You are invited to join the Friends for an afternoon of friendship, live music and culture, with our August event ~ Jazz in the Courtyard!

JAZZ IN THE COURTYARD WITH FRIENDS

LIVE PERFORMANCE BY

The Column 8 CT Jazz Band

This brew of music has jazz at its core. But it wanders into funk, blues, swing, reggae/dub, Latin and other ‘world’ music feels. It’s fun to play and to listen to - after all jazz is dance music.

Enjoy The Column 8 Conspiracy Theorists in the glorious sun-dappled courtyard, with drinks at the Friends Bar, and canapes served by the Friends Committee.

Saturday 24th August

3pm - 5pm

Grafton Regional Gallery Courtyard

COST: $20 + booking fee

So many Friends enjoyed the luscious harmonies and live music from Grafton's own VELOUR in April as a part of the PLUNGE Festival earlier this year. Experiencing live music in an exceptional space within the exhibitions of the Grafton Regional Gallery was such a joy, and we were overwhelmed with not only attendance at the event but community feedback afterwards!

“This folks IS the best band l have seen ‘live’ in decades and is suited to any venue or event.”

— Billy James, Harmonica Extrodinario
