The catholics – Saturday, 21st of January 2023:
Sydney’s beloved, long-running worldbeat/jazz ensemble help you kickstart the year with their first show of 2023.
This one features another never-before-seen combination – The catholics welcome back founding member, the incredible Sandy Evans, on saxophones, and are delighted to announce a return appearance by Tim Rollinson, who wowed everyone on his catholics debut at the Foundry in December on guitar and banjo.
And also another familiar face – consummate percussionist Jess Ciampa.
Then there’s Hamish Stuart on the drums, Gary Daley (piano accordion, melodica), James Greening on trombone and trumpet, and leader Lloyd Swanton on the bass.
The catholics will be infusing their jazz with an intoxicating blend of worldbeat grooves – Caribbean, Brazilian, African, southern funk, and not a little of that hard-to-pin-down catholicity.
No more joyous way to see in the new year!
