Nicki Parrott and her Northern Rivers Band

presented in Partnership with Musica Viva Australia

Feelin' Groovy

An evening of peace, love and discovery—songs from the 1960s, the decade that brought us the everything from the Beatles to Sinatra… Nancy that is!   

Nicki Parrot and her Northern Rivers Band will bring a great jazz vibe to the town hall. Cabaret-style table seating means you can bring your own drinks and nibbles as we create a Gunnedah jazz-club vibe with the Town Hall the perfect backdrop.

After 30 years of headlining New York, Japan and Europe to sold-out performances at most of the world’s top jazz venues and festivals, international recording and touring artist Nicki Parrott celebrates her return home to “slow down and chill out” with her exceptional  Northern Rivers Band.
