catch two great bands in one night!

And if that’s not enough … on Thursday 20 July you can catch local Canberra composer, pianist, and accomplished accompanist, Mike Dooley—who just happens to be the other half of In2Deep—performing with, and accompanying, stunning Irish soprano Carmel Conway in concert at the Canberra Southern Cross Club Woden at 8pm. Carmel will also be launching her latest EP, Erin and Beyond. Tickets are on sale now from Ticketek.
